Revisiting Ciric type nonunique fixed point theorems via interpolation

In this paper, we aim to revisit some non-unique fixed point theorems that were initiated by Ćirić, first.We consider also some natural consequences of the obtained results. In addition, we provide a simple example to illustrate the validity of the main result.

Geometrical properties of the space of idempotent probability measures

Although traditional and idempotent mathematics are "parallel'', by an application of the category theory we show that objects obtained the similar rules over traditional and idempotent mathematics must not be "parallel''. At first we establish for a compact metric space X the spaces P(X) of probability measures and I(X) idempotent probability measures are homeomorphic ("parallelism''). Then we construct an example which shows that the constructions P and I form distinguished functors from each other ("parallelism'' negation). Further for a compact Hausdorff space X we establish that the hereditary normality of I₃(X)\ X implies the metrizability of X.

Small and large inductive dimension for ideal topological spaces

<p>Undoubtedly, the small inductive dimension, ind, and the large inductive dimension, Ind, for topological spaces have been studied extensively, developing an important field in Topology. Many of their properties have been studied in details (see for example [1,4,5,9,10,18]). However, researches for dimensions in the field of ideal topological spaces are in an initial stage. The covering dimension, dim, is an exception of this fact, since it is a meaning of dimension, which has been studied for such spaces in [17]. In this paper, based on the notions of the small and large inductive dimension, new types of dimensions for ideal topological spaces are studied. They are called *-small and *-large inductive dimension, ideal small and ideal large inductive dimension. Basic properties of these dimensions are studied and relations between these dimensions are investigated.</p>

The periodic points of ε-contractive maps in fuzzy metric spaces

<p>In this paper, we introduce the notion of ε-contractive maps in fuzzy metric space (X, M, ∗) and study the periodicities of ε-contractive maps. We show that if (X, M, ∗) is compact and f : X −→ X is ε-contractive, then P(f) = ∩ ∞n=1f n (X) and each connected component of X contains at most one periodic point of f, where P(f) is the set of periodic points of f. Furthermore, we present two examples to illustrate the applicability of the obtained results.</p>

Orbitally discrete coarse spaces

<p>Given a coarse space (X, E), we endow X with the discrete topology and denote X ♯ = {p ∈ βG : each member P ∈ p is unbounded }. For p, q ∈ X ♯ , p||q means that there exists an entourage E ∈ E such that E[P] ∈ q for each P ∈ p. We say that (X, E) is orbitally discrete if, for every p ∈ X ♯ , the orbit p = {q ∈ X ♯ : p||q} is discrete in βG. We prove that every orbitally discrete space is almost finitary and scattered.</p>

On fixed point index theory for the sum of operators and applications to a class of ODEs and PDEs

The aim of this work is two fold: first we extend some results concerning the computation of the fixed point index for the sum of an expansive mapping and a $k$-set contraction obtained in \cite{DjebaMeb, Svet-Meb}, to the case of the sum $T+F$, where $T$ is a mapping such that $(I-T)$ is Lipschitz invertible and $F$ is a $k$-set contraction. Secondly, as illustration of some our theoretical results, we study the existence of positive solutions for two classes of differential equations, covering a class of first-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs for short) posed on the positive half-line as well as a class of partial differential equations (PDEs for short).

Periodic points of solenoidal automorphisms in terms of inverse limits

<p>In this paper, we describe the periodic points of automorphisms of a one dimensional solenoid, considering it as the inverse limit, lim←k (S 1 , γk) of a sequence (γk) of maps on the circle S 1 . The periodic points are discussed for a class of automorphisms on some higher dimensional solenoids also.</p>

Disconnection in the Alexandroff duplicate

<p>It was demonstrated in [2] that the Alexandroff duplicate of the Čech-Stone compactification of the naturals is not extremally disconnected. The question was raised as to whether the Alexandroff duplicate of a non-discrete extremally disconnected space can ever be extremally disconnected. We answer this question in the affirmative; an example of van Douwen is significant. In a slightly different direction we also characterize when the Alexandroff duplicate of a space is a P-space as well as when it is an almost P-space.</p>

Lipschitz integral operators represented by vector measures

<p>In this paper we introduce the concept of Lipschitz Pietsch-p-integral <br />mappings, (1≤p≤∞), between a metric space and a Banach space. We represent these mappings by an integral with respect to a vector<br />measure defined on a suitable compact Hausdorff space, obtaining in this way a rich factorization theory through the classical Banach spaces C(K), L_p(μ,K) and L_∞(μ,K). Also we show that this type of operators fits in the theory of composition Banach Lipschitz operator ideals. For p=∞, we characterize the Lipschitz Pietsch-∞-integral mappings by a factorization schema through a weakly compact operator. Finally, the relationship between these mappings and some well known Lipschitz operators is given.</p>

Digital homotopy relations and digital homology theories

In this paper we prove results relating to two homotopy relations and four homology theories developed in the topology of digital images.<br /><br />We introduce a new type of homotopy relation for digitally continuous functions which we call ``strong homotopy.'' Both digital homotopy and strong homotopy are natural digitizations of classical topological homotopy: the difference between them is analogous to the difference between digital 4-adjacency and 8-adjacency in the plane.<br /><br />We also consider four different digital homology theories: a simplicial homology theory by Arslan et al which is the homology of the clique complex, a singular simplicial homology theory by D. W. Lee, a cubical homology theory by Jamil and Ali, and a new kind of cubical homology for digital images with $c_1$-adjacency which is easily computed, and generalizes a construction by Karaca \&amp; Ege. We show that the two simplicial homology theories are isomorphic to each other, but distinct from the two cubical theories.<br /><br />We also show that homotopic maps have the same induced homomorphisms in the cubical homology theory, and strong homotopic maps additionally have the same induced homomorphisms in the simplicial theory.
