Abstract

The fundamental fixed point theorem for nonexpansive mappings is reformulated in the setting of a metric space possessing a convexity structure, and various constructive and nonconstructive proofs are compared. A new proof of the Browder-Göhde demiclosedness principle for mappings of the formI–T, T nonexpansive, is given, and a related result of R. E. Bruck in discussed. Si riformula, nel contesto di uno spazio metrico che possiede una struttura di convessità, il teorema fondamentale di punto fisso per applicazioni non espansive e si confrontano fra loro varie dimostrazioni, di tipo costruttivo e non costruttivo, di questo teorema. Viene inoltre data una nuova dimostrazione del principio di demichiusura di Browder-Göhde per applicazioni della formaI–T (T non espansiva) e viene discusso un risultato di R. E. Bruck ad esso correlato.

We introduce a notion of modulated topological vector spaces, that generalises, among others, Banach and modular function spaces. As applications, we prove some results which extend Kirk’s and Browder’s fixed point theorems. The theory of modulated topological vector spaces provides a very minimalist framework, where powerful fixed point theorems are valid under a bare minimum of assumptions.
... Recently it has been shown [6,7,28,34,36,45] that many classical or nonclassical Banach spaces enjoy a uniform property with respect to a given topology. This enables the authors to prove a fixed point result via well known theorems [10,19,32]. In this work we show that there is a more general property that reduces to the main conclusion of these results. ...
... Fixed point theory for nonexpansive mappings has its origins in the 1965 existence theorems [10,19,32]. Although such mappings are natural extensions of the contraction mappings, it was clear from the outset that the study of nonexpansive mappings required techniques which go far beyond the purely metric approach. ...

Since then the fixed point theory for single-valued and multivalued mappings in CAT(0) spaces has been rapidly developed and much papers have appeared (see e. g., [19] [7] [5] [9] [12] [16] [23] [8] [20] [10] [28] [6] [11] [15] [21] [22] [27] [26]).

In a personal communication, Prof. Domínguez Benavides noted that a fixed-point theorem for modular nonexpansive mappings in Lp(·)(Ω) obtained under the assumptions p+<∞ and the property (R) satisfied by ρ will force p−>1. Therefore, the conclusion is well known. In this note, we establish said conclusion without the assumption p+<∞.

The purpose of this work is two-fold. On the one side, we focus on the space of real convergent sequences c where we study non-weakly compact sets with the fixed point property. Our approach brings a positive answer to a recent question raised by Gallagher et al. in (J Math Anal Appl 431(1):471–481, 2015). On the other side, we introduce a new metric structure closely related to the notion of relative uniform normal structure, for which we show that it implies the fixed point property under adequate conditions. This will provide some stability fixed point results in the context of hyperconvex metric spaces. As a particular case, we will prove that the set M=[-1,1]NM=[1,1]NM=[-1,1]^\mathbb {N} has the fixed point property for d-nonexpansive mappings where d(·,·)d(,)d(\cdot ,\cdot ) is a metric verifying certain restrictions. Applications to some Nakano-type norms are also given.

[8] and the convexity type condition which defined by Kirk [17]. We also provide some examples which illustrate the main results. ...

A CAT(0) space is a geodesic space for which each geodesic triangle is at least as ‘thin’ as its comparison triangle in the Euclidean plane. A notion of convergence introduced independently several years ago by Lim and Kuczumow is shown in CAT(0) spaces to be very similar to the usual weak convergence in Banach spaces. In particular many Banach space results involving weak convergence have precise analogues in this setting. At the same time, many questions remain open.

Suppose that K is a nonempty closed convex subset of a complete CAT(0) space X with the nearest point projection P from X onto K. Let T:K→X be a nonexpansive nonself mapping with F(T):={x∈K:Tx=x}≠∅. Suppose that {xn} is generated iteratively by x1∈K, xn+1=P((1−αn)xn⊕αnTP[(1−βn)xn⊕βnTxn]), n≥1, where {αn} and {βn} are real sequences in [ε,1−ε] for some ε∈(0,1). Then {xn}Δ-converges to some point x∗ in F(T). This is an analog of a result in Banach spaces of Shahzad (2005) and extends a result of Dhompongsa and Panyanak (2008) to the case of nonself mappings.

Kirk [in: World congress of nonlinear analysts ’92. Proceedings of the first world congress, Tampa, FL, USA, August 1992. Berlin: de Gruyter. 2115–2125 (1996; Zbl 0844.47031)], which is a special case of the Brouwer Reduction Theorem, in metric spaces relating completeness and density of ordered sets.

Mappings which are defined on metric spaces and which do not increase distances between pairs of points and their images are called nonexpansive. Thus an abstract metric space is all that is needed to define the concept. At the same time, the more interesting results seem to require some notion of topology; more specifically a topology which assures that closed metric balls are compact. This is not a serious limitation, however, because many spaces which arise naturally in functional analysis possess such topologies; most notably the weak and weak* topologies in Banach spaces.

Then, {x n } Δ-converges to some point x ⋆ in F(T). This extends a result of Laowang and Panyanak [Fixed Point Theory Appl. 367274, 11 (2010)] for nonself mappings satisfying Condition (E).

In this survey we present an exposition of the development during the last decade of metric fixed point theory on hyperconvex metric spaces. Therefore we mainly cover results where the conditions on the mappings are metric. We will recall results about proximinal nonexpansive retractions and their impact into the theory of best approximation and best proximity pairs. A central role in this survey will be also played by some recent developments on R{\mathbb{R}} -trees. Finally, some considerations and new results on the extension of compact mappings will be shown.

