A hereditarily indecomposable tree-like continuum without the fixed point property is constructed. The example answers a question of Knaster and Bellamy.

Radial lines, suitably parameterized, are geodesics, but notice that the distance from the origin to the (Euclidean) unit sphere is infinite. This model makes it intuitively clear that the boundary at infinity of hyperbolic space is Sn−1. Hyperbolic space together with its boundary at infinity has the topology of a closed ball, and isometries of hyperbolic space extend uniquely to a homeomorphi...

By using the fixed-point index theory and Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem,we study the existence of multiple solutions to the three-point boundary value problem u′′′ t a t f t, u t , u′ t 0, 0 < t < 1; u 0 u′ 0 0; u′ 1 − αu′ η λ, where η ∈ 0, 1/2 , α ∈ 1/2η, 1/η are constants, λ ∈ 0,∞ is a parameter, and a, f are given functions. New existence theorems are obtained, which extend and comple...

In this paper, we obtain a fixed point theorem for weakly compatible mappings by altering distances between the points via  contractive condition in D-metric spaces. Our work include the results of Bansal, Chugh and Kumar [1], Veerapandi and Chandersekher Rao [14], and Dhage [4]. An example is given at the end to prove the validity of the theorem.

In this paper, we use the concept of a w-distance to prove a common coupled fixed point theorem for a family of maps on a metric space. Our results unify, generalize and complement the comparable results from the current literature.

The main result of this paper is that every non-reflexive subspace Y of L 1 [0, 1] fails the fixed point property for closed, bounded, convex subsets C of Y and nonexpansive (or contractive) mappings on C. Combined with a theorem of Maurey we get that for subspaces Y of L 1 [0, 1], Y is reflexive if and only if Y has the fixed point property. For general Banach spaces the question as to whether...

The paper consider positive solutions for second-order four-point boundary value problem u′′(t) + f(t, u, u′) = 0, t ∈ (0, 1) u(0) = αu(η), u(1) = βu(ξ) where the first order derivative is involved in the nonlinear term explicitly. By using Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem and triple fixed point theorem, we show the existence, multiplicity of positive solutions for the problem. Some examples a...

In this paper we proved fixed point theorem of four mapping on fuzzy metric space based on the concept of semi copatibility using implicit relation. These results generalize several corresponding relations in fuzzy metric space. All the results of this paper are new.

In this paper we prove the existence of common fixed points for a pair of self mappings under strict contractive conditions in the settings of a fuzzy metric space.Also we prove a common fixed point theorem for a quadruplet of self mappings in fuzzy metric space.

In this paper by using of Suzuki contraction , we prove a fixed point theorem in the set up of fuzzy metric spaces.We also show that, in some specific cases, the results reduce to Suzuki contraction in fuzzy metric spaces. Finally, one example is presented to verify the effectiveness and applicability of our main results.
