In this paper we prove some new fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings on orbitally complete uniform spaces.

Following the definition of perturbed metric space, in this paper, some fixed point theorems are established for $ F $-perturbed mappings in complete perturbed metric spaces and justify the result by counter example. Finally, an application…

Let $S$ be a planar point set in general position, and let $\mathcal{P}(S)$ be the set of all plane straight-line paths with vertex set $S$. A flip on a path $P \in \mathcal{P}(S)$ is the operation of replacing an edge $e$ of $P$ with…

We study the fixed point theory of n-valued maps of a space X using the fixed point theory of maps between X and its configuration spaces. We give some general results to decide whether an n-valued map can be deformed to a fixed point free…

Completely positive trace-preserving maps $S$, also known as quantum channels, arise in quantum physics as a description of how the density operator $\rho$ of a system changes in a given time interval, allowing not only for unitary…

We prove that if a continuous piecewise-smooth map on $\mathbb{R}^n$ is comprised of two linear functions, has a bounded orbit, and satisfies a certain non-degeneracy condition, then it has a fixed point. The result has important…

We study the existence of fixed points for continuous maps $f$ from an $n$-ball $X$ in $\mathbb R^n$ to $\mathbb R^n$ with $n\geq 1$. We show that $f$ has a fixed point if, for some absolute retract $Y\subset\partial X$, $f(Y)\subset X$ and…

We generalize several schedule matching theorems of Baiou-Balinski (Math. Oper. Res., 27 (2002), 485) and Alkan-Gale (J. Econ. Th. 112 (2003), 289) by applying a fixed point method of Fleiner (Math. Oper. Res., 28 (2003), 103). Thanks to a…

We show that a uniformly acute triangulation of the plane is rigid under Luo's discrete conformal change, extending previous results on hexagonal triangulations. Our result is a discrete analogue of the conformal rigidity of the plane. We…

Let X and Y be compact, simply connected and locally connected subsets of R^2, and let f : X -> Y be a homeomorphism isotopic to the identity on X. Generalizing Brouwer's plane translation theorem for self-maps of the plane, we prove that f…

We explore the separability of point sets in the plane by a restricted-orientation convex hull, which is an orientation-dependent, possibly disconnected, and non-convex enclosing shape that generalizes the convex hull. Let $R$ and $B$ be…

We study the number of points in the family of plane curves defined by a trinomial \[ \mathcal{C}(\alpha,\beta)= \{(x,y)\in\mathbb{F}_q^2\,:\,\alpha x^{a_{11}}y^{a_{12}}+\beta x^{a_{21}}y^{a_{22}}=x^{a_{31}}y^{a_{32}}\} \] with fixed…

In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of a class of mappings defined on complete, (sequentially compact) cone metric spaces, without continuity conditions and depending on another function.

The fixed point index of topological fixed point theory is a well studied integer-valued algebraic invariant of a mapping which can be characterized by a small set of axioms. The coincidence index is an extension of the concept to…

We establish the first common fixed point theorem for commutative set-valued mappings. This may help to generalize common fixed point theorems in single-valued setting to those in set-valued. We also prove the existence of a fixed point in…

This paper revisits the well-studied fixed point problem from a unified viewpoint of mathematical modeling and canonical duality theory, i.e. the original problem is first reformulated as a nonconvex optimization problem, its well-posedness…

We prove three theorems giving fixed points for orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the plane following forgotten results of Brouwer.

For a dynamic system consisting of $n$ point vortices in an ideal plane fluid with a steady, incompressible and} irrotational background flow, a more physically significant definition of a fixed equilibrium configuration is suggested. Under…

We study the fixed point problem for a system of multivariate operators that are coordinate-wise monotone (i.e., nondecreasing or nonincreasing in each of the variables, independently), in the setting of quasi-ordered sets. We show that…

The Four Vertex Theorem, one of the earliest results in global differential geometry, says that a simple closed curve in the plane, other than a circle, must have at least four "vertices", that is, at least four points where the curvature…
