Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces with applications to online problems
نویسندگان
چکیده
A nearly logarithmic lower bound on the randomized competitive ratio for the metrical task systems problem is presented. This implies a similar lower bound for the extensively studied K-server problem. The proof is based on Ramsey-type theorems for metric spaces, that state that every metric space contains a large subspace which is approximately a hierarchically well-separated tree (and in particular an ultrametric). These Ramsey-type theorems may be of independent interest. © 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

COUPLED FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR GENERALIZED Φ-MAPPINGS SATISFYING CONTRACTIVE CONDITION OF INTEGRAL TYPE ON CONE METRIC SPACES

متن کاملFixed Point Theorems For Weak Contractions in Dualistic Partial Metric Spaces
In this paper, we describe some topological properties of dualistic partial metric spaces and establish some fixed point theorems for weak contraction mappings of rational type defined on dual partial metric spaces. These results are generalizations of some existing results in the literature. Moreover, we present examples to illustrate our result.
متن کاملBhaskar-Lakshmikantham type results for monotone mappings in partially ordered metric spaces
In this paper, coupled xed point results of Bhaskar-Lakshmikantham type [T. Gnana Bhaskar, V.Lakshmikantham, Fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces and applications, NonlinearAnalysis 65 (2006) 1379-1393] are extend, generalized, unify and improved by using monotonemappings instead mappings with mixed monotone property. Also, an example is given to supportthese improvements.
متن کاملFixed point theorems for generalized quasi-contractions in cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras without the assumption of normality with applications
In this paper, we introduce the concept of generalized quasi-contractions in the setting of cone $b$-metric spaces over Banach algebras. By omitting the assumption of normality we establish common fixed point theorems for the generalized quasi-contractions with the spectral radius $r(lambda)$ of the quasi-contractive constant vector $lambda$ satisfying $r(lambda)in [0,frac{1}{s})$ in the set...
متن کاملCoupled common fixed point theorems for $varphi$-contractions in probabilistic metric spaces and applications
In this paper, we give some new coupled common fixed point theorems for probabilistic $varphi$-contractions in Menger probabilistic metric spaces. As applications of the main results, we obtain some coupled common fixed point theorems in usual metric spaces and fuzzy metric spaces. The main results of this paper improvethe corresponding results given by some authors. Finally, we give one exa...
