TL;DR: The hybrid steepest descent (HST) method as mentioned in this paper is a simple algorithmic solution to the variational inequality problem defined over the nonempty intersection of multiple fixed point sets of nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space.
Abstract: This paper presents a simple algorithmic solution to the variational inequality problem defined over the nonempty intersection of multiple fixed point sets of nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space. The algorithmic solution is named the hybrid steepest descent method, because it is constructed by blending important ideas in the steepest descent method and in the fixed point theory, and generates a sequence converging strongly to the solution of the problem. The remarkable applicability of this method to the convexly constrained generalized pseudoinverse problem as well as to the convex feasibility problem is demonstrated by constructing nonexpansive mappings whose fixed point sets are the feasible sets of the problems.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce the concept of fixed point free mapping and define a set of non-linear non-expansive Mappings for metric fixed point theory, which they call fixed points of holomorphic mapping.

TL;DR: In this article, the (n − 1)-norm can be derived from the n-norm in such a way that the convergence and completeness in the derived norm is equivalent to those in the n − 1 norm.
Abstract: Given an n-normed space with n ≥ 2, we offer a simple way to derive an (n−1)- norm from the n-norm and realize that any n-normed space is an (n − 1)-normed space. We also show that, in certain cases, the (n − 1)-norm can be derived from the n-norm in such a way that the convergence and completeness in the n-norm is equivalent to those in the derived (n − 1)-norm. Using this fact, we prove a fixed point theorem for some n-Banach spaces.

Abstract: We study the space lp, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, and its natural n-norm, which can viewed as a generalisation of its usual norm. Using a derived norm equivalent to its usual norm, we show that lp is complete with respect to its natural n-norm. In addition, we also prove a fixed point theorem for lp as an n-normed space.
TL;DR: The notion of hyperconvexity is due to Aronszajn and Panitchpakdi [1] as mentioned in this paper who proved that any metric space is a non-expansive retract of any space in which it is isometrically embedded.
Abstract: The notion of hyperconvexity is due to Aronszajn and Panitchpakdi [1] (1956) who proved that a hyperconvex space is a nonexpansive absolute retract, i.e. it is a non-expansive retract of any metric space in which it is isometrically embedded. The corresponding linear theory is well developed and associated with the names of Gleason, Goodner, Kelley and Nachbin (see for instance [19, 29, 42, 46]). The nonlinear theory is still developing. The recent interest into these spaces goes back to the results of Sine [54] and Soardi [57] who proved independently that fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings holds in bounded hyperconvex spaces. Since then many interesting results have been shown to hold in hyperconvex spaces.
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of positive solutions of boundary value problems on the half-line for differential equations of second order was studied and the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem on cone compression and expansion was used.
TL;DR: In this article, the Fan-Browder fixed point theorem was used to establish the continuity property for multimaps and generalized Berge's theorem for multi-paths, and then they applied these results, and the Fan and Browder fixed-point theorem to the existence theorems of quasi-equilibrium problems and generalized quasi-qualities for multimap problems.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the discrete focal boundary value problem and proved the existence of three positive solutions under various assumptions on f and the integers a, t 2, and b. To prove their results, they applied a generalization of the Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem.
Abstract: We are concerned with the discrete focal boundary value problem Δ 3 x ( t − k ) = f ( x ( t )), x ( a ) = Δ x ( t 2 ) = Δ 2 x ( b + 1 = 0. Under various assumptions on f and the integers a , t 2 , and b we prove the existence of three positive solutions of this boundary value problem. To prove our results, we will apply a generalization of the Leggett-Williams fixed-point theorem.
TL;DR: In this article, the generalized Banach contraction conjecture (GBCC) was proved for arbitrary J in the case when T is assumed to be continuous, and also derived a result which enables us to prove the GBCC when J = 3 without the assumption of continuity.
Abstract: One of the most fundamental fixed-point theorems is Banach's Contraction Principle, of which the following conjecture is a generalization. Generalized Banach Contraction Conjecture (GBCC). Let T be a self-map of a complete metric space (X, d), and let 0 < M < 1. Let J be a positive integer. Assume that for each pair x, y ∈ X, min{d(T k x,T k y): 1 ≤ k ≤ J} ≤ M d(x, y). Then T has a fixed point. Unlike Banach's original theorem (the case J = 1), the above hypothesis does not compel T to be continuous. In this paper we use Ramsey's Theorem from combinatorics to establish the GBCC for arbitrary J in the case when T is assumed to be continuous, and also derive a result which enables us to prove the GBCC when J = 3 without the assumption of continuity; it is known that the case J = 3 includes instances where T is not continuous.
TL;DR: In this article, Ahmed and Imdad and Ahmed and Khan have studied the fixed points of non-self hybrid contractions on metrically convex spaces and showed that most of their main theorems contain errors and admit counterexamples.
TL;DR: In this paper, the existence of 8xed points for a more general class of mappings: uniformly Lipschitzian mappings was studied and the main tool in their approach is the coeAcient of normal structure Ñ(L ).
Abstract: The theory of modular spaces was initiated by Nakano [14] in 1950 in connection with the theory of order spaces and rede8ned and generalized by Musielak and Orlicz [13] in 1959. De8ning a norm, particular Banach spaces of functions can be considered. Metric 8xed theory for these Banach spaces of functions has been widely studied (see, for instance, [15]). Another direction is based on considering an abstractly given functional which controls the growth of the functions. Even though a metric is not de8ned, many problems in 8xed point theory for nonexpansive mappings can be reformulated in modular spaces (see, for instance, [8] and references therein). In this paper, we study the existence of 8xed points for a more general class of mappings: uniformly Lipschitzian mappings. Fixed point theorems for this class of mappings in Banach spaces have been studied in [2,3] and in metric spaces in [11,12] (for further information about this subject, see [1, Chapter VIII] and references therein). The main tool in our approach is the coeAcient of normal structure Ñ(L ). We prove that under suitable conditions a k-uniformly Lipschitzian mapping has a 8xed point if k ¡ ( Ñ(L ))−1=2. In the last section we show a class of modular spaces where Ñ(L )¡ 1 and so, the above theorem can be successfully applied.

TL;DR: In this paper, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of stable periodic response for a type of catenary anchor leg mooring system (CALM) were derived using the Schauder's fixed-point theorem.
Abstract: It has been shown that there exists the necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of stable periodic response for a type of catenary anchor leg mooring system, (CALM). The mathematical model shows that the governing equation of motion for the system is a non-linear parametric second-order ordinary differential equation. The above-mentioned conditions have been obtained using the Schauder's fixed-point theorem. The validity of the assumptions has been fully demonstrated by analyzing a few examples.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a continuous map or a continuous flow with a certain recurrence relation must have a fixed point in a compact set W with the property that the forward orbit of every point in W intersects W, and if the omega limit set of W is nonempty and uniformly bounded, then there is a fixed node in W.
Abstract: We show that a continuous map or a continuous flow on $\R^{n}$ with a certain recurrence relation must have a fixed point. Specifically, if there is a compact set W with the property that the forward orbit of every point in $\R^{n}$ intersects W then there is a fixed point in W. Consequently, if the omega limit set of every point is nonempty and uniformly bounded then there is a fixed point.
