In the present paper, under certain assumptions, we establish the convergence of iterates for self-mappings of complete metric spaces with graphs which are of a contractive type. The class of mappings considered in the paper contains the so-called cyclical mappings introduced by W. A. Kirk, P. S. Srinivasan and P. Veeramani in 2003 and the class of monotone nonexpansive operators. Our results hold in the case of a symmetric graph. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper deals with the research of solutions of bounded variation (BV) to evolution inclusion coupled with a time and state dependent maximal monotone operator. Different problems are studied: existence of solutions, unicity of the solution, existence of periodic and bounded variation right continuous (BVRC) solutions. Second-order evolution inclusions and fractional (Caputo and Riemann–Liouville) differential inclusions are also considered. A result of the Skorohod problem driven by a time- and space-dependent operator under rough signal and a Volterra integral perturbation in the BRC setting is given. The paper finishes with some results for fractional differential inclusions under rough signals and Young integrals. Many of the given results are novel. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the advancements made in understanding Iterative Fixed-Point Schemes, which builds upon the concept of digital contraction mappings. Additionally, we introduce the notion of an Iterative Fixed-Point Schemes in digital metric spaces. In this study, we extend the idea of Iteration process Mann, Ishikawa, Agarwal, and Thakur based on the ϝ-Stable Iterative Scheme in digital metric space. We also design some fractal images, which frame the compression of Fixed-Point Iterative Schemes and contractive mappings. Furthermore, we present a concrete example that exemplifies the motivation behind our investigations. Moreover, we provide an application of the proposed Fractal image and Sierpinski triangle that compress the works by storing images as a collection of digital contractions, which addresses the issue of storing images with less storage memory in this paper.

The rationale of this work is to introduce the notion of graphical symmetric spaces and some fixed-point results are proved for H - (ϑ , φ) -contractions in this setting. The idea of graphical symmetric spaces generalizes various spaces equipped with a function which characterizes the distance between two points of the space. Some topological properties of graphical symmetric spaces are discussed. Some fixed-point results for the mappings defined on graphical symmetric spaces are proved. The fixed-point results of this paper generalize and extend several fixed-point results in this new setting. The main results of this paper are applied to obtain the positive solutions of fractional periodic boundary value problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, the fixed-point theorem for fuzzy contractive mappings has been investigated within the framework of intuitionistic fuzzy metric-like spaces. This interesting topic was explored through the utilization of G-Cauchy sequences as defined by Grabiec. The aim of this study is to enhance the aforementioned results in a few aspects. Initially, the proof of the fixed-point theorem is simplified and condensed, allowing for potential generalization to papers focusing on similar fixed-point analyses. Furthermore, instead of G-Cauchy sequences, the classical Cauchy sequences proposed by George and Veeramani are examined, incorporating an additional condition on the fuzzy metric. Within this context, a solution to an old unresolved question posed by Gregory and Sapena is provided. The findings are reinforced by relevant examples. Finally, the introduced fuzzy metrics are applied to the field of image processing. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the 1970s and 1980s, significant contributions have been made by Weiss, Butnariu, Heilpern, Chitra, Subrahmanyam, and others, extending fixed-point theorems to fuzzy mappings and topological spaces. This paper provides two generalizations of two important fixed-point theorems, one provided by Butnariu and the other provided by Chitra. The first generalization ensures that, under certain conditions, an acyclic fuzzy mapping has a fixed point. The second result ensures the existence of a point in the intersection of two or more fuzzy mappings considering contractible finite dimensional ANR spaces, which is a generalization of the statement provided by Chitra.

