We give some extensions of the beautiful 1968 fixed point theorem Maia [Maia, M. G. Un’osservazione sulle contrazioni metriche. (Italian) Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova 40 (1968), 139–143] to three classes enriched contractive mappings in Banach spaces: contractions, Kannan contractions and Ćirić-Reich-Rus contractions.

We study locally compact contractive local groups, that is, locally compact local groups with a contractive pseudo-automorphism. We prove that if such an object is locally connected, then it is locally isomorphic to a Lie group. We also prove a related structure theorem for locally compact contractive local groups which are not necessarily locally connected. These results are local analogues of...

The Banach contraction principle appeared in explicit form in Banach’s thesis [5] in 1922 where it was used to establish the existence of a solution for an integral equation. Since then, it has become a very popular tool in solving existence problems in many branches of mathematics. Extensions of this principle were obtained either by generalizing the domain of mappings or by extending the cont...

We introduce notions of finite presentation and co-exactness which serve as qualitative quantitative analogues finite-dimensionality for operator modules over completely contractive Banach algebras. With these we begin the development a local theory by introducing lifting property, nuclearity, semi-discreteness. For large class prove that property is equivalent to flatness, generalizing space r...

Fuzzy Graphs are having numerous applications in problems like Network analysis, Clustering, Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks. The analysis of properties of fuzzy graphs has facilitated the study of many complicated networks like Internet. In this paper we study the structures of complement of many important fuzzy graphs such as Fuzzy cycles, Blocks etc. The complement of fuzzy graphs wi...

The theory of fuzzy sets was inspired by Zadeh [10]. Subsequently, Rosenfeld introduced the concept of a fuzzy subgroup of a group [9]. Fuzzy cosets and fuzzy normal subgroups of a group G have been studied in [3, 5, 8]. In [4], the ring of cosets of a fuzzy ideal was constructed. Let A and B be fuzzy subgroups of G such that B ⊆ A. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the notion of fuzzy ...

The Hahn-Banach theorem in its simplest form asserts that a bounded linear functional defined on a subspace of a Banach space can be extended to a linear functional defined everywhere, without increasing its norm. There is an order-theoretic version of this extension theorem (Theorem 0.1 below) that is often more useful in context. The purpose of these lecture notes is to discuss the noncommuta...
