AbstractSeveral fixed-point models share the equational properties of iteration theories, or iteration categories, which are cartesian categories equipped with a fixed point or dagger operation subject to certain axioms. After discussing some of the basic models, we provide equational bases for iteration categories and offer an analysis of the axioms. Although iteration categories have no finite base for their identities, there exist finitely based implicational theories that capture their equational theory. We exhibit several such systems. Then we enrich iteration categories with an additive structure and exhibit interesting cases where the interaction between the iteration category structure and the additive structure can be captured by a finite number of identities. This includes the iteration category of monotonic or continuous functions over complete lattices equipped with the least fixed-point operation and the binary supremum operation as addition, the categories of simulation, bisimulation, or language equivalence classes of processes, context-free languages, and others. Finally, we exhibit a finite equational system involving residuals, which is sound and complete for monotonic or continuous functions over complete lattices in the sense that it proves all of their identities involving the operations and constants of cartesian categories, the least fixed-point operation and binary supremum, but not involving residuals.

Combining the approaches of functionals associated with h-concave functions and fixed point techniques, we study the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a class of nonlinear integral equation: x(t) = g1(t)-g2(t) + ? ?t,0 V1(t,s)h1(s,x(s))ds + ? ?T,0 V2(t,s)h2(s,x(s))ds; where C([0,T];R) denotes the space of all continuous functions on [0,T] equipped with the uniform metric and t?[0,T], ?,? are real numbers, g1, g2 ? C([0, T],R) and V1(t,s), V2(t,s), h1(t,s), h2(t,s) are continuous real-valued functions in [0,T]xR.

We prove that algebras of binary relations whose similarity type includes intersection, union, and one of the residuals of relation composition form a nonfinitely axiomatizable quasivariety and that the equational theory is not finitely based. We apply this result to the problem of the completeness of the positive fragment of relevance logic with respect to binary relations.

International audience Epigroups are semigroups equipped with an additional unary operation called pseudoinversion. Each finite semigroup can be considered as an epigroup. We prove the following theorem announced by Zhil'tsov in 2000: the equational theory of the class of all epigroups coincides with the equational theory of the class of all finite epigroups and is decidable. We show that the theory is not finitely based but provide a transparent infinite basis for it.

Domain-theoretic categories are axiomatised by means of categorical non-order-theoretic requirements on a cartesian closed category equipped with a commutative monad. In this paper we prove an enrichment theorem showing that every axiomatic domain-theoretic category can be endowed with an intensional notion of approximation, the path relation, with respect to which the category Cpo-enriches.Our analysis suggests more liberal notions of domains. In particular, we present a category where the path order is not ω-complete, but in which the constructions of domain theory (such as, for example, the existence of uniform fixed-point operators and the solution of domain equations) are available.

Two finite words [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are [Formula: see text]-binomially equivalent if, for each word [Formula: see text] of length at most [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] appears the same number of times as a subsequence (i.e., as a scattered subword) of both [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]. This notion generalizes abelian equivalence. In this paper, we study the equivalence classes induced by the [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence. We provide an algorithm generating the [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence class of a word. For [Formula: see text] and alphabet of [Formula: see text] or more symbols, the language made of lexicographically least elements of every [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence class and the language of singletons, i.e., the words whose [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence class is restricted to a single element, are shown to be non-context-free. As a consequence of our discussions, we also prove that the submonoid generated by the generators of the free nil-[Formula: see text] group (also called free nilpotent group of class [Formula: see text]) on [Formula: see text] generators is isomorphic to the quotient of the free monoid [Formula: see text] by the [Formula: see text]-binomial equivalence.

It is known that two commuting continuous functions on an interval need not have a common fixed point. It is not known if such two functions have a common periodic point. In this paper we first give some results in this direction. We then define a new contractive condition, under which two continuous functions must have a unique common fixed point.

AbstractThe aim of this article is to discuss the uniqueness and Ulam–Hyers stability of solutions for a nonlinear fractional integro-differential equation involving a generalized Caputo fractional operator. The used fractional operator is generated by iterating a local integral of the form $(I_{a}^{\rho }f)(t)=\int _{a}^{t}f(s)s^{\rho -1}\,ds$ ( I a ρ f ) ( t ) = ∫ a t f ( s ) s ρ − 1 d s . Our reported results are obtained in the Banach space of absolutely continuous functions that rely on Babenko’s technique and Banach’s fixed point theorem. Besides, our main findings are illustrated by some examples.

A. Rosenfeld [23] introduced the notion of a digitally continuous function between digital images, and showed that although digital images need not have fixed point properties analogous to those of the Euclidean spaces modeled by the images, there often are approximate fixed point properties of such images. In the current paper, we obtain additional results concerning fixed points and approximate fixed points of digitally continuous functions. Among these are several results concerning the relationship between universal functions and the approximate fixed point property (AFPP).

A mu-lattice is a lattice with the property that every unary <br />polynomial has both a least and a greatest fix-point. In this paper<br />we define the quasivariety of mu-lattices and, for a given partially<br />ordered set P, we construct a mu-lattice JP whose elements are<br />equivalence classes of games in a preordered class J (P). We prove<br />that the mu-lattice JP is free over the ordered set P and that the<br />order relation of JP is decidable if the order relation of P is <br />decidable. By means of this characterization of free mu-lattices we<br />infer that the class of complete lattices generates the quasivariety<br />of mu-lattices.<br />Keywords: mu-lattices, free mu-lattices, free lattices, bicompletion<br />of categories, models of computation, least and greatest fix-points,<br />mu-calculus, Rabin chain games.

This paper aims to use T-orbitally lower semi-continuous and $w$-continuous functions in $d$-complete topological spaces to validate some fixed point theorems and extend various known results. The paper also seeks to establish, in the setting of $d$-complete topological spaces, Mizoguchi-Takahashi's type coincidence point theorem for single valued map. The results are supported by illustrative examples.