Let C denote a convex subset within the vector space p (·) , and let T represent a mapping from C onto itself. Assume α = (α 1 , ⋯ , α n) is a multi-index in [ 0 , 1 ] n such that ∑ i = 1 n α i = 1 , where α 1 > 0 and α n > 0 . We define T α : C → C as T α = ∑ i = 1 n α i T i , known as the mean average of the mapping T. While every fixed point of T remains fixed for T α , the reverse is not always true. This paper examines necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed points for T, relating them to the existence of fixed points for T α and the behavior of T-orbits of points in T's domain. The primary approach involves a detailed analysis of recurrent sequences in R. Our focus then shifts to variable exponent modular vector spaces p (·) , where we explore the essential conditions that guarantee the existence of fixed points for these mappings. This investigation marks the first instance of such results in this framework. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the present paper, we obtain three results on the existence of a fixed point for nonexpansive mappings. Two of them are generalizations of the result for F-contraction, while third one is a generalization of a recent result for set-valued contractions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to study the use of Lambert W functions in the analysis of nonlinear dynamics and bifurcations of a new two-dimensional γ -Ricker population model. Through the use of such transcendental functions, it is possible to study the fixed points and the respective eigenvalues of this exponential diffeomorphism as analytical expressions. Consequently, the maximum number of fixed points is proved, depending on whether the Allee effect parameter γ is even or odd. In addition, the analysis of the bifurcation structure of this γ -Ricker diffeomorphism, also taking into account the parity of the Allee effect parameter, demonstrates the results established using the Lambert W functions. Numerical studies are included to illustrate the theoretical results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims to give an extended class of contractive mappings combining types of Suzuki contractions α-admissible mapping and Wardowski F-contractions in b-metric-like spaces. Our results cover and generalize many of the recent advanced results on the existence and uniqueness of fixed points and fulfill the Suzuki-type nonlinear hybrid contractions on various generalized metrics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In our joint work with Dan Butnariu (2006) we established the stability of the convergence of iterates of a nonexpansive mapping on a complete metric space in the presence of summable computational errors. In a recent paper of ours, we extended this result to inexact iterates of nonexpansive mappings on complete metric spaces with graphs under a certain assumption on the iterates. In the present paper we obtain an analogous result by removing that assumption on the iterates and replacing it with an additional assumption on the graph. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper discusses some properties of complex-valued fuzzy metric spaces and introduces the α -admissible mappings in the setting of complex-valued fuzzy metric spaces. We establish fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying symmetric contractive conditions with control functions. The results of this paper generalize, extend, and improve several results from metric, fuzzy metric, and complex-valued fuzzy metric spaces. Several examples are presented that verify and illustrate the new concepts, claims, and results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper combines the concept of an arbitrary binary connection with the widely recognized principle of θ -contraction to investigate the innovative features of vector-valued metric spaces. This methodology demonstrates the existence of fixed points for both single- and multi-valued mappings within complete vector-valued metric spaces. Through the utilization of binary relations and θ -contraction, this study advances and refines the Perov-type fixed-point results in the literature. Furthermore, this article furnishes examples to substantiate the validity of the presented results. Additionally, we establish an application for finding the existence of solutions to a system of matrix equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The concept of symmetry has played a major role in Hilbert space setting owing to the structure of a complete inner product space. Subsequently, different studies pertaining to symmetry, including symmetric operators, have investigated real Hilbert spaces. In this paper, we study the solutions to multiple-set split feasibility problems for a pair of finite families of β -enriched, strictly pseudocontractive mappings in the setup of a real Hilbert space. In view of this, we constructed an iterative scheme that properly included these two mappings into the formula. Under this iterative scheme, an appropriate condition for the existence of solutions and strong and weak convergent results are presented. No sum condition is imposed on the countably finite family of the iteration parameters in obtaining our results unlike for several other results in this direction. In addition, we prove that a slight modification of our iterative scheme could be applied in studying hierarchical variational inequality problems in a real Hilbert space. Our results improve, extend and generalize several results currently existing in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to generalize the concept of classical fuzzy set to vector-valued fuzzy set which can attend values not only in the real interval [ 0 ,   1 ] , but in an ordered interval of a Banach algebra as well. This notion allows us to