In this paper we define contractive and nonexpansive properties for adapted stochastic processes $X_1, X_2, \ldots $ which can be used to deduce limiting properties. In general, nonexpansive processes possess finite limits while contractive…
In 2007 H. Long-Guang and Z. Xian, [H. Long-Guang and Z. Xian, Cone Metric Spaces and Fixed Point Theorems of Contractive Mapping, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 322(2007), 1468-1476], generalized the concept of a metric space, by introducing cone…
Any affine map on the (n+1)-dimensional Euclidean space gives rise to a natural map on the n-dimensional sphere whose dynamical aspects are not so well-studied in the literature. We explore the dynamical aspects of these maps by…
We present a connected metric space that does not contain any nontrivial separable connected subspace. Our space is a dense connected graph of a function from the real line satisfying Cauchy's equation.
Some concepts, such as non-compactness measure and condensing operators, defined on metric spaces are extended to uniform spaces. Such extensions allow us to locate, in the context of uniform spaces, some classical results existing in…
We study countably piecewise continuous, piecewise monotone interval maps. We establish a necessary and sufficient criterion for the existence of a nondecreasing semiconjugacy to a map of constant slope in terms of the existence of an…
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.
This paper examines various kinds of subspaces of the non-commutative spaces that are modelled on quasi-projective commutative schemes. It is shown how intersections and unions of weakly closed subspaces, closed subspaces, their weakly open…
The aim of this note is threefold: first, to present a few relevant facts about the way in which the technique of enriching contractive mappings was introduced; secondly, to expose the main contributions in the area of enriched mappings…
The notion of a firmly nonexpansive mapping is central in fixed point theory because of attractive convergence properties for iterates and the correspondence with maximal monotone operators due to Minty. In this paper, we systematically…
It is shown that a surjective monotone map $X\to Y$ between finite $T_0$-spaces induces a surjective map on homology. As such a map turns out to be a sequence of edge contractions in the Hasse diagram of $X$, followed by a homeomorphism,…
Flip graphs of non-crossing configurations in the plane are widely studied objects, e.g., flip graph of triangulations, spanning trees, Hamiltonian cycles, and perfect matchings. Typically, it is an easy exercise to prove connectivity of a…
In a spherically complete ultrametric space, a strictly contracting mapping has a fixed point. We indicate in this paper how this fixed point can either be reached or approximated.
In this research paper, weighted / unweighted, directed / undirected graphs are associated with interesting Discrete Time Markov Chains (DTMCs) as well as Continuous Time Markov Chains (CTMCs). The equilibrium / transient behaviour of such…
We study dynamics of continuous maps on compact metrizable spaces containing a free interval (i.e., an open subset homeomorphic to an open interval). A special attention is paid to relationships between topological transitivity, weak and…
In this study we provide several significant generalisations of Banach contraction principle where the Lipschitz constant is substituted by real-valued control function that is a comparison function. We study non-stationary variants of…
Stochastic dynamical systems consisting of non-invertible continuous maps on an interval are studied. It is proved that if they satisfy the recently introduced so-called $\mu$-injectivity and some mild assumptions, then proximality,…
In this paper, we study dynamics of maps on quasi-graphs characterizing their invariant measures. In particular, we prove that every invariant measure of quasi-graph map with zero topological entropy has discrete spectrum. Additionally, we…
We introduce a new class of asymptotic contractions that employs two quasi-metrics defined directly in terms of the underlying mapping. The contraction condition compares these two quantities via a sequence of bounding functions that…
The present article is an exposition of a theory of discrete convex functions on certain graph structures, developed by the author in recent years. This theory is a spin-off of discrete convex analysis by Murota, and is motivated by…
