L’idealismo trascendente tra Cusano e Leibniz
2013
I aim at demonstrating how both Nicholas of Cusa and Leibniz glean from the platonic school of thought the idealistic notion of ‘truth as expression’, orienting it towards the singularity of being. I will also reveal a second assumption derived from the philosophia perennis by both thinkers: the idea of philosophy as hypothetic and intersubjective undertaking. The theoretical results of this philosophical conceptualization are formulated in the name of the Possibility rather than in the name of Necessity. Under this shared perspective, Nicholas and Leibniz interpret the substantial forms (formae substantiales) as “unities without plurality”. It follows that the dialectic subjects can only b…
A fixed point theorem for (varphi,L)-weak contraction mappings on a partial metric space
2014
In this paper, we explore (varphi,L)-weak contractions of Berinde by obtaining Suzuki-type fixed point results. Thus, we obtain generalized fixed point results for Kannan's, Chatterjea's and Zamfirescu's mappings on a 0-complete partial metric space. In this way we obtain very general fixed point theorems that extend and generalize several related results from the literature.
Proper $k$-ball-contractive mappings in $C_b^m[0, + infty)$
2021
In this paper we deal with the Banach space C-b(m)[0,+infinity] of all m-times continuously derivable, bounded with all derivatives up to the order m, real functions defined on [0, +infinity). We prove, for any epsilon > 0, the existence of a new proper k-ball-contractive retraction with k < 1+epsilon of the closed unit ball of the space onto its boundary, so that the Wosko constant W-gamma(C-b(m)[0,+infinity]) is equal to 1.
Generalized (varphi,psi)-weak contractions involving (f,g)-reciprocally continuous maps in fuzzy metric spaces
2013
We introduce the notion of (f,g)-reciprocal continuity in fuzzy metric spaces and prove a common fixed point theorem for a pair of sub-compatible maps by employing a generalized (varphi,psi)-weak contraction. As an application of our result, we prove a theorem for a (varphi,psi)-weak cyclic contraction in fuzzy metric spaces.

Lefschetz fixed-point theorem furnishes a way for counting the fixed points of a suitable mapping. In particular, the Lefschetz fixed-point theorem states that if Lefschetz number is not zero, then the involved mapping has at least one fixed point, that is, there exists a point that does not change upon application of mapping. ewline Let $f={f_q}:E o E$ be an endomorphism of degree zero of graded vector space $E={E_q}$. Let $ ilde{E}=E setminus {x in E : f^n(x)=0, mbox{ for some }n in mathbb{N}}$. Define the generalized Lefschetz number $Lambda(f)$ by $$Lambda(f)=sum_{q geq 0}(-1)^qmbox{Tr}(f_q),$$ where $mbox{Tr}(f)=mbox{tr}( ilde{f})$ is the generalized trace of $f$, ``tr'' is the ordinar…
Fixed point results for weak contractive mappings in ordered K-metric spaces
2012
In this paper, we derive new coincidence and common fixed point theorems for self-maps satisfying a weak contractive condition in an ordered K-metric space. As application, the obtained results are used to prove an existence theorem of solutions of a nonlinear integral equation.
Fixed points for weak $\varphi$-contractions on partial metric spaces
2011
In this paper, following [W.A. Kirk, P.S. Srinivasan, P. Veeramani, Fixed points for mappings satisfying cyclical contractive conditions, Fixed Point Theory, 4 (2003) 79-89], we give a fixed point result for cyclic weak $\varphi$-contractions on partial metric space. A Maia type fixed point theorem for cyclic weak $\varphi$-contractions is also given.
A note on boundary conditions for nonlinear operators
2008
We investigate boundary conditions for strict-$\psi$-contractive and $\psi$-condensing operators. We derive results on the existence of eigenvectors with positive and negative eigenvalues and we obtain fixed point theorems for classes of noncompact opera\-tors.

Let T be a nonexpansive self-mapping of a closed bounded convex subset Y of a Hilbert space. For l in (0, 1), the author considers the iteration xl = lf(xl)+(1−l)Txl, where f from Y to Y is a $\phi$-contraction. Then, the author proves that (xl)l converges strongly as l goes to 0 to the unique fixed point of the $\phi$-contraction Pof, where P is the metric projection of Y onto the set FT of fixed points of T. The viscosity approximation method of the paper is obtained from the method proposed by A. Moudafi [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 241 (2000), no. 1, 46–55; MR1738332 (2000k:47085)] for mappings in Hilbert spaces, and by H. K. Xu [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 298 (2004), no. 1, 279–291; MR2086546 (2005…
Special Issue on Ciric type fixed point theorems
2015
Professor Ljubomir Ćirić was born on August 13, 1935 in Resnik, environmentof the Niš, in Serbia. Primary,secondary and university education Professor Ćirić received in Belgrade, where he completed his Mr Sci and his Dr Sci in 1969. His fields of specialization are Fixed point theory and Nonlinear analysis. He has been founder of different directions in the theory of fixed points, which and in today's time are in the full development. During the past 45 years, he has given significant contributions to these areas. We want point out that his works have been published and cited in prestigious international journals. Two of his work has been cited in the Web of Science over 560 times, each ove…