introduce the concept of vector-valued fuzzy metric space which generalizes, extends and unifies the notion of classical fuzzy metric space and complex-valued fuzzy metric space and permits us to consider the fuzzy sets and metrics in a larger domain. Some topological properties of such spaces are discussed and some fixed point results in this new setting are proved. Multifarious examples are presented which clarify and justify our claims and results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Fractional calculus provides some fractional operators for us to model different real-world phenomena mathematically. One of these important study fields is the mathematical model of the elastic beam changes. More precisely, in this paper, based on the behavior patterns of an elastic beam, we consider the generalized sequential boundary value problems of the Navier difference equations by using the post-quantum fractional derivatives of the Caputo-like type. We discuss on the existence theory for solutions of the mentioned (p ; q) -difference Navier problems in two single-valued and set-valued versions. We use the main properties of the (p ; q) -operators in this regard. Application of the fixed points of the ρ - θ -contractions along with the endpoints of the multi-valued functions play a fundamental role to prove the existence results. Finally in two examples, we validate our models and theoretical results by giving numerical models of the generalized sequential (p ; q) -difference Navier problems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce the novel concept of generalized distance denoted as J θ and call it an extended b-generalized pseudo-distance. With the help of this generalized distance, we define a generalized point to set distance J θ (u , H ★) , a generalized Hausdorff type distance and a P J θ -property of a pair (H ★ , K ★) of nonempty subsets of extended b-metric space (U ★ , ρ θ). Additionally, we establish several best proximity point theorems for multi-valued contraction mappings of Nadler type defined on b-metric spaces and extended b-metric spaces. Our findings generalize numerous existing results found in the literature. To substantiate the introduced notion and validate our main results, we provide some concrete examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce and examine the notion of a protected quasi-metric. In particular, we give some of its properties and present several examples of distinguished topological spaces that admit a compatible protected quasi-metric, such as the Alexandroff spaces, the Sorgenfrey line, the Michael line, and the Khalimsky line, among others. Our motivation is due, in part, to the fact that a successful improvement of the classical Banach fixed-point theorem obtained by Suzuki does not admit a natural and full quasi-metric extension, as we have noted in a recent article. Thus, and with the help of this new structure, we obtained a fixed-point theorem in the framework of Smyth-complete quasi-metric spaces that generalizes Suzuki's theorem. Combining right completeness with partial ordering properties, we also obtained a variant of Suzuki's theorem, which was applied to discuss types of difference equations and recurrence equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we consider a faster iterative method for approximating the fixed points of generalized α -nonexpansive mappings. We prove several weak and strong convergence theorems of the considered method in mild conditions within the control parameters. In order to validate our findings, we present some nontrivial examples of the considered mappings. Furthermore, we show that the class of mappings considered is more general than some nonexpansive-type mappings. Also, we show numerically that the method studied in our article is more efficient than several existing methods. Lastly, we use our main results to approximate the solution of a delay fractional differential equation in the Caputo sense. Our results generalize and improve many well-known existing results.

This article examines the process for solving the fixed-point problem of Bregman strongly nonexpansive mapping as well as the variational inequality problem of the pseudomonotone operator. Within the context of p-uniformly convex real Banach spaces that are also uniformly smooth, we introduce a modified Halpern iterative technique combined with an inertial approach and Tseng methods for finding a common solution of the fixed-point problem of Bregman strongly nonexpansive mapping and the pseudomonotone variational inequality problem. Using our iterative approach, we develop a strong convergence result for approximating the solution of the aforementioned problems. We also discuss some consequences of our major finding. The results presented in this paper complement and build upon many relevant discoveries in the literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The focus of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the advancements made in the understanding of Interpolative contraction, building upon the ideas initially introduced by Karapinar in 2018. In this paper, we develop the notion of Interpolative contraction mappings to the case of non-linear Kannan Interpolative, Riech Rus Ćirić interpolative and Hardy–Roger Interpolative contraction mappings based on controlled function, and prove some fixed point results in the context of controlled metric space, thereby enhancing the current understanding of this particular analysis. Furthermore, we provide a concrete example that illustrates the underlying drive for the investigations presented in this context. An application of the proposed non-linear Interpolative-contractions to the Liouville–Caputo fractional derivatives and fractional differential equations is provided in this paper.

