The Lefschetz fixed point theorem follows easily from the identification of the Lefschetz number with the fixed point index. This identification is a consequence of the functoriality of the trace in symmetric monoidal categories. There are refinements of the Lefschetz number and the fixed point index that give a converse to the Lefschetz fixed point theorem. An important part of this theorem is...

In this paper, we investigate nonlinear fractional differential equations of arbitrary order with advanced arguments    D 0+u(t) + a(t)f(u(θ(t))) = 0, 0 < t < 1, n− 1 < α ≤ n, u(i)(0) = 0, i = 0, 1, 2, · · · , n− 2, [D 0+ u(t)]t=1 = 0, 1 ≤ β ≤ n− 2, where n > 3 (n ∈ N), D 0+ is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative of order α, f : [0,∞) → [0,∞), a : [0, 1] → (0,∞) and θ : (0, ...

The Brouwer Fixed Point Theorem states that any continuous mapping from a closed ball in Euclidean space to itself has at least one fixed point. This theorem has a wide variety of applications in areas such as differential equations, economics, and game theory. Although this is fundamentally an analytic and topological statement, there exists an elegant combinatorial proof using Sperner’s Lemma...

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 ...

in the present paper‎, ‎we introduce the concept of generalized multivalued $f$ -‎contraction mappings and give a fixed point result‎, ‎which is a proper‎ ‎generalization of some multivalued fixed point theorems including nadler's‎.

in the present paper, we give a new approach to caristi's fixed pointtheorem on non-archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. for this we define anordinary metric $d$ using the non-archimedean fuzzy metric $m$ on a nonemptyset $x$ and we establish some relationship between $(x,d)$ and $(x,m,ast )$%. hence, we prove our result by considering the original caristi's fixedpoint theorem.

objective: in all ceramic fixed partial dentures the connector area is a common fracture location. the survival time of three-unit fixed partial dentures may be improved by altering the connector design in regions of maximum tension. the purpose of this study was to determine the effect of buccolingual increase of the connector width on the stress distribution in posterior fixed partial denture...
