A Lefschetz-type coincidence theorem for two maps f, g : X → Y from an arbitrary topological space to a manifold is given: Ifg = λfg, that is, the coincidence index is equal to the Lefschetz number. It follows that if λfg 6= 0 then there is an x ∈ X such that f(x) = g(x). In particular, the theorem contains well-known coincidence results for (i) X,Y manifolds, f boundary-preserving, and (ii) Y ...

In this paper, we first introduce the class of generalized nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. This class contains both the classes of nonexpansive and ̨-nonexpansive mappings. In addition, we obtain some fixed point and coincidence point theorems for generalized nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces. Our results extend some wellknown results in literature. 2010 Mathematic...

We give an extension to coincidence theory of some key ideas from Nielsen fixed point theory involving remnant properties of free group homomorphisms. In particular we extend Wagner’s theorem for computing Reidemeister classes for Wagner characteristic homomorphisms, which allows us to compute doubly twisted conjugacy classes in many cases. We also extend Kim’s method for homomorphisms with bou...

OBJECTIVES This study investigates coincidence of the most-prominent point and the mid-point on upper anterior teeth in relation to the use of straight-wire appliances. MATERIALS AND METHODS Alginate impressions of the upper jaw were obtained from forty Caucasian patients. Impressions were cast using hard dental stone. The teeth on each upper study model (canine to canine) were marked along t...

The aim of this paper is to establish random coincidence point results for weakly increasing random operators in the setting of ordered metric spaces by using generalized altering distance functions. Our results present random versions and extensions of some well-known results in the current literature.
