Common fixed point theorems of integral type for OWC mappings under relaxed condition
2017
In this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for a pair of occasionally weakly compatible (owc) self mappings satisfying a mixed contractive condition of integral type without using the triangle inequality. We prove also analogous results for two pairs of owc self mappings by assuming symmetry only on the set of points of coincidence. These results unify, extend and complement many results existing in the recent literature. Finally, we give an application of our results in dynamic programming.
Some common fixed point theorems for owc mappings with applications
2013
Starting from the setting of fuzzy metric spaces, we give some new common fixed point theorems for a pair of occasionally weakly compatible (owc) self-mappings satisfying a mixed contractive condition. In proving our results, we do not need to use the triangular inequality. Also we obtain analogous results for two pairs of owc self-mappings by assuming symmetry only on the set of points of coincidence. These results unify, extend and complement some results existing in the literature. Finally, we give some applications of our results.
Nonlinear quasi-contractions of Ciric type
2012
In this paper we obtain points of coincidence and common fixed points for two self mappings satisfying a nonlinear contractive condition of Ciric type. As application, using the scalarization method of Du, we deduce a result of common fixed point in cone metric spaces.
Optimal rates of convergence for persistence diagrams in Topological Data Analysis
2013
Computational topology has recently known an important development toward data analysis, giving birth to the field of topological data analysis. Topological persistence, or persistent homology, appears as a fundamental tool in this field. In this paper, we study topological persistence in general metric spaces, with a statistical approach. We show that the use of persistent homology can be naturally considered in general statistical frameworks and persistence diagrams can be used as statistics with interesting convergence properties. Some numerical experiments are performed in various contexts to illustrate our results.
$varphi$-pairs and common fixed points in cone metric spaces
2008
In this paper we introduce a contractive condition, called $\varphi \textrm{-}pair$, for two mappings in the framework of cone metric spaces and we prove a theorem which assures existence and uniqueness of common fixed points for $\varphi \textrm{-}pairs$. Also we obtain a result on points of coincidence. These results extend and generalize well-known comparable results in the literature.
Common fixed points in cone metric spaces for CJM-pairs
2011
Abstract In this paper we introduce some contractive conditions of Meir–Keeler type for two mappings, called f - M K -pair mappings and f - C J M -pair (from Ciric, Jachymski, and Matkowski) mappings, in the framework of regular cone metric spaces and we prove theorems which guarantee the existence and uniqueness of common fixed points. We give also a fixed point result for a multivalued mapping that satisfies a contractive condition of Meir–Keeler type. These results extend and generalize some recent results from the literature. To conclude the paper, we extend our main result to non-regular cone metric spaces by using the scalarization method of Du.
Invariant approximation results in cone metric spaces
2011
Some sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed point of mappings satisfying generalized weak contractive conditions is obtained. A fixed point theorem for nonexpansive mappings is also obtained. As an application, some invariant approximation results are derived in cone metric spaces.
Fixed Point Theorems in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces and Existence Results for Integral Equations
2012
We derive some new coincidence and common fixed point theorems for self-mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition in partially ordered metric spaces. As applications of the presented theorems, we obtain fixed point results for generalized contraction of integral type and we prove an existence theorem for solutions of a system of integral equations.

Information and hierarchical structure in financial markets
1999
I investigate the information content present in the time series of stock prices of a portfolio of stocks traded in a financial market. By investigating the correlation coefficient between pairs of stocks I provide a working definition of a generalized distance between the stocks of the portfolio. This generalized distance is used to obtain an ultrametric distance matrix between the stocks. The ultrametric structure of the portfolio investigated has associated a taxonomy which is meaningful from an economic point of view.
