Our results generalize and extend various comparable results in the existing literature.

We introduce a large class of contractive mappings, called Suzuki–Berinde type contraction. We show that any Suzuki–Berinde type contraction has a fixed point and characterizes the completeness of the underlying normed space. A fixed point theorem for multivalued mappings is also obtained. These results unify, generalize and complement various known comparable results in the literature.

The aim of this paper is first to introduce generalizations of quantum integrals and derivatives which are called (ϕ-h)integrals and (ϕ-h)derivatives, respectively. Then we investigate some implicit integral inequalities for (ϕ-h)integrals. Different classes of convex functions are used to prove these inequalities for symmetric functions. Under certain assumptions, Hermite–Hadamard-type inequalities for q-integrals are deduced. The results presented herein are applicable to convex, m-convex, and ħ-convex functions defined on the non-negative part of the real line.

We introduce a new algorithm to approximate a solution of split variational inclusion problems of multivalued maximal monotone operators in uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces under the Bregman distance. A strong convergence theorem for the above problem is established and several important known results are deduced as corollaries to it. As application, we solve a split minimization problem and provide a numerical example to support better findings of our result.

The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of polytopic fuzzy sets as an extension of spherical fuzzy sets, picture fuzzy sets, and q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets. We define some basic operations and aggregation operators on polytopic fuzzy sets. Based on these operators, we present three new methods to deal with the multiple-attribute decision-making problem which cannot be solved with the help of existing aggregation operators. Finally, a numerical example is given to illustrate the validity of the proposed approach.

The objective of this paper is to introduce the notion of a D∗-cone metric space and then to establish the existence of common fixed points of mappings satisfying Perov type contraction conditions in the framework of such spaces.

Our result complement, extend and generalize a number of comparable results in the existing literature.

This paper aims to study the impacts of COVID-19 and dengue vaccinations on the dynamics of zika transmission by developing a vaccination model with the incorporation of saturated incidence rates. Analyses are performed to assess the qualitative behavior of the model. Carrying out bifurcation analysis of the model, it was concluded that co-infection, super-infection and also re-infection with same or different disease could trigger backward bifurcation. Employing well-formulated Lyapunov functions, the model’s equilibria are shown to be globally stable for a certain scenario. Moreover, global sensitivity analyses are performed out to assess the impact of dominant parameters that drive each disease’s dynamics and its co-infection. Model fitting is performed on the actual data for the state of Amazonas in Brazil. The fittings reveal that our model behaves very well with the data. The significance of saturated incidence rates on the dynamics of three diseases is also highlighted. Based on the numerical investigation of the model, it was observed that increased vaccination efforts against COVID-19 and dengue could positively impact zika dynamics and the co-spread of triple infections.

We prove strong convergence of the sequence generated by implicit viscosity approximation method involving a multivalued nonexpansive mapping in framework of CAT(0) space. Under certain appropriate conditions on parameters, we show that such a sequence converges strongly to a fixed point of the mapping which solves a variational inequality. We also present some convergence results for the implicit viscosity approximation method in complete ℝ-trees without the endpoint condition.

We further investigate the Ulam–Hyers stability of fixed point problem of operators considered herein in the framework of b-metric spaces.

The aim of this paper is to introduce the new concept of ordered complete dislocated quasi G-metric space. The notion of dominated mappings is applied to approximate the unique solution of non linear functional equations.

Our results improve several well known classical results.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce Picard–Krasnoselskii hybrid iterative process which is a hybrid of Picard and Krasnoselskii iterative processes. In case of contractive nonlinear operators, our iterative scheme converges faster than all of Picard, Mann, Krasnoselskii and Ishikawa iterative processes in the sense of Berinde (Iterative approximation of fixed points, 2002). We support our analytic proofs with a numerical example. Using this iterative process, we also find the solution of delay differential equation.

In this paper, we introduce new concepts of α-type F-contractive mappings which are essentially weaker than the class of F-contractive mappings given in [21, 22] and different from α-GF-contractions given in [8]. Then, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of fixed point are established for these new types of contractive mappings, in the setting of complete metric space. Consequently, the obtained results encompass various generalizations of the Banach contraction principle. Moreover, some examples and an application to nonlinear fractional differential equation are given to illustrate the usability of the new theory.

No single gastrojejunostomy anastomosis technique (GJA) in Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (LRYGB) is currently preferred over another. Bendewald et al. confirmed that there was no difference in anastomotic stricture rates when comparing hand-sewn (HS), linear-stapled (LS), and circular-stapled (CS) GJA techniques. We present and analyze our own institutional data to readdress stricture rates. From January 2010 to January 2013, 860 consecutive patients underwent LRYGB using HS, LS, and CS anastomotic techniques at a single institution. All patients in this study were followed to see if they had a complication of a stricture within this time period. Hospital records were retrospectively reviewed and those who had stricture complications shown on endoscopy requiring intervention were compiled and compared using univariate analysis. Patient demographics did not differ substantially between the three groups. The most common technique employed was LS (n= 429, 49.8 %), followed by CS (n= 254, 29.5 %) and HS (n= 177, 20.6 %), respectively. Using multivariate analysis, there was a significant difference in the rate of strictures between the anastomotic techniques (LS 4.42 %, HS 2.82 %, CS 1.18 %, p= 0.0163). Our data show that the discussion of which anastomotic technique is superior should be reopened given the statistically significant low rate of strictures in patients who underwent LRYGB with a CS anastomosis in comparison with LS and HS anastomoses.

As an application, periodic point property of common fixed point problem for two rational type contractive mappings involved therein is established.

In this paper, we introduce common approximate $$f$$-endpoint property for multi-valued mapping $$T:X\rightarrow P_{cl,bd}(X)$$to obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of a unique common $$f$$-endpoint for such multi-valued mappings.

We also provide an example to support our results.

This paper proposes a generalized modified iterative scheme where the composed self-mapping driving can have distinct step-dependent composition order in both the auxiliary iterative equation and the main one integrated in Ishikawa’s scheme. The self-mapping which drives the iterative scheme is a perturbed 2-cyclic one on the union of two sequences of nonempty closed subsets Ann=0∞ and Bnn=0∞ of a uniformly convex Banach space. As a consequence of the perturbation, such a driving self-mapping can lose its cyclic contractive nature along the transients of the iterative process. These sequences can be, in general, distinct of the initial subsets due to either computational or unmodeled perturbations associated with the self-mapping calculations through the iterative process. It is assumed that the set-theoretic limits below of the sequences of sets Ann=0∞ and Bnn=0∞ exist. The existence of fixed best proximity points in the set-theoretic limits of the sequences to which the iterated sequences converge is investigated in the case that the cyclic disposal exists under the asymptotic removal of the perturbations or under its convergence of the driving self-mapping to a limit contractive cyclic structure.

We present the notion of set valued (α,η)-(θ,ϝ) rational contraction mappings and then some common fixed point results of such mappings in the setting of metric spaces are established. Some examples are presented to support the concepts introduced and the results proved in this paper. These results unify, extend, and refine various results in the literature. Some fixed point results for both single and multivalued (θ,ϝ) rational contractions are also obtained in the framework of a space endowed with partial order. As application, we establish the existence of solutions of nonlinear elastic beam equations and first-order periodic problem.
