Fixed Points of Generalized Conjugations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Conjugation, or Legendre transformation, is a basic tool in convex analysis, rational mechanics, economics and optimization. It maps a function on a linear topological space into another one, defined in the dual of the linear space by coupling these space by meas of the duality product. Generalized conjugation extends classical conjugation to any pair of domains, using an arbitrary coupling function between these spaces. This generalization of conjugation is now being widely used in optima transportation problems, variational analysis and also optimization. If the coupled spaces are equal, generalized conjugations define order reversing maps of a family of functions into itself. In this case, is natural to ask for the existence of fixed points of the conjugation, that is, functions which are equal to their (generalized) conjugateds. Here we prove that any generalized symmetric conjugation has fixed points. The basic tool of the proof is a variational principle involving the order reversing feature of the conjugation. As an application of this abstract result, we will extend to real linear topological spaces a fixed-point theorem for Fitzpatrick’s functions, previously proved in Banach spaces. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 49J40 (primary), 49J52 (secondary).

متن کاملCommon fixed points of four maps using generalized weak contractivity and well-posedness
In this paper, we introduce the concept of generalized -contractivityof a pair of maps w.r.t. another pair. We establish a common fixed point result fortwo pairs of self-mappings, when one of these pairs is generalized -contractionw.r.t. the other and study the well-posedness of their fixed point problem. Inparticular, our fixed point result extends the main result of a recent paper ofQingnian ...
متن کاملFixed points of weak $psi$-quasi contractions in generalized metric spaces
In this paper, we introduce the notion of weak $psi$-quasi contraction in generalized metric spaces and using this notion we obtain conditions for the existence of fixed points of a self map in $D$-complete generalized metric spaces. We deduce some corollaries from our result and provide examples in support of our main result.
