AbstractWe prove that if f is a homeomorphism of the annulus which is homotopic to the identity and has a compact invariant chain transitive set L, then either f has a fixed point or every point of L moves uniformly in one direction: clockwise or counterclockwise. If f is area-preserving, then the annulus itself is a chain transitive set, so, in the presence of a boundary twist condition, one obtains a fixed point. The same techniques apply to homeomorphisms of the torus T2. In this setting we show that if f is homotopic to the identity, preserves Lebesgue measure and has mean translation 0, then it has at least one fixed point.

AbstractThe stability of a fixed point of an area-preserving transformation in the plane is characterized by the invariant curves which surround it. The existence of invariant curves had been extensively studied for elliptic fixed points. Here we study the similar problem for parabolic fixed points. In particular we are interested in the case where the fixed point is at infinity.

AbstractA fixed point of an area-preserving mapping of the plane is called elliptic if the eigenvalues of its linearization are of unit modulus but not ±1; it is parabolic if both eigenvalues are 1 or −1. The elliptic case is well understood by Moser's theory. Here we study when is a parabolic fixed point surrounded by closed invariant curves. We approximate our mapping T by the phase flow of an Hamiltonian system. A pair of variables, closely related to the action-angle variables, is used to reduce T into a twist mapping. The conditions for T to have closed invariant curves are stated in terms of the Hamiltonian.

AbstractThe study of area preserving maps of manifolds has an extensive history in the theory of dynamical systems. One interest has been in the behaviour of such maps near an isolated fixed point. In 1974 Carl Simon proved the existence of an upper bound for the index of an isolated fixed point for Ck area preserving diffeomorphisms of a surface. We extend his result to homeomorphisms of an orientable two manifold. The proof utilizes the notion of free modification, developed by Morton Brown, and enlarges the scope of the problem to the consideration of ‘nice’ measures, i.e. uniformly equivalent to Lebesgue measure on compact sets. By suitably modifying the homeomorphism and the measure, we obtain the following theorem.

Let $f$ be an orientation and area preserving diffeomorphism of an oriented surface $M$ with an isolated degenerate fixed point $z_{0}$ with Lefschetz index one. Le Roux conjectured that $z_{0}$ is accumulated by periodic orbits. In this paper, we will approach Le Roux’s conjecture by proving that if $f$ is isotopic to the identity by an isotopy fixing $z_{0}$ and if the area of $M$ is finite, then $z_{0}$ is accumulated not only by periodic points, but also by periodic orbits in the measure sense. More precisely, the Dirac measure at $z_{0}$ is the limit in the weak-star topology of a sequence of invariant probability measures supported on periodic orbits. Our proof is purely topological. It works for homeomorphisms and is related to the notion of local rotation set.

AbstractThe Bourbaki–Witt principle states that any progressive map on a chain-complete poset has a fixed point above every point. It is provable classically, but not intuitionistically.We study this and related principles in an intuitionistic setting. Among other things, we show that Bourbaki–Witt fails exactly when the trichotomous ordinals form a set, but does not imply that fixed points can always be found by transfinite iteration. Meanwhile, on the side of models, we see that the principle fails in realisability toposes, and does not hold in the free topos, but does hold in all cocomplete toposes.

AbstractIt is well known that an orientation-preserving homeomorphism of the plane without fixed points has trivial dynamics; that is, its non-wandering set is empty and all the orbits diverge to infinity. However, orbits can diverge to infinity in many different ways (or not) giving rise to fundamental regions of divergence. Such a map is topologically equivalent to a plane translation if and only if it has only one fundamental region. We consider the conservative, orientation-preserving and fixed point free Hénon map and prove that it has only one fundamental region of divergence. Actually, we prove that there exists an area-preserving homeomorphism of the plane that conjugates this Hénon map to a translation.

AbstractPositive tilt maps of the annulus are studied, and a correspondence is developed between the rotation set of the map and certain of its Morse decompositions. The main tool used is a characterization of fixed point free lifts of positive tilt maps. As an application, some alternative hypotheses under which the conclusions of the Aubry-Mather theorem hold are given, and it is also shown that the rotation band of a chain transitive set is always in the rotation set of the map.

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.

In this article, we employ the notion of coupled fixed points on a complete b-metric space endowed with a graph to give sufficient conditions to guarantee a solution of system of differential equations with impulse effects. We derive recisely some new coupled fixed point theorems under some conditions and then apply our results to achieve our goal.
