Computing the smallest fixed point of nonexpansive mappings arising in game theory and static analysis of programs

چکیده
The problem of computing the smallest fixed point of a monotone map arises classically in the study of zero-sum repeated games. It also arises in static analysis of programs by abstract interpretation. In this context, the discount rate may be negative. We characterize the minimality of a fixed point in terms of the nonlinear spectral radius of a certain semidifferential. We apply this characterization to design a policy iteration algorithm, which applies to the case of finite state and action spaces. The algorithm returns a locally minimal fixed point, which turns out to be globally minimal when the discount rate is nonnegative.

Common Fixed Points and Invariant Approximations for Cq-commuting Generalized nonexpansive mappings
Some common fixed point theorems for Cq-commuting generalized nonexpansive mappings have been proved in metric spaces. As applications, invariant approximation results are also obtained. The results proved in the paper extend and generalize several known results including those of M. Abbas and J.K. Kim [Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 44(2007) 537-545], I. Beg, N. Shahzad and M. Iqbal [Approx. Theory A...

In 2006, Espinola and Kirk made a useful contribution on combining fixed point theoryand graph theory. Recently, Reich and Zaslavski studied a new inexact iterative scheme for fixed points of contractive and nonexpansive multifunctions. In this paper, by using the main idea of their work and the idea of combining fixed point theory on intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces and graph theory, ...
متن کاملCharacterization of weak fixed point property for new class of set-valued nonexpansive mappings
In this paper, we introduce a new class of set-valued mappings which is called MD-type mappings. This class of mappings is a set-valued case of a class of the D-type mappings. The class of D-type mappings is a generalization of nonexpansive mappings that recently introduced by Kaewkhao and Sokhuma. The class of MD-type mappings includes upper semi-continuous Suzuki type mappings, upper semi-con...
متن کاملApproximation of fixed points for a continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces
This paper introduces an implicit scheme for a continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings on a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space with respect to a sequence of invariant means defined on an appropriate space of bounded, continuous real valued functions of the semigroup. The main result is to prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit scheme to the unique solutio...
