A fixed point theorem for contraction mappings

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1982
Let S be a closed subset of a Banach space E and f:S→E be a strict contraction mapping. Suppose there exists a mapping h:S→(0,1] such that (1−h(x))x+h(x)f(x)∈S for each x∈S. Then for any x0∈S, the sequence {xn} in S defined by xn+1=(1−h(xn))xn+h(xn)f(xn),

Photonics of Topological Magnetic Textures

open access: yesAdvanced Optical Materials, EarlyView.
Localized noncollinear magetic textures imprint their geometry and topology onto traversing photonic fields endowing them with orbital angular‐momentum, chirality, and magnetoelectric densities. Abstract Topological textures in magnetically ordered materials are an important case studies for fundamental research with promising applications in data ...

Lefschetz fixed point theorem for digital images

open access: yes, 2013
In this article we study the fixed point properties of digital images. Moreover, we prove the Lefschetz fixed point theorem for a digital image. We then give some examples about the fixed point property.

A fixed point theorem for set-valued quasi-contractions in b-metric spaces

open access: yesFixed Point Theory and Applications, 2012
In this article, we give a fixed point theorem for set-valued quasi-contraction maps in b-metric spaces. This theorem extends, unifies and generalizes several well known comparable results in the existing literature.

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

Fixed Point Results of Miculescu-Mihail, Mitrović-Hussain, and Boyd-Wong Type in Regular Semimetric Spaces

open access: yesJournal of Mathematics
We establish three types of nonlinear fixed point theorems in regular semimetric spaces. First, we generalize Miculescu and Mihail’s result, thereby unifying the Matkowski fixed point theorem and the Istrăţescu fixed point theorem concerning convex ...

A fixed point theorem for multivalued mappings

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2004
A generalization of the Leray-Schauder principle for multivalued mappings is given. Using this result, an existence theorem for an integral inclusion is obtained.

Mizoguchi-Takahashi’s Fixed Point Theorem with , Functions

open access: yes, 2013
We introduce the notion of generalized -admissible mappings. By using this notion, we prove a fixed point theorem. Our result generalizes Mizoguchi-Takahashi’s fixed point theorem. We also provide some examples to show the generality of our work.

Waveguide Photoactuators: Materials, Fabrication, and Applications

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Waveguide photoactuators convert guided light into mechanical motion. Their tethered‐flexible design enables minimally invasive surgery and confined‐space robotics. This review aims to guide materials selection, device design, and system integration, accelerating the transition of waveguide photoactuators from laboratory prototypes to versatile ...

A Generalization of Kannan's Fixed Point Theorem

open access: yesFixed Point Theory and Applications, 2009
In order to observe the condition of Kannan mappings, we prove a generalization of Kannan's fixed point theorem. Our theorem involves constants and we obtain the best constants to ensure a fixed point.
