A fixed point theorem for Meir-Keeler contractions in ordered metric spaces

[EN] The purpose of this paper is to present some fixed point theorems for Meir-Keeler contractions in a complete metric space endowed with a partial order. MSC: 47H10.

On some Banach space constants arising in nonlinear fixed point and eigenvalue theory

[EN] As is well known, in any infinite-dimensional Banach space one may find fixed point free self-maps of the unit ball, retractions of the unit ball onto its boundary, contractions of the unit sphere, and nonzero maps without positive eigenvalues and normalized eigenvectors. In this paper, we give upper and lower estimates, or even explicit formulas, for the minimal Lipschitz constant and measure of noncompactness of such maps.

A best proximity point theorem for Geraghty-contractions

[EN] The purpose of this paper is to provide sufficient conditions for the existence of a unique best proximity point for Geraghty-contractions.Our paper provides an extension of a result due to Geraghty (Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 40:604-608, 1973).
