AbstractLet p ≥ 3 be a prime number and m a positive integer, and let S be the sphere S(m-1)(p-1)-1. Let f:S→S be a map without fixed points and with fp = idS. We show that there exists an h: S→ℝm with h(x) ≠ h(f(x)) for all x ∈ S. From this we conclude that there exists a closed cover U1,…, U4m of S with Uinf(Ui) = Ø for i = 1,…, 4m. We apply these results to Borsuk-Ulam and Ljusternik-Schnirelmann-Borsuk theorems in the framework of the sectional category and to a problem in asymptotic fixed point theory.

<p>In this paper, we examine some properties of the fixed point set of a digitally continuous function. The digital setting requires new methods that are not analogous to those of classical topological fixed point theory, and we obtain results that often differ greatly from standard results in classical topology.</p><p>We introduce several measures related to fixed points for continuous self-maps on digital images, and study their properties. Perhaps the most important of these is the fixed point spectrum F(X) of a digital image: that is, the set of all numbers that can appear as the number of fixed points for some continuous self-map. We give a complete computation of F(C<sub>n</sub>) where C<sub>n</sub> is the digital cycle of n points. For other digital images, we show that, if X has at least 4 points, then F(X) always contains the numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, and the cardinality of X. We give several examples, including C<sub>n</sub>, in which F(X) does not equal {0, 1, . . . , #X}.</p><p>We examine how fixed point sets are affected by rigidity, retraction, deformation retraction, and the formation of wedges and Cartesian products. We also study how fixed point sets in digital images can be arranged; e.g., for some digital images the fixed point set is always connected.</p>

We use interpolation to obtain a common fixed point result for a new type of Ćirić–Reich–Rus-type contraction mappings in metric space. We also introduce a new concept of g-interpolative Ćirić–Reich–Rus-type contractions in b-metric spaces, and we prove some fixed point results for such mappings. Our results extend and improve some results on the fixed point theory in the literature. We also give some examples to illustrate the given results.

Kannan maps have inspired a branch of metric fixed point theory devoted to the extension of the classical Banach contraction principle. The study of these maps in modular vector spaces was attempted timidly and was not successful. In this work, we look at this problem in the variable exponent sequence spaces lp(·). We prove the modular version of most of the known facts about these maps in metric and Banach spaces. In particular, our results for Kannan nonexpansive maps in the modular sense were never attempted before.

It is proved that a pair of reciprocally continuous and nonvacuously compatible single-valued and multivalued maps on a metric space possesses a coincidence. Besides addressing two historical problems in fixed point theory, this result is applied to obtain new general coincidence and fixed point theorems for single-valued and multivalued maps on metric spaces under tight minimal conditions.
