It is well known that contractive representations of the disk algebra are completely contractive. Let A denote the subalgebra of the disk algebra consisting of those functions f for which f ′(0) = 0. We prove that there are contractive representations of A which are not completely contractive, and furthermore characterize those contractive representations which are completely contractive.

Some new limit contractive conditions in fuzzy metric spaces are introduced, by using property (E.A), some common fixed point theorems for four maps are proved in GV-fuzzy metric spaces. As an application of our results, some new contractive conditions are presented, and some common fixed point theorems are proved under these contractive conditions. The contractive conditions presented in this ...

We consider contractive homomorphisms of a planar algebra A(Ω) over a finitely connected bounded domain Ω ⊆ C and ask if they are necessarily completely contractive. We show that a homomorphism ρ : A(Ω) → B(H) for which dim(A(Ω)/ ker ρ) = 2 is the direct integral of homomorphisms ρT induced by operators on two dimensional Hilbert spaces via a suitable functional calculus ρT : f 7→ f(T ), f ∈ A(...

We introduce Suzuki type P-contractive mappings by taking into account the concepts of contractive, P-contractive, and contractive mappings. Then, for such on compact metric spaces, we present a fixed point theorem that is more general than well-known Edelstein theorem.

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...

*Correspondence: suzuki-t@mns.kyutech.ac.jp Department of Basic Sciences, Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Tobata, Kitakyushu 804-8550, Japan Abstract We give characterizations of the contractive conditions, by using convergent sequences. Since we use a unified method, we can compare the contractive conditions very easily. We also discuss the contractive conditions of int...

In this paper, first we have established two sets of sufficient conditions for a TS-IF contractive mapping to have unique fixed point in a intuitionistic fuzzy metric space. Then we have defined ( ε , λ ) IF-uniformly locally contractive mapping and η− chainable space, where it has been proved that the ( ε , λ ) IF-uniformly locally contractive mapping possesses a fixed point.

In this paper, we continue the study of contractive conditions for mappings in complete partial metric spaces. Concretely, we present fixed point results for weakly contractive and weakly Kannan mappings in such a way that the classical metric counterpart results are retrieved as a particular case. Special attention to the cyclical case is paid. Moreover, the well-posedness of the fixed point p...

We find concrete necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of contractive completions of Hankel partial contractions of size 4×4 in the extremal case. Along the way we introduce a new approach that allows us to solve, algorithmically, the contractive completion problem for 4 × 4 Hankel matrices. As an application, we obtain a concrete example of a partially contractive 4× 4 Hankel m...

Barnsley (2006) introduced the notion of a fractal top, which is an addressing function for the set attractor of an Iterated Function System (IFS). A fractal top is analogous to a set attractor as it is the fixed point of a contractive transformation. However, the definition of IFS is extended so that it works on the colour component as well as the spatial part of a picture. They can be used to...
