Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

To the best of our understanding, the fixed point theory has been a hot research area. It has played a vital role in handling nonlinear phenomena of the real world. There have been numerous results regarding the existence, uniqueness and approximation of fixed points of nonlinear operators, and these also find numerous applications in pure and applied sciences. In particular, it has vast applications in various areas arising from optimization, engineering, economics and biology. Many optimization problems, such as minimization, variational inequalities, equilibria and variational inclusions, are known to be resolved by it and to be very helpful in various areas such as economics, computer science and engineering. In addition, they find applications in machine learning. Many problems originating in these areas can be modeled as optimization problems. At present, the fixed point method is one of the most effective approaches for solving optimization problems. Therefore, it is worth mentioning that meaningful research works have been focused on developing fixed point iterative methods for finding solutions to optimization problems.

This Special Issue aims to collect and publish novel and original results on fixed point theory and its applications. We welcome papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following:

  1. iterative methods;
  2. optimization and control;
  3. variational problems;
  4. numerical problems in dynamical systems;
  5. theory, methods and applications of optimization;
  6. mathematical modeling via fixed point theory;
  7. applications of fixed point theory in engineering, science, and technology.

Recently, k -fuzzy metric spaces were introduced by connecting the degree of nearness of two points with k parameters (t1,t2,t3,,tk) and the authors presented an analogue of Grabiec’s fixed-point result in k-fuzzy metric spaces along with other necessary notions. The results presented only addressed continuous mappings. For discontinuous mappings, there is no result in k-fuzzy metric spaces. In this paper, we obtain some fixed-point results stating necessary conditions for the existence of fixed points of mappings eliminating the continuity requirement in k-fuzzy metric spaces. We illustrate the hypothesis of our findings with examples. We provide a common fixed-point theorem and fixed-point theorems for single-valued k-fuzzy Kannan type contractions. As an application, we use a fixed-point result to ensure the existence of solution of fractional differential equations. Full article

We consider the concept of fuzzy H-quasi-contraction (FH-QC for short) initiated by Ćirić in tripled fuzzy metric spaces (T-FMSs for short) and present a new fixed point theorem (FPT for short) for FH-QC in complete T-FMSs. As an application, we prove the corresponding results of the previous literature in setting fuzzy metric spaces (FMSs for short). Moreover, we obtain theorems of sufficient and necessary conditions which can be used to demonstrate the existence of fixed points. In addition, we construct relevant examples to illustrate the corresponding results. Finally, we show the existence and uniqueness of solutions for integral equations by applying our new results.
