In the present paper, we solve the problem of determining the fuzzy distance between two subsets of a fuzzy metric space. We address the problem by reducing it to the problem of finding an optimal approximate solution of a fixed point equation. This approach is well studied for the corresponding problem in metric spaces and is known as proximity point problem. We employ fuzzy weak contractions for that purpose. Fuzzy weak contraction is a recently introduced concept intermediate to a fuzzy contraction and a fuzzy non-expansive mapping. Fuzzy versions of some geometric properties essentially belonging to Hilbert spaces are considered in the main theorem. We include an illustrative example and two corollaries, one of which comes from a well-known fixed point theorem. The illustrative example shows that the main theorem properly includes its corollaries. The work is in the domain of fuzzy global optimization by use of fixed point methods.

The purpose of this paper is to prove fixed point theorems for cyclic-type operators in extended b-metric spaces. The well-posedness of the fixed point problem and limit shadowing property are also discussed. Some examples are given in order to support our results, and the last part of the paper considers some applications of the main results. The first part of this section is devoted to the study of the existence of a solution to the boundary value problem. In the second part of this section, we study the existence of solutions to fractional boundary value problems with integral-type boundary conditions in the frame of some Caputo-type fractional operators.

We introduce a new class of nonself-mappings, generalized proximal weak contraction mappings, and prove the existence and uniqueness of best proximity point for such mappings in the context of complete metric spaces. Moreover, we state an algorithm to determine such an optimal approximate solution designed as a best proximity point. We establish also an example to illustrate our main results. Our result provides an extension of the related results in the literature.

We introduce the concept of proximity points for nonself-mappings between two subsets of a complex valued metric space which is a recently introduced extension of metric spaces obtained by allowing the metric function to assume values from the field of complex numbers. We apply this concept to obtain the minimum distance between two subsets of the complex valued metric spaces. We treat the problem as that of finding the global optimal solution of a fixed point equation although the exact solution does not in general exist. We also define and use the concept of P-property in such spaces. Our results are illustrated with examples.

In this paper, we will present the definitions and notation of generalized $\psi$-weak contraction mappings in b-metric spaces, and establish some results besides the most important properties of fixed point in orbitally complete b-metric spaces. Our results generalize several well-known comparable results in the literature. As an application of our results we generalize the results of Shatanawi [7]. Some examples are given to illustrate the useability of our results.

Inspired by Moudafi (2011) and Takahashi et al. (2008), we present the shrinking projection method for the split common fixed-point problem in Hilbert spaces, and we obtain the strong convergence theorem. As a special case, the split feasibility problem is also considered.

The aim of this paper is to present another family of fractional symmetric α - η -contractions and build up some new results for such contraction in the context of ℱ -metric space. The author derives some results for Suzuki-type contractions and orbitally T -complete and orbitally continuous mappings in ℱ -metric spaces. The inspiration of this paper is to observe the solution of fractional-order differential equation with one of the boundary conditions using fixed-point technique in ℱ -metric space.

This chapter quantifies the dynamics of a crossword puzzle by using a network structure to model it. Specifically, the chapter determines how the interaction between the structure of cells in the puzzle and the difficulty of the clues affects the puzzle's solvability. It first builds an iterative stochastic process that exactly describes the solution and obtains its deterministic approximation, which gives a very simple fixed-point equation to solve for the final solution proportion. The chapter then shows via simulation on actual crosswords from the Sunday edition of The New York Times that certain network properties inherent to actual crossword networks are important predictors of the final solution size of the puzzle.
