Abstract. This paper deals with fixed point theory and fixed point property in minimal spaces. We will prove that under some conditions f : (X,M) → (X,M) has a fixed point if and only if for each m-open cover {Bα} for X there is at least one x ∈ X such that both x and f(x) belong to a common Bα. Further, it is shown that if (X,M) has the fixed point property, then its minimal retract subset enj...

In this paper, we first establish a new fixed point theorem for a Meir-Keeler type condition. As an application, we derive a simultaneous generalization of Banach contraction principle, Kannan's fixed point theorem, Chatterjea's fixed point theorem and other fixed point theorems. Some new fixed point theorems are also obtained.

We study the critical phenomena of a random field O(N) spin model near the lower critical dimension, by means of the renormalization group method and the 1/N expansion. We treat the O(N) nonlinear σ model including a random field and all the random anisotropy terms, and calculate the one-loop beta function for a linear combination of them in d = 4+ 2 under the assumption of replica symmetry. At...

in this paper, we study sufficient conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions of three point boundary vale problem for p-laplacian fractional order differential equations. we use schauder's fixed point theorem for existence of solutions and concavity of the operator for uniqueness of solution. we include some examples to show the applicability of our results.
