best approximation results provide an approximate solution to the fixed point equation $tx=x$, when the non-self mapping $t$ has no fixed point. in particular, a well-known best approximation theorem, due to fan cite{5}, asserts that if $k$ is a nonempty compact convex subset of a hausdorff locally convex topological vector space $e$ and $t:krightarrow e$ is a continuous mapping, then there exi...

In spacetime physics, we frequently need to consider a set of all spaces (‘universes’) as a whole. In particular, the concept of ‘closeness’ between spaces is essential. However there has been no established mathematical theory so far which deals with a space of spaces in a suitable manner for spacetime physics. Based on the scheme of the spectral representation of geometry, we construct a spac...

Very recently, Kuman et al. [P. Kumam, W. Sintunavarat, S. Sedghi, and N. Shobkolaei. Common Fixed Point of Two $R$-Weakly Commuting Mappings in $b$-Metric Spaces. Journal of Function Spaces, Volume 2015, Article ID 350840, 5 pages] obtained some interesting common fixed point results for two mappings satisfying generalized contractive condition in $b$-metric space without the assumption of the...

the geometry of a system of second order differential equations is the geometry of a semispray, which is a globally defined vector field on tm. the metrizability of a given semispray is of special importance. in this paper, the metric associated with the semispray s is applied in order to study some types of foliations on the tangent bundle which are compatible with sode structure. indeed, suff...

in this paper, the notion of cyclic $varphi$-contraction in fuzzymetric spaces is introduced and a fixed point theorem for this typeof mapping is established. meantime, an example is provided toillustrate this theorem. the main result shows that a self-mappingon a g-complete fuzzy metric space has a unique fixed point if itsatisfies the cyclic $varphi$-contraction. afterwards, some results inco...

in this paper, several xed point theorems for t-contraction of two maps on cone metric spaces under normality condition are proved. obtained results extend and generalize well-known comparable results in the literature.