In this paper, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for a class of Dirichlet boundary value problems whose model is − Δ p u = β | ∇ u | q + c | u | p − 2 u + f in   Ω , u = 0 on   ∂ Ω , where Ω is an open bounded subset of R N , N ≥ 2 , 1 < p < N , Δ p u is the so-called p-Laplace operator, and p − 1 < q < p . We assume that β is a positive constant, c and f are measurable functions belonging to suitable Lorentz spaces. Our approach is based on Schauder fixed point theorem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the concepts of Wardowski-type set-valued contractions and Işik-type set-valued contractions are introduced and fixed point theorems for such contractions are established. A positive answer to the open Question is given. Examples to support main theorems and an application to integral inclusion are given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is devoted to showing the relevance of the notion of completeness used to establish a fixed point theorem in fuzzy metric spaces introduced by Kramosil and Michalek. Specifically, we show that demanding a stronger notion of completeness, called p-completeness, it is possible to relax some extra conditions on the space to obtain a fixed point theorem in this framework. To this end, we focus on a fixed point result, proved by Mihet for complete non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces (Theorem 1). So, we define a weaker concept than the non-Archimedean fuzzy metric, called t-strong, and we establish an alternative version of Miheţ's theorem for p-complete t-strong fuzzy metrics (Theorem 2). In addition, an example of t-strong fuzzy metric spaces that are not non-Archimedean is provided. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We define and study enriched Suzuki mappings in Hadamard spaces. The results obtained here are extending fundamental findings previously established in related research. The extension is realized with respect to at least two different aspects: the setting and the class of involved operators. More accurately, Hilbert spaces are particular Hadamard spaces, while enriched Suzuki nonexpansive mappings are natural generalizations of enriched nonexpansive mappings. Next, enriched Suzuki nonexpansive mappings naturally contain Suzuki nonexpansive mappings in Hadamard spaces. Besides technical lemmas, the results of this paper deal with (1) the existence of fixed points for enriched Suzuki nonexpansive mappings and (2) Δ and strong (metric) convergence of Picard iterates of the α -averaged mapping, which are exactly Krasnoselskij iterates for the original mapping. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce the notion of orthogonal α –F–convex contraction mapping and prove some fixed-point theorems for self-mapping in orthogonal complete metric spaces. The proven results generalize and extend some of the well-known results in the literature. Following the derivation of these fixed-point results, we propose a solution for the fractional integro-differential equation, utilizing the fixed-point technique within the context of orthogonal complete metric spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

It is known that a strict contraction on a complete metric space with a graph possesses a fixed point. In the present paper, we show that this property holds for single valued and set-valued self-mappings of metric spaces with graphs that are of the contractive type. We also show the convergence of iterates of these mappings to fixed points. In particular, our results are true for metric spaces with symmetric graphs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We introduce the new idea of (α − θ σ) -contraction in quasi-metric spaces in this paper. For these kinds of mappings, we then prove new fixed-point theorems on left K, left M, and left S m y t h -complete quasi-metric spaces. We also apply our results to infer the existence of a solution to a second-order boundary-value problem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, our main aim is to present innovative fixed-point theorems that provide solutions to the fixed-circle problem with symmetric contractions. We accomplish this by employing operator enrichment techniques within the context of Banach spaces. Furthermore, we demonstrate the practical application of these theorems by showcasing their relevance to the rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function. By exploring the connection between fixed points and activation functions, our work contributes to a deeper understanding of the behavior and properties of these fundamental mathematical concepts.

The authors deal with nonlinear and general Hammerstein-type functional integral equations (HTFIEs). The first objective of this work is to apply and extend Burton's method to general and nonlinear HTFIEs in a Banach space via the Chebyshev norm and complete metric. The second objective of the paper is to extend and improve some earlier results to nonlinear HTFIEs. The authors prove two new theorems with regard to the existence and uniqueness of solutions (EUSs) of HTFIEs via a technique called progressive contractions, which belongs to T. A. Burton, and the Chebyshev norm and complete metric. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2006, together with D. Butnariu, we showed that if all iterates of a nonexpansive self-mapping of a complete metric space converge, then all its inexact iterates with summable computational errors converge too. In a recent paper of ours, we have extended this result to uniformly locally nonexpansive self-mappings of a complete metric space. In the present paper, we establish analogous results for uniformly locally nonexpansive mappings which take a nonempty closed subset of a complete metric space into the space. In the particular case of a Banach space, if the operator is symmetric, then the set of all limit points of its iterates is also symmetric. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In our 2006 paper with D. Butnariu, it was shown that the convergence of iterates of a nonexpansive self-mapping of a complete metric space is stable in the presence of summable computational errors. In the present paper, we establish such results for monotone nonexpansive mappings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper considers a class of fractional impulsive wave equations and improves a previous results. In fact, this paper adopts a new topological approach to prove the existence of classical solutions with a complex arguments caused by impulsive perturbations. To the best of our knowledge, there is a severe lack of results related to such impulsive equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In our recent paper we obtained an extension of a theorem of Tam (2018), which was established for iterates of a set-valued paracontracting operators in a finite-dimensional Euclidean space. This extension was obtained for exact iterates of maps in a metric space. In the present paper we prove two analogs of this result for inexact iterates under the presence of computational errors. In the first result, the errors are summable, while for the second one they converge to zero. In a particular case of a Banach space, if all the operators are symmetric, then the set of all limit points of iterates is symmetric too. