Abstract We study the discrete dynamics of standard (or left) polynomials $f(x)$ over division rings D. We define their fixed points to be the points $\lambda \in D$ for which $f^{\circ n}(\lambda )=\lambda $ for any $n \in \mathbb {N}$ , where $f^{\circ n}(x)$ is defined recursively by $f^{\circ n}(x)=f(f^{\circ (n-1)}(x))$ and $f^{\circ 1}(x)=f(x)$ . Periodic points are similarly defined. We prove that $\lambda $ is a fixed point of $f(x)$ if and only if $f(\lambda )=\lambda $ , which enables the use of known results from the theory of polynomial equations, to conclude that any polynomial of degree $m \geq 2$ has at most m conjugacy classes of fixed points. We also show that in general, periodic points do not behave as in the commutative case. We provide a sufficient condition for periodic points to behave as expected.

We consider arbitrary orderings of the edges entering each vertex of the (downward directed) Pascal graph. Each ordering determines an adic (Bratteli–Vershik) system, with a transformation that is defined on most of the space of infinite paths that begin at the root. We prove that for every ordering the coding of orbits according to the partition of the path space determined by the first three edges is essentially faithful, meaning that it is one-to-one on a set of paths that has full measure for every fully supported invariant probability measure. We also show that for every$k$the subshift that arises from coding orbits according to the first$k$edges is topologically weakly mixing. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for any adic system to be topologically conjugate to an odometer and use this condition to determine the probability that a random order on a fixed diagram, or a diagram constructed at random in some way, is topologically conjugate to an odometer. We also show that the closure of the union over all orderings of the subshifts arising from codings of the Pascal adic by the first edge has superpolynomial complexity, is not topologically transitive, and has no periodic points besides the two fixed points, while the intersection over all orderings consists of just four orbits.

We introduce the notion of weaker(ϕ,φ)-contractive mapping in complete metric spaces and prove the periodic points and fixed points for this type of contraction. Our results generalize or improve many recent fixed point theorems in the literature.

The aim of the present paper is to show the significance of the concept of orbital continuity introduced by Ciric. We prove that orbital continuity of a pair of R-weak commuting self-mappings of type Af or of type A1 of a complete metric space is equivalent to fixed point property under Jungck type contraction. We also establish a situation in which orbital continuity is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a common fixed point of a pair of mappings yet the mappings are necessarily discontinuous at the fixed point.

<p>We prove that a continuous triangular map G of the n-dimensional cube I<sup>n</sup> has only fixed points and no other periodic points if and only if G has a common fixed point with every continuous triangular map F that is nontrivially compatible with G. This is an analog of Jungck theorem for maps of a real compact interval. We also discuss possible extensions of Jungck theorem, Jachymski theorem and some related results to more general spaces. In particular, the spaces with the fixed point property and the complete invariance property are considered.</p>

AbstractIn this paper, we study translation sets for non-decreasing maps of the real line with a pattern-equivariant displacement with respect to a quasicrystal. First, we establish a correspondence between these maps and self maps of the continuous hull associated with the quasicrystal that are homotopic to the identity and preserve orientation. Then, by using first-return times and induced maps, we provide a partial description for the translation set of the latter maps in the case where they have fixed points and obtain the existence of a unique translation number in the case where they do not have fixed points. Finally, we investigate the existence of a semiconjugacy from a fixed-point-free map homotopic to the identity on the hull to the translation given by its translation number. We concentrate on semiconjugacies that are also homotopic to the identity and, under a boundedness condition, we prove a generalization of Poincaré’s theorem, finding a sufficient condition for such a semiconjugacy to exist depending on the translation number of the given map.

AbstractSuppose that is a connected reductive group defined over a field k, and ┌ is a finite group acting via k-automorphisms of satisfying a certain quasi-semisimplicity condition. Then the identity component of the group of -fixed points in is reductive. We axiomatize the main features of the relationship between this fixed-point group and the pair (,┌) and consider any group G satisfying the axioms. If both and G are k-quasisplit, then we can consider their duals *and G*. We show the existence of and give an explicit formula for a natural map from the set of semisimple stable conjugacy classes in G*(k) to the analogous set for *(k). If k is finite, then our groups are automatically quasisplit, and our result specializes to give a map of semisimple conjugacy classes. Since such classes parametrize packets of irreducible representations of G(k) and (k), one obtains a mapping of such packets.

Let F:0,1n⟶0,1n be a parallel dynamical system over an undirected graph with a Boolean maxterm or minterm function as a global evolution operator. It is well known that every periodic point has at most two periods. Actually, periodic points of different periods cannot coexist, and a fixed point theorem is also known. In addition, an upper bound for the number of periodic points of F has been given. In this paper, we complete the study, solving the minimum number of periodic points’ problem for this kind of dynamical systems which has been usually considered from the point of view of complexity. In order to do this, we use methods based on the notions of minimal dominating sets and maximal independent sets in graphs, respectively. More specifically, we find a lower bound for the number of fixed points and a lower bound for the number of 2-periodic points of F. In addition, we provide a formula that allows us to calculate the exact number of fixed points. Furthermore, we provide some conditions under which these lower bounds are attained, thus generalizing the fixed-point theorem and the 2-period theorem for these systems.

In this paper, we discuss a necessary and sufficient condition for common fixed points of two nonexpansive mappings. We then prove a convergence theorem to a common fixed point. Finally, we discuss the existence of a nonexpansive retraction onto the set of common fixed points of nonexpansive mappings. In these theorems, we do not assume the strict (uniform) convexity of the norm of the Banach space.

In this paper, the concept of a new ?-generalized quasi metric space is introduced. A number of well-known quasi metric spaces are retrieved from ?-generalized quasi metric space. Some general fixed point theorems in a ?-generalized quasi metric spaces are proved, which generalize, modify and unify some existing fixed point theorems in the literature. We also give applications of our results to obtain fixed points for contraction mappings in the domain of words and to prove the existence of periodic solutions of delay differential equations.

Abstract In [Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 2005: 3045–3055] by Liu et al. the common property (E.A) for two pairs of hybrid maps is defined. Recently, O'Regan and Shahzad [Acta Math. Sin. (Engl. Ser.) 23: 1601–1610, 2007] have introduced a very general contractive condition and obtained some fixed point results for hybrid maps. We introduce a new property for pairs of hybrid maps that contains the property (E.A) and obtain some coincidence and fixed point theorems that extend/generalize some results from the above-mentioned papers.
