Isomorphically expansive mappings in $l_2$

ORBITALLY NONEXPANSIVE MAPPINGS

We define a class of nonlinear mappings which is properly larger than the class of nonexpansive mappings. We also give a fixed point theorem for this new class of mappings.

Iterated function systems and well-posedness

Abstract Fractals and multivalued fractals play an important role in biology, quantum mechanics, computer graphics, dynamical systems, astronomy and astrophysics, geophysics, etc. Especially, there are important consequences of the iterated function (or multifunction) systems in several topics of applied sciences [see for example: El Naschie MS. Iterated function systems and the two-slit experiment of quantum mechanics. Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 1994;4:1965–8; Iovane G. Cantorian spacetime and Hilbert space: Part I-Foundations.

Fixed point theory for a class of generalized nonexpansive mappings

AbstractIn this paper we introduce two new classes of generalized nonexpansive mapping and we study both the existence of fixed points and their asymptotic behavior.

The Ptolemy and Zbăganu constants of normed spaces

Abstract In every inner product space H the Ptolemy inequality holds: the product of the diagonals of a quadrilateral is less than or equal to the sum of the products of the opposite sides. In other words, ‖ x − y ‖ ‖ z − w ‖ ≤ ‖ x − z ‖ ‖ y − w ‖ + ‖ z − y ‖ ‖ x − w ‖ for any points w , x , y , z in H . It is known that for each normed space ( X , ‖ ⋅ ‖ ) , there exists a constant C such that for any w , x , y , z ∈ X , we have ‖ x − y ‖ ‖ z − w ‖ ≤ C ( ‖ x − z ‖ ‖ y − w ‖ + ‖ z − y ‖ ‖ x − w ‖ ) . The smallest such C is called the Ptolemy constant of X and is denoted by C P ( X ) . We study the relationships between this constant and the geometry of the space X , and hence with metric fix…

The Dunkl–Williams constant, convexity, smoothness and normal structure

Abstract In this paper we exhibit some connections between the Dunkl–Williams constant and some other well-known constants and notions. We establish bounds for the Dunkl–Williams constant that explain and quantify a characterization of uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces in terms of the Dunkl–Williams constant given by M. Baronti and P.L. Papini. We also study the relationship between Dunkl–Williams constant, the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings and normal structure.

Fixed point theory for multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings

A very general class of multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings is defined. We also give some fixed point results for these mappings, and finally we compare and separate this class from the other multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings introduced in the recent literature.

Fixed point properties and proximinality in Banach spaces

Abstract In this paper we prove the existence of a fixed point for several classes of mappings (mappings admitting a center, nonexpansive mappings, asymptotically nonexpansive mappings) defined on the closed convex subsets of a Banach space satisfying some proximinality conditions. In particular, we derive a sufficient condition, more general than weak star compactness, such that if C is a bounded closed convex subset of l 1 satisfying this condition, then every nonexpansive mapping T : C → C has a fixed point.

Fixed point theory for almost convex functions

Traditionally, metric fixed point theory has sought classes of spaces in which a given type of mapping (nonexpansive, assymptotically or generalized nonexpansive, uniformly Lipschitz, etc.) from a nonempty weakly compact convex set into itself always has a fixed point. In some situations the class of space is determined by the application while there is some degree of freedom in constructing the map to be used. With this in mind we seek to relax the conditions on the space by considering more restrictive types of mappings.

On the structure of the set of equivalent norms on ℓ1 with the fixed point property

Abstract Let A be the set of all equivalent norms on l 1 which satisfy the FPP. We prove that A contains rays. In fact, every renorming in l 1 which verifies condition (⁎) in Theorem 2.1 is the starting point of a (closed or open) ray composed by equivalent norms on l 1 with the FPP. The standard norm ‖ ⋅ ‖ 1 or P.K. Linʼs norm defined in Lin (2008) [12] are examples of such norms. Moreover, we study some topological properties of the set A with respect to some equivalent metrics defined on the set of all norms on l 1 equivalent to ‖ ⋅ ‖ 1 .

The fixed point property for mappings admitting a center

Abstract We introduce a class of nonlinear continuous mappings in Banach spaces which allow us to characterize the Banach spaces without noncompact flat parts in their spheres as those that have the fixed point property for this type of mapping. Later on, we give an application to the existence of zeroes for certain kinds of accretive operators.

Geometric mean and triangles inscribed in a semicircle in Banach spaces

AbstractWe consider the triangles with vertices x, −x and y where x,y are points on the unit sphere of a normed space. Using the geometric means of the variable lengths of the sides of these triangles, we define two geometric constants for Banach spaces. These constants are closely related to the modulus of convexity of the space under consideration, and they seem to represent a useful tool to estimate the exact values of the James and Jordan–von Neumann constants of some Banach spaces.

Fixed Points for Pseudocontractive Mappings on Unbounded Domains

We give some fixed point results for pseudocontractive mappings on nonbounded domains which allow us to obtain generalizations of recent fixed point theorems of Penot, Isac, and Németh. An application to integral equations is given.

Uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings

Abstract It is shown that if the modulus Γ X of nearly uniform smoothness of a reflexive Banach space satisfies Γ X ′ ( 0 ) 1 , then every bounded closed convex subset of X has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. In particular, uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have this property since they are properly included in this class of spaces. This answers a long-standing question in the theory.

A Mönch type fixed point theorem under the interior condition

Abstract In this paper we show that the well-known Monch fixed point theorem for non-self mappings remains valid if we replace the Leray–Schauder boundary condition by the interior condition. As a consequence, we obtain a partial generalization of Petryshyn's result for nonexpansive mappings.

A Short Proof that Some Mappings of the Unit Ball of ℓ2 Are Never Nonexpansive

It is known that some particular self-mappings of the closed unit ball Bl2 of l2 with no fixed points cannot be nonexpansive with respect to any renorming of l2. We give here a short proof of this ...

On Strong Convergence of Halpern’s Method for Quasi-Nonexpansive Mappings in Hilbert Spaces

In this paper, we introduce a Halpern’s type method to approximate common fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping T and a strongly quasi-nonexpansive mappings S, defined in a Hilbert space, such that I − S is demiclosed at 0. The result shows as the same algorithm converges to different points, depending on the assumptions of the coefficients. Moreover, a numerical example of our iterative scheme is given.

Banach spaces which are r-uniformly noncreasy

Abstract We consider a family of spaces wider than UNC spaces introduced by Prus, and we give some fixed point results in the setting of these spaces.

Stability of the Fixed Point Property for Nonexpansive Mappings

In 1971 Zidler [Zi 71] showed that every separable Banach space (X, ‖·‖) admits an equivalent renorming, (X, ‖·‖0), which is uniformly convex in every direction (UCED), and consequently it has weak normal structure and so the weak fixed point property (WFPP) [D-J-S 71].
