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.

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.

Received: December 21, 2010 Accepted: January 7, 2011 doi:10.5539/jmr.v3n2p151 Abstract In this paper, we study fixed point theorems for multi-valued weak contractions. We show that the Picard projection iteration converges to a fixed point, give a rate of convergence and generalize Collage theorem. This work includes results on multi-valued contraction mappings studied by (Kunze, H.E., La Torr...

bunium persicum (boiss.) is an economically important medicinal plant growing wild in arid regions in iran. the essential oil of b. persicum (eobp) was extracted using hydrodistillation. a total of eighteen compounds, representing 96.14 % of the oil was identified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (gc/ms).the main compounds were cuminaldehyde (23.04 %), gamma-terpinene (14.48 %), trans-3-...

We correct the proof of Theorem 6 in the letter ‘‘Fixed point theory for cyclic weak φ-contraction’’ [E. Karapınar, Fixed point theory for cyclic weak φ-contraction, Appl. Math. Lett. 24 (6) (2011) 822–825]. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The purpose of this paper is to establish fixed point results for a single mapping in a partially ordered modular metric space, and to prove a common fixed point theorem for two self-maps satisfying some weak contractive inequalities.

Notice that best proximity point results have been studied to find necessaryconditions such that the minimization problemminx∈A∪Bd(x,Tx)has at least one solution, where T is a cyclic mapping defined on A∪B.A point p ∈ A∪B is a best proximity point for T if and only if thatis a solution of the minimization problem (2.1). Let (A,B) be a nonemptypair in a normed...
