Book Description
Metric fixed point theory encompasses the branch of fixed point theory which metric conditions on the underlying space and/or on the mappings play a fundamental role. In some sense the theory is a far-reaching outgrowth of Banach's contraction mapping principle. A natural extension of the study of contractions is the limiting case when the Lipschitz constant is allowed to equal one. Such mappings are called nonexpansive. Nonexpansive mappings arise in a variety of natural ways, for example in the study of holomorphic mappings and hyperconvex metric spaces. Because most of the spaces studied in analysis share many algebraic and topological properties as well as metric properties, there is no clear line separating metric fixed point theory from the topological or set-theoretic branch of the theory. Also, because of its metric underpinnings, metric fixed point theory has provided the motivation for the study of many geometric properties of Banach spaces. The contents of this Handbook reflect all of these facts. The purpose of the Handbook is to provide a primary resource for anyone interested in fixed point theory with a metric flavor. The goal is to provide information for those wishing to find results that might apply to their own work and for those wishing to obtain a deeper understanding of the theory. The book should be of interest to a wide range of researchers in mathematical analysis as well as to those whose primary interest is the study of fixed point theory and the underlying spaces. The level of exposition is directed to a wide audience, including students and established researchers.

Book Description
Fixed point theory in probabilistic metric spaces can be considered as a part of Probabilistic Analysis, which is a very dynamic area of mathematical research. A primary aim of this monograph is to stimulate interest among scientists and students in this fascinating field. The text is self-contained for a reader with a modest knowledge of the metric fixed point theory. Several themes run through this book. The first is the theory of triangular norms (t-norms), which is closely related to fixed point theory in probabilistic metric spaces. Its recent development has had a strong influence upon the fixed point theory in probabilistic metric spaces. In Chapter 1 some basic properties of t-norms are presented and several special classes of t-norms are investigated. Chapter 2 is an overview of some basic definitions and examples from the theory of probabilistic metric spaces. Chapters 3, 4, and 5 deal with some single-valued and multi-valued probabilistic versions of the Banach contraction principle. In Chapter 6, some basic results in locally convex topological vector spaces are used and applied to fixed point theory in vector spaces. Audience: The book will be of value to graduate students, researchers, and applied mathematicians working in nonlinear analysis and probabilistic metric spaces.

Book Description
What is clear and easy to grasp attracts us; complications deter David Hilbert The material presented in this volume is based on discussions conducted in peri odically held seminars by the Nonlinear Functional Analysis research group of the University of Seville. This book is mainly addressed to those working or aspiring to work in the field of measures of noncompactness and metric fixed point theory. Special em phasis is made on the results in metric fixed point theory which were derived from geometric coefficients defined by means of measures of noncompactness and on the relationships between nonlinear operators which are contractive for different measures. Several topics in these notes can be found either in texts on measures of noncompactness (see [AKPRSj, [BG]) or in books on metric fixed point theory (see [GK1], [Sm], [Z]). Many other topics have come from papers where the authors of this volume have published the results of their research over the last ten years. However, as in any work of this type, an effort has been made to revise many proofs and to place many others in a correct setting. Our research was made possible by partial support of the D.G.I.C.y'T. and the Junta de Andalucia.

Book Description
"Fixed-point theory initially emerged in the article demonstrating existence of solutions of differential equations, which appeared in the second quarter of the 18th century (Joseph Liouville, 1837). Later on, this technique was improved as a method of successive approximations (Charles Emile Picard, 1890) which was extracted and abstracted as a fixed-point theorem in the framework of complete normed space (Stefan Banach, 1922). It ensures presence as well as uniqueness of a fixed point, gives an approximate technique to really locate the fixed point and the a priori and a posteriori estimates for the rate of convergence. It is an essential device in the theory of metric spaces. Subsequently, it is stated that fixed-point theory is initiated by Stefan Banach. Fixed-point theorems give adequate conditions under which there exists a fixed point for a given function and enable us to ensure the existence of a solution of the original problem. In an extensive variety of scientific issues, beginning from different branches of mathematics, the existence of a solution is comparable to the existence of a fixed point for a suitable mapping. The book "Fixed Point Theory & its Applications to Real World Problems" is an endeavour to present results in fixed point theory which are extensions, improvements and generalizations of classical and recent results in this area and touches on distinct research directions within the metric fixed-point theory. It provides new openings for further exploration and makes for an easily accessible source of knowledge. This book is apposite for young researchers who want to pursue their research in fixed-point theory and is the latest in the field, giving new techniques for the existence of a superior fixed point, a fixed point, a near fixed point, a fixed circle, a near fixed interval circle, a fixed disc, a near fixed interval disc, a coincidence point, a common fixed point, a coupled common fixed point, amiable fixed sets, strong coupled fixed points and so on, utilizing minimal conditions. It offers novel applications besides traditional applications which are applicable to real world problems. The book is self-contained and unified which will serve as a reference book to researchers who are in search of novel ideas. It will be a valued addition to the library"--

Book Description
In recent years, the fixed point theory of Lipschitzian-type mappings has rapidly grown into an important field of study in both pure and applied mathematics. It has become one of the most essential tools in nonlinear functional analysis. This self-contained book provides the first systematic presentation of Lipschitzian-type mappings in metric and Banach spaces. The first chapter covers some basic properties of metric and Banach spaces. Geometric considerations of underlying spaces play a prominent role in developing and understanding the theory. The next two chapters provide background in terms of convexity, smoothness and geometric coefficients of Banach spaces including duality mappings and metric projection mappings. This is followed by results on existence of fixed points, approximation of fixed points by iterative methods and strong convergence theorems. The final chapter explores several applicable problems arising in related fields. This book can be used as a textbook and as a reference for graduate students, researchers and applied mathematicians working in nonlinear functional analysis, operator theory, approximations by iteration theory, convexity and related geometric topics, and best approximation theory.
