Various covering spectra for complete metric spaces

Covering compact metric spaces greedily

Abstract. A general greedy approach to construct coverings of compact metric spaces by metric balls is given and analyzed. The analysis is a continuous version of Chvátal’s analysis of the greedy algorithm for the weighted set cover problem. The approach is demonstrated in an exemplary manner to construct efficient coverings of the n-dimensional sphere and n-dimensional Euclidean space to give ...

Complete Metric Spaces

Complete Generalized Metric Spaces

The well-known Banach’s fixed point theorem asserts that ifD X, f is contractive and X, d is complete, then f has a unique fixed point inX. It is well known that the Banach contraction principle 1 is a very useful and classical tool in nonlinear analysis. In 1969, Boyd and Wong 2 introduced the notion ofΦ-contraction. A mapping f : X → X on a metric space is called Φ-contraction if there exists...

Generalized multivalued $F$-weak contractions on complete metric spaces

In this paper,  we introduce the notion of  generalized multivalued  $F$- weak contraction and we prove some fixed point theorems related to introduced  contraction for multivalued mapping in complete metric spaces.  Our results extend and improve the results announced by many others with less hypothesis. Also, we give some illustrative examples.
