Existence of fixed point in orthogonal metric spaces has been initiated recently by Eshaghi and et al. [On orthogonal sets and Banach fixed Point theorem, Fixed Point Theory, in press]. In this paper, we introduce the notion of the strongly orthogonal sets and prove a genuine generalization of Banach' fixed point theorem and Walter's theorem. Also, we give an example showing that our main theor...

In this paper, we revisit a diffusive Leslie–Gower predator–preymodel with Holling-type II functional responses and Dirichlet boundary condition. It is shown that multiple positive steady state solutions exist under certain conditions on the parameters, while for another parameter region, the positive steady state solution is unique and locally asymptotically stable. Results are proved by using...

recently, zhang and song [q. zhang, y. song, fixed point theory forgeneralized $varphi$-weak contractions,appl. math. lett. 22(2009) 75-78] proved a common fixed point theorem for two mapssatisfying generalized $varphi$-weak contractions. in this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem fora family of compatible maps. in fact, a new generalization of zhangand song's theorem is given.

A major challenge in applying the Conley index theory to a given dynamical system is to find isolating neighborhoods of the invariant sets of interest. In this paper we describe a computational method which allows for the efficient construction of isolating neighborhoods. As an example we compute an isolating neighborhood of a heteroclinic orbit connecting a fixed point to a period two point in...

We present new results on the existence of multiple positive solutions for an elastic beam equation subject to nonlocal and nonlinear boundary conditions. Our approach is based on classical fixed point index theory. The results are joint with Paolamaria Pietramala.

Let ∆ be the ball |x| < 1 in the complex vector space C, let f : ∆ → C be a holomorphic mapping and let M be a positive integer. Assume that the origin 0 = (0, . . . , 0) is an isolated fixed point of both f and the M -th iteration f of f . Then for each factor m of M, the origin is again an isolated fixed point of f and the fixed point index μfm(0) of f m at the origin is well defined, and so ...
