In this paper, we introduce the notion of partially ordered {\epsilon}-chainable metric spaces and we derive new coupled fixed point theorems for uniformly locally contractive mappings on such spaces.
For a transitive countably piecewise monotone Markov interval map we consider the question whether there exists a conjugate map of constant slope. The answer varies depending on whether the map is continuous or only piecewise continuous,…

We develop a unified framework for nonlinear subdivision schemes on complete metric spaces (CMS). We begin with CMS preliminaries and formalize refinement in CMS, retaining key structural properties, such as locality. We prove a convergence…
Given a compact metric space $X$ and an upper semicontinuous function $F\colon X \to 2^X$, we explore the dynamic system $(X,F)$. In this study, we introduce new concepts, demonstrate various results, and provide numerous examples. In…
Graphs are used in almost every scientific discipline to express relations among a set of objects. Algorithms that compare graphs, and output a closeness score, or a correspondence among their nodes, are thus extremely important. Despite…
The aim of this paper is to present some fixed point theorems for generalized contractions by altering distance functions in a complete cone metric spaces endowed with a partial order. We also generalize fixed point theorems of J. Harjani,…
The displacement-actuated continuum robot as an abstraction has been shown as a key abstraction to significantly simplify and improve approaches due to its relation to the Clarke transform. To highlight further potentials, we revisit and…

Consider the self-map F of the space of real-valued test functions on the line which takes a test function f to the test function sending a real number x to f(f(x))-f(0). We show that F is discontinuous, although its restriction to the…
Startpoints (resp. endpoints) can be defined as "oriented fixed points". They arise naturally in the study of fixed for multi-valued maps defined on quasi-metric spaces. In this article, we give a new result in the startpoint theory for…
The existence and uniqueness of the common fixed point for generalized contractive mappings in order partial metric spaces is investigated. The existence of nonnegative solution of implicit nonlinear integral equations is also studied. Some…
We introduce characteristic functions for certain contractive liftings of row contractions. These are multi-analytic operators which classify the liftings up to unitary equivalence and provide a kind of functional model. The most important…
The theory of graphons has proven to be a powerful tool in many areas of graph theory. In this paper, we introduce several foundational aspects of the theory of digraphons -- asymmetric two-variable functions that arise as limits of…
On finite metric graphs we consider Laplace operators, subject to various classes of non-self-adjoint boundary conditions imposed at graph vertices. We investigate spectral properties, existence of a Riesz basis of projectors and similarity…
Iterations of odd piecewise continuous maps with two discontinuities, i.e., symmetric discontinuous bimodal maps, are studied. Symbolic dynamics is introduced. The tools of kneading theory are used to study the homology of the discrete…
In this paper we study differentiability properties of the map $T\mapsto\phi(T)$, where $\phi$ is a given function in the disk-algebra and $T$ ranges over the set of contractions on Hilbert space. We obtain sharp conditions (in terms of…
In this paper, we introduce the concept of monotone Gregus-\'Ciri\'c-contraction mappings in weighted digraphs. Then we establish a fixed point theorem for monotone Gregus-\'Ciri\'c-contraction mappings defined in convex weighted digraphs.
We propose a precise definition of a continuous time dynamical system made up of interacting open subsystems. The interconnections of subsystems are coded by directed graphs. We prove that the appropriate maps of graphs called graph…
Using a notation of corner between edges when graph has a fixed rotation, i.e. cyclical order of edges around vertices, we define combinatorial objects - combinatorial maps as pairs of permutations, one for vertices and one for faces.…
