In this paper, we prove several fixed point theorems, which are generalizations of the Banach contraction principle and Kannan’s fixed point theorem. Further we discuss a characterization of metric completeness.

and Applied Analysis 3 Let E be a real Banach space with a cone K. K introduces a partial order ≤ in E as x ≤ y if y − x ∈ K. Definition 2.1. For x, y ∈ E, the order interval 〈x, y〉 is defined as 〈 x, y 〉 { z ∈ E : x ≤ z ≤ y. 2.1 Theorem 2.2 Leray-Schauder Theorem 17 . Let E be a Banach space with C ⊆ E closed and convex. Assume U is relatively open subset of C with 0 ∈ U and F : U → C is a con...

Recently, Zhang and Song [Q. Zhang, Y. Song, Fixed point theory forgeneralized $varphi$-weak contractions,Appl. Math. Lett. 22(2009) 75-78] proved a common fixed point theorem for two mapssatisfying generalized $varphi$-weak contractions. In this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem fora family of compatible maps. In fact, a new generalization of Zhangand Song's theorem is given.

In this paper the multi-valued versions of some well-known hybrid fixed point theorems of Dhage [6, 7] in Banach algebras are proved. As an application, an existence theorem for a certain integral inclusion in Banach algebras is proved.

In this article, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for Hadamard-type sequential fractional order neutral functional differential equations. The Banach fixed point theorem, a nonlinear alternative of LeraySchauder type and Krasnoselski fixed point theorem are used to obtain the desired results. Examples illustrating the main results are presented. An initial value integral condi...

We employ the Borsuk-Krasnoselskii antipodal theorem to prove a new fixed point theorem in ordered Banach spaces. Then, the applicability of the result is shown by presenting sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions to initial value problems for first-order difference equations in Banach spaces. To prove that result we shall employ set valued analysis techniques.

In this paper, we shall establish sufficient conditions for the controllability on semi-infinite intervals for first and second order functional differential inclusions in Banach spaces. We shall rely on a fixed point theorem due to Ma, which is an extension on locally convex topological spaces, of Schaefer’s theorem. Moreover, by using the fixed point index arguments the implicit case is treated.

We establish a fixed point theorem for a continuous function f : X → E, where E is a Banach space and X ⊆ E. Our result, which involves multivalued contractions, contains the classical Schauder fixed point theorem as a special case. An application is presented.
