Selected Topics in the Theory of Fixed Points
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a treatment for mathematical economists of three topics in the theory of xed points: (a) the Lefschetz xed point index; (b) the Lefschetz xed point theorem; (c) the theory of essential sets of xed points. Our treatment is geometric, based on elementary techniques, and largely selfcontained. In particular there is no essential reference to algebraic topology. Within the chosen scope of the paper the results are at the level of generality of the mathematical literature. The development of these theories for correspondences is emphasized. It emerges that the solution concepts of Kohlberg and Mertens (1986) have a de nite, though obscure, place in this theory.

On $F$-Weak Contraction of Generalized Multivalued Integral Type Mappings with $alpha $-admissible
The purpose of this work is to investigate the existence of fixed points of some mappings in fixed point theory by combining some important concepts which are F-weak contractions, multivalued mappings, integral transformations and α-admissible mappings. In fixed point theory, it is important to find fixed points of some classess under F- or F-weak contractions. Also multivalued mappings is the ...
متن کاملCommon 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...

Introduction: One of the most appropriate methods for needs assessment is to assess learners' needs and arrange the educational programs based on their viewpoints. The aim of this study was to determine the topics and content of Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs in five selected subjects by medical education experts and target group, based on the real needs of General Practitioners (G...
متن کاملA History of Selected Topics in Categorical Algebra I: From Galois Theory to Abstract Commutators and Internal Groupoids
This paper is a chronological survey, with no proofs, of a direction in categorical algebra, which is based on categorical Galois theory and involves generalized central extensions, commutators, and internal groupoids in Barr exact Mal’tsev and more general categories. Galois theory proposes a notion of central extension, and motivates the study of internal groupoids, which is then used as an a...
متن کاملSome Fixed Point Results on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Metric Spaces with a Graph
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 کاملStrong convergence results for fixed points of nearly weak uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings of I-Dominated mappings
In this paper, we prove strong convergence results for a modified Mann iterative process for a new class of I- nearly weak uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings in a real Banach space. The class of I-nearly weak uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings is an interesting generalization of the class of nearly weak uniformly L-Lipschitzian mappings which inturn is a generalization of the class of nearly unif...