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is manifold. We first define the new class of operators called MR-Kannan interpolative type contractions, which includes the Kannan, enriched Kannan, interpolative Kannan type, and enriched interpolative Kannan type operators. Secondly, we prove the existence of a unique fixed point for this class of operators. Thirdly, we study Ulam-Hyers stability, well-posedness, and periodic point properties. Finally, an application of the main results to the variational inequality problem is given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In an article published in 2015, Hussain et al. introduced a notion of a fuzzy b-metric space and obtained some fixed point theorems for this kind of space. Shortly thereafter, Nădăban presented a notion of a fuzzy b-metric space that is slightly different from the one given by Hussain et al., and explored some of its topological properties. Related to Nădăban's study, Sedghi and Shobe, Saadati, and Šostak independently conducted investigations in articles published in 2012, 2015, and 2018, respectively, about another class of spaces that Sedgi and Shobe called b-fuzzy metric spaces, Saadati, fuzzy metric type spaces, and Šostak, fuzzy k-metric spaces. The main contributions of our paper are the following: First, we propose a notion of fuzzy b-metric space that encompasses and unifies the aforementioned types of spaces. Our approach, which is based on Gabriec's notion of a fuzzy metric space, allows us to simultaneously cover two interesting classes of spaces, namely, the 01-fuzzy b-metric spaces and the K-stationary fuzzy b-metric spaces. Second, we show that each fuzzy b-metric space, in our sense, admits uniformity with a countable base. From this fact, we derive, among other consequences, that the topology induced by means of its "open" balls is metrizable. Finally, we obtain a characterization of complete fuzzy b-metric spaces with the help of a fixed point result which is also proved here. In support of our approach, several examples, including an application to a type of difference equations, are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the context of uniformly convex Banach space, this paper focuses on examining the strong convergence of the F * iterative algorithm to the fixed point of a strongly pseudocontractive mapping. Furthermore, we demonstrate through numerical methods that the F * iterative algorithm converges strongly and faster than other current iterative schemes in the literature and extends to the fixed point of a strong pseudocontractive mapping. Finally, under a nonlinear quadratic Volterra integral equation, the application of our findings is shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this research is to examine the uniqueness and existence of the (ω , ρ) -BVP solution for a particular solution to a class of Hadamard fractional differential equations with impulsive boundary value requirements on Banach spaces. The notion of Banach contraction and Schaefer's theorem are used to prove the study's key findings. In addition, we offer the prerequisites for the set of solutions to the investigated boundary value with impulsive fractional differential issue to be convex. To enhance the comprehension and practical application of our findings, we offer two illustrative examples at the end of the paper to show how the results can be applied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce the b-triangular property in fuzzy b-metric space. Furthermore, we give some new fixed point results in fuzzy b-metric space for non-continuous mappings. Our results generalize and expand some results from the related literature. Two applications of our results, to solving Fredholm integral equation and in dynamic programming, are also given. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Lipschitz mapping appears inevitably in many branches of mathematics, especially in functional analysis, and leads to the study of new results in metric fixed point theory. Goebel and Sims (resp. Goebel and Japon-Pineda) introduced a class of the Lipschitz mappings termed as (α , p) -Liptschitz mappings and studied not only the modified form of the Lipschitz condition, but also the behavior of a finite number of their iterates. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the various types of (α , p) -contractions with cyclic representation that extend the results due to Banach, Kannan, and Chatterjea. Moreover, based on such types of contractions and the property of symmetry, we obtain some related fixed-point results in the setting of metric spaces. Some examples are studied to illustrate the validity of our obtained results. As an application of our results, we establish the existence of the solution to a class of Fredholm integral equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce the notion of extended S-metric space of type (α , β) . This extension is a generalization of S-metric space, defined by employing two functions instead of considering a constant in the second condition of the S-metric space definition. Accordingly, we prove some fixed-point results and give some examples to illustrate the validity of our work, along with giving an application of the Fredholm integral equation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2007, in our joint work with D. Butnariu and S. Reich, we proved that if for a self-mapping of a complete metric that is uniformly continuous on bounded sets all its iterates converge uniformly on bounded sets, then this convergence is stable under the presence of small errors. In the present paper, we obtain an extension of this result for self-mappings of a metric space with a graph. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Partial metrics constitute a generalization of classical metrics for which self-distance may not be zero. They were introduced by S.G. Matthews in 1994 in order to provide an adequate mathematical framework for the denotational semantics of programming languages. Since then, different works were devoted to obtaining counterparts of metric fixed-point results in the more general context of partial metrics. Nevertheless, in the literature was shown that many of these generalizations are actually obtained as a corollary of their aforementioned classical counterparts. Recently, two fuzzy versions of partial metrics have been introduced in the literature. Such notions may constitute a future framework to extend already established fuzzy metric fixed point results to the partial metric context. The goal of this paper is to retrieve the conclusion drawn in the aforementioned paper by Haghia et al. to the fuzzy partial metric context. To achieve this goal, we construct a fuzzy metric from a fuzzy partial metric. The topology, Cauchy sequences, and completeness associated with this fuzzy metric are studied, and their relationships with the same notions associated to the fuzzy partial metric are provided. Moreover, this fuzzy metric helps us to show that many fixed point results stated in fuzzy metric spaces can be extended directly to the fuzzy partial metric framework. An outstanding difference between our approach and the classical technique introduced by Haghia et al. is shown. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we first propose a new concept of Z-Z-B spaces, which is a generalization of Z-C-X spaces. Meanwhile, the new concept of the superior cone is introduced. Secondly, we study some new problems for semi-closed 1-set-contractive operators in the Z-Z-B space and obtain some new results. These new theorems are proven by combining partial order theory with fixed point index theory. Regarding these theorems, in the latter part of the paper, the proofs are omitted since the methods of proving these theorems are similar. Moreover, two important inequality lemmas are proven.