This monograph provides a concise introduction to the main results and methods of the fixed point theory in modular function spaces. Modular function spaces are natural generalizations of both function and sequence variants of many important spaces like Lebesgue, Orlicz, Musielak-Orlicz, Lorentz, Orlicz-Lorentz, Calderon-Lozanovskii spaces, and others. In most cases, particularly in applications to integral operators, approximation and fixed point results, modular type conditions are much more natural and can be more easily verified than their metric or norm counterparts. There are also important results that can be proved only using the apparatus of modular function spaces. The material is presented in a systematic and rigorous manner that allows readers to grasp the key ideas and to gain a working knowledge of the theory. Despite the fact that the work is largely self-contained, extensive bibliographic references are included, and open problems and further development directions are suggested when applicable. The monograph is targeted mainly at the mathematical research community but it is also accessible to graduate students interested in functional analysis and its applications. It could also serve as a text for an advanced course in fixed point theory of mappings acting in modular function spaces.

Let X1 and X2 be two complex normed linear spaces and let D1 be a domain (that is, a nonempty open connected subset) in X1. A mapping f : D1 → X2 is said to be holomorphic in D1 if it is Fréchet differentiable at each point of D1. If D1 and D2 are domains in X1 and X2, respectively, then H(D1, D2) will denote the family of all holomorphic mappings from D1 into D2.

Let (G, ∑, μ) be a finite, atomless measure space and let Lφ be an Orlicz space of measurable functions on G. We consider some geometrical properties of the functional , called the Orlicz modular. These properties, like strict convexity, uniform convexity or uniform convexity in every direction, can be equivalently expressed in terms of the properties of the corresponding Orlicz function φ. We use these properties in order to prove some fixed point results for mappings T: B → B, B ⊂ Lφ, that are nonexpansive with respect to the Orlicz modular ρ, i.e., ρ(Tƒ − Tg) ⩽ ρ(ƒ − g) for all ƒ and g in B. We prove also existence and uniqueness in Lφ of the best approximant with respect to ρ and some convex subsets of Lφ. Our results are valid also in the case when the Orlicz function φ does not satisfy the Δ2-condition. This demonstrates the advantage of our method because, in the latter case, both Luxemburg's and Orlicz's norms cannot possess suitable convexity properties.

A new characterization of normal structure is given, which allows to prove permanence properties of normal structure such as preservation under finite direct-sum-operations - e.g., the lpN-direct sums, 1 < ≤ ∞ - as well as under certain infinite direct-sum-operations - e.g., the lp-direct sums, 1 < p < ∞. Furthermore, it is shown that a normed space has isonormal structure - i.e., it is isomorphic to a normally structured space - if and only if it can be mapped by a continuous linear one-to-one operator into some normally structured space. Finally, some problems are discussed, such as preservation of normal structure under the l12-direct-sum-operation. To solve the latter at least partially, a sum-property is introduced which implies normal structure. This sum-property is implied by all known sufficient conditions for normal structure, and it is preserved under all finite direct-sum-operations.

A class S\mathscr{S} of subsets of a bounded metric space is said to be normal if each member of S\mathscr{S} contains a nondiametral point. An induction proof is given for the following. Suppose M is a nonempty bounded metric space which contains a class S\mathscr{S} of subsets which is countably compact, normal, stable under arbitrary intersections, and which contains the closed balls in M. Then every nonexpansive self-mapping of M has a fixed point.

Starting with a decreasing map φ: X → X on a partially ordered set X we construct a map It φ which intuitively can be understood as the iteration (countable or transfinite) of φ. The main properties which It φ inherits from φ are investigated. As application of the main result some fixpoint theorems are proved. Besides, our method yields constructive proofs for results which are usually demonstrated with the help of the axiom of choice.

This is a brief survey of those aspects of fixed point theory for nonexpansive mappings which require assumptions weaker than the axiom of choice in its most general form. In 1977 B. Fuchssteiner observed that the basic existence theorem for such mappings could be derived constructively from an early result essentially due to Zermelo. This paper begins with a reformulation of Fuchssteiner’s idea in a more abstract framework. It is then shown that within this framework, but with the additional assumption of separability on the space, one can deduce that minimal sets exist using only a countable version of the axiom of choice (dependent choices). The existence of minimal sets is crucial to the application of the well-known Goebel-Karlovity lemma which exploits pathological behavior of nontrivial weakly compact sets which are minimal with respect to being nonempty, weakly compact, convex, and T-invariant for nonexpansive T. Section 4 contains a refinement of this lemma and Section 5 contains an application of this refinement.

The concept of uniform convexity in a normed linear space is based on the geometric condition that if two members of the unit ball are far apart, then their midpoint is well inside the unit ball. We consider here a generalization of this concept whose geometric significance is that the collection of all chords of the unit ball that are parallel to a fixed direction and whose lengths are bounded below by a positive number has the property that the midpoints of the chords lie uniformly deep inside the unit ball. This notion, called uniform convexity in every direction ( UCED ), was first used by A. L. Garkavi [ 5; 6 ] to characterize normed linear spaces for which every bounded subset has at most one Čebyŝev center. We discuss questions of renorming spaces so as to be UCED and forming products of spaces that are uniformly convex in every direction.

We prove that ifC is a bounded closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space,T:C→C is a nonlinear contraction, andS n =(I+T+…+T n−1 )/n, then limn ‖S n (x)−TS n (x)‖=0 uniformly inx inC. T also satisfies an inequality analogous to Zarantonello’s Hilbert space inequality. which permits the study of the structure of the weak ω-limit set of an orbit. These results are valid forB-convex spaces if some additional condition is imposed on the mapping.

The following theorem is proven:if E is a uniformly rotund Banach space with a Fréchet differentiable norm, C is a bounded nonempty closed convex subset of E, and T: C→C is a contraction, then the iterates {T nx} are weakly almost-convergent to a fixed-point of T.
