Meir-Keeler Type Contractions for Tripled Fixed Points
2012
Abstract In 2011, Berinde and Borcut [6] introduced the notion of tripled fixed point in partially ordered metric spaces. In our paper, we give some new tripled fixed point theorems by using a generalization of Meir-Keeler contraction.
Metric or partial metric spaces endowed with a finite number of graphs: a tool to obtain fixed point results
2014
Abstract We give some fixed point theorems in the setting of metric spaces or partial metric spaces endowed with a finite number of graphs. The presented results extend and improve several well-known results in the literature. In particular, we discuss a Caristi type fixed point theorem in the setting of partial metric spaces, which has a close relation to Ekelandʼs principle.
Brauer characters and coprime action
2016
Abstract It is an open problem to show that under a coprime action, the number of invariant Brauer characters of a finite group is the number of the Brauer characters of the fixed point subgroup. We prove that this is true if the non-abelian simple groups satisfy a stronger condition.
Partial Hausdorff metric and Nadler’s fixed point theorem on partial metric spaces
2012
Abstract In this paper, we introduce the concept of a partial Hausdorff metric. We initiate study of fixed point theory for multi-valued mappings on partial metric space using the partial Hausdorff metric and prove an analogous to the well-known Nadlerʼs fixed point theorem. Moreover, we give a homotopy result as application of our main result.
Semi-compatible and reciprocally continuous maps in weak non-Archimedean Menger PM-spaces
2012
In this paper, we introduce semi-compatible maps and reciprocally continuous maps in weak non-Archimedean PM-spaces and establish a common fixed point theorem for such maps. Moreover, we show that, in the context of reciprocal continuity, the notions of compatibility and semi-compatibility of maps become equivalent. Our result generalizes several fixed point theorems in the sense that all maps involved in the theorem can be discontinuous even at the common fixed point.
The fixed point property for mappings admitting a center
2007
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.
Fixed points and completeness on partial metric spaces
2015
Recently, Suzuki [T. Suzuki, A generalized Banach contraction principle that characterizes metric completeness, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 136 (2008), 1861-1869] proved a fixed point theorem that is a generalization of the Banach contraction principle and characterizes the metric completeness. Paesano and Vetro [D. Paesano and P. Vetro, Suzuki's type characterizations of completeness for partial metric spaces and fixed points for partially ordered metric spaces, Topology Appl., 159 (2012), 911-920] proved an analogous fixed point result for a selfmapping on a partial metric space that characterizes the partial metric 0-completeness. In this paper we prove a fixed point result for a new class of…
Berinde mappings in orbitally complete metric spaces
2011
Abstract We give a fixed point theorem for a self-mapping satisfying a general contractive condition of integral type in orbitally complete metric spaces. Some examples are given to illustrate our obtained result.
Weibull Model for Dynamic Pricing in e-Business
2011
As is the case with traditional markets, the sellers on the Internet do not usually know the demand functions of their customers. However, in such a digital environment, a seller can experiment different prices in order to maximize his profits. In this paper, we develop a dynamic pricing model to solve the pricing problem of a Web-store, where seller sets a fixed price and buyer either accepts or doesn’t buy. Frequent price changes occur due to current market conditions. The model is based on the two-parameter Weibull distribution (indexed by scale and shape parameters), which is used as the underlying distribution of a random variable X representing the amount of revenue received in the sp…
Common fixed points of generalized contractions on partial metric spaces and an application
2011
Abstract In this paper, common fixed point theorems for four mappings satisfying a generalized nonlinear contraction type condition on partial metric spaces are proved. Presented theorems extend the very recent results of I. Altun, F. Sola and H. Simsek [Generalized contractions on partial metric spaces, Topology and its applications 157 (18) (2010) 2778–2785]. As application, some homotopy results for operators on a set endowed with a partial metric are given.