The physical implementation of the continuous-time memristor makes it widely used in chaotic circuits, whereas the discrete-time memristor has not received much attention. In this paper, the backward-Euler method is used to discretize the T i O 2 memristor model, and the discretized model also meets the three fingerprints characteristics of the generalized memristor. The short period phenomenon and uneven output distribution of one-dimensional chaotic systems affect their applications in some fields, so it is necessary to improve the dynamic characteristics of one-dimensional chaotic systems. In this paper, a two-dimensional discrete-time memristor model is obtained by linear coupling of the proposed T i O 2 memristor model and one-dimensional chaotic systems. Since the two-dimensional model has infinite fixed points, the stability of these fixed points depends on the coupling parameters and the initial state of the discrete T i O 2 memristor model. Furthermore, the dynamic characteristics of one-dimensional chaotic systems can be enhanced by the proposed method. Finally, we apply the generated chaotic sequence to secure communication.

This paper aims to investigate the Caputo fractional differential equation involving the ρ (τ) Laplacian operator and nonlocal multi-point of Riemann–Liouville's fractional integral. We also prove the uniqueness of the positive solutions for Boyd and Wong's nonlinear contraction via the Guo–Krasnoselskii fixed-point theorem in Banach spaces. Finally, we illustrate the theoretical results and show that by solving the nonlocal problems, it is possible to obtain accurate approximations of the solutions. An example is also provided to illustrate the applications of our theorem. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, orthogonal fuzzy versions are reported for some celebrated iterative mappings. We provide various concrete conditions on the real valued functions J , S : (0 , 1 ] → (− ∞ , ∞) for the existence of fixed-points of (J , S) -fuzzy interpolative contractions. This way, many fixed point theorems are developed in orthogonal fuzzy metric spaces. We apply the (J , S) -fuzzy version of Banach fixed point theorem to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of the solution. These results are supported with several non-trivial examples and applications to Volterra-type integral equations and fractional differential equations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to find a common element of the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of the general split variational inclusion problem in symmetric Hilbert spaces by using the inertial viscosity iterative method. Some strong convergence theorems of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated. As applications, we use our results to study the split feasibility problem and the split minimization problem. Finally, the numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our theoretical findings, and our results extend and improve many recent ones.

In his recent research, M. K. Tam (2018) considered a framework for the analysis of iterative algorithms which can be described in terms of a structured set-valued operator. At each point in the ambient space, the value of the operator can be expressed as a finite union of values of single-valued para-contracting operators. He showed that the associated fixed point iteration is locally convergent around strong fixed points. In the present paper we generalize the result of Tam and show the global convergence of his algorithm for an arbitrary starting point. An analogous result is also proven for the Krasnosel'ski–Mann iterations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The primary objective of the paper is to present the Banach contraction theorem in soft fuzzy metric spaces while taking into consideration a restriction on the soft fuzzy metric between the soft points of the absolute soft set. A new altering distance function, namely the Ψ -contraction function, is introduced on soft fuzzy metric spaces, and some fixed point results are proven by considering soft mappings that comprise Ψ -contraction with the continuity of soft t-norm. In addition to that, some illustrations are supplied for the support of the established soft fuzzy Banach contraction theorem and fixed point results over Ψ -contraction mappings. The obtained results generalize and extend some well-known results present in the literature on fixed point theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
