A well-known result of W. Ray asserts that if $C$ is an unbounded convex subset of a Hilbert space, then there is a nonexpansive mapping $T$: $C\to C$ that has no fixed point. In this paper we establish some common fixed point properties…
Tverberg's theorem states that any set of $t(r,d)=(r-1)(d+1)+1$ points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ can be partitioned into $r$ subsets whose convex hulls have non-empty $r$-fold intersection. Moreover, generic collections of fewer points cannot be so…
A point x is a (bow) tie-point of a space X if X setminus {x} can be partitioned into (relatively) clopen sets each with x in its closure. Tie-points have appeared in the construction of non-trivial autohomeomorphisms of betaN setminus N…
In this note, we deal with the fixed points of an endofunctor $F: \mathcal{C} \longrightarrow \mathcal{C}$. Three classes of fixed points are introduced, and the case when $F$ is an endomorphism of a category with pretopology is…
We introduce and study a new class of nonlinear monotone operators acting in normal cones of real Banach spaces and possessing the property of strong concavity. We establish new constructive principles for the existence of nonzero fixed…
This paper concerns piecewise-smooth maps on $\mathbb{R}^d$ that are continuous but not differentiable on switching manifolds (where the functional form of the map changes). The stability of fixed points on switching manifolds is…
We use $KKM$ theorem to prove the existence of a new fixed point theorem for non-expansive mapping:Let M be a bounded closed convex subset of Hilbert space H, and $A:M\rightarrow M$ be a non-expansive mapping, then exists a fixed point of A…
We prove the existence of a fixed point for mappings which satisfy some asymptotic nonexpansive conditions in Banach spaces which are either nearly uniformly convex or they satisfy that asymptotic centers of bounded sequences are compact.…
Central configurations play an important role in the dynamics of the $n$-body problem: they occur as relative equilibria and as asymptotic configurations in colliding trajectories. We illustrate how they can be found as projective fixed…
Using unitary equivalence of magnetic translation operators, explicit upper and lower convex bounds on the partition function of the Hofstadter model are given for any rational ``flux" and any value of Bloch momenta. These bounds (i)…
Given a Hilbert space and a finite family of operators defined on the space, the common fixed point problem (CFPP) is to find a point in the intersection of the fixed point sets of these operators. Instances of the problem have numerous…
In this article we discuss a possibility to implement a well-known scheme of proof for contraction mapping theorems in a situation, when convergence, families of Cauchy sequences, and contractiveness of mappings are defined axiomatically.…
We study clustering through the partitions it induces on a finite labeled set $[n]=\{1,\dots,n\}$, and analyze how these partitions change under perturbations of a point configuration $X=(x_1,\dots,x_n)\in(\mathbb{R}^d)^n$. We equip the…
It has recently been observed that, in contrast to the classical case, holomorphic structures on line bundles over the quantum projective line are not uniquely determined by degree. We formulate a fixed-point-theoretic framework for the…
In this paper, we first introduce and study the notion of random Chebyshev centers. Further, based on the recently developed theory of stable sets, we introduce the notion of random complete normal structure so that we can prove the two…
Bounds on the log partition function are important in a variety of contexts, including approximate inference, model fitting, decision theory, and large deviations analysis. We introduce a new class of upper bounds on the log partition…
Recently, Deutsch and Elizalde studied the largest and the smallest fixed points of permutations. Motivated by their work, we consider the analogous problems in set partitions. Let $A_{n,k}$ denote the number of partitions of $\{1,2,\dots,…
We consider bounded 2-metric spaces satisfying an additional axiom, and show that a contractive mapping has either a fixed point or a fixed line.
In the present article we prove a fixed point theorem for reflections of compact convex sets and give a new characterization of state space of JB-algebras among compact convex sets. Namely they are exactly those compact convex sets which…
We establish fixed-point theorems for Meir-Keeler-type contractions in b-metric spaces. While Lu et al. demonstrated via an explicit counterexample that classical Meir-Keeler contractions may fail to admit fixed points in this setting, we…
