Smooth Banach spaces and approximations

If E and F are real Banach spaces let C^p,q(E, F) O ≤ q ≤ p ≤ ∞, denote those maps from E to F which have p continuous Frechet derivatives of which the first q derivatives are bounded. A Banach space E is defined to be C^p,q smooth if C^p,q(E,R) contains a nonzero function with bounded support. This generalizes the standard C^p smoothness classification.

If an L^p space, p ≥ 1, is C^q smooth then it is also C^q,q smooth so that in particular L^p for p an even integer is C^∞,∞ smooth and L^p for p an odd integer is C^p-1,p-1 smooth. In general, however, a C^p smooth B-space need not be C^p,p smooth. C_o is shown to be a non-C^2,2 smooth B-space although it is known to be C^∞ smooth. It is proved that if E is C^p,1 smooth then C_o(E) is C^p,1 smooth and if E has an equivalent C^p norm then c_o(E) has an equivalent C^p norm.

Various consequences of C^p,q smoothness are studied. If f ϵ C^p,q(E,F), if F is C^p,q smooth and if E is non-C^p,q smooth, then the image under f of the boundary of any bounded open subset U of E is dense in the image of U. If E is separable then E is C^p,q smooth if and only if E admits C^p,q partitions of unity; E is C^p,psmooth, p ˂∞, if and only if every closed subset of E is the zero set of some C^P function.

f ϵ C^q(E,F), 0 ≤ q ≤ p ≤ ∞, is said to be C_p,q approximable on a subset U of E if for any ϵ ˃ 0 there exists a g ϵ C^p(E,F) satisfying

sup/xϵU, O≤k≤q ‖ D^k f(x) - D^k g(x) ‖ ≤ ϵ.

It is shown that if E is separable and C^p,q smooth and if f ϵ C^q(E,F) is C_p,q approximable on some neighborhood of every point of E, then F is C_p,q approximable on all of E.

In general it is unknown whether an arbitrary function in C¹(l², R) is C_2,1 approximable and an example of a function in C¹(l², R) which may not be C_2,1 approximable is given. A weak form of C_∞,q, q≥1, to functions in C^q(l², R) is proved: Let {U_α} be a locally finite cover of l² and let {T_α} be a corresponding collection of Hilbert-Schmidt operators on l². Then for any f ϵ C^q(l²,F) such that for all α

sup ‖ D^k(f(x)-g(x))[T_αh]‖ ≤ 1.

Coincidence point theorems in quasi-metric spaces without assuming the mixed monotone property and consequences in G-metric spaces

In this paper, we present some coincidence point theorems in the setting of quasi-metric spaces that can be applied to operators which not necessarily have the mixed monotone property. As a consequence, we particularize our results to the field of metric spaces, partially ordered metric spaces and G-metric spaces, obtaining some very recent results. Finally, we show how to use our main theorems to obtain coupled, tripled, quadrupled and multidimensional coincidence point results.

Common Fixed Points of Generalized Rational Type Cocyclic Mappings in Multiplicative Metric Spaces

The aim of this paper is to present fixed point result of mappings satisfying a generalized rational contractive condition in the setup of multiplicative metric spaces. As an application, we obtain a common fixed point of a pair of weakly compatible mappings. Some common fixed point results of pair of rational contractive types mappings involved in cocyclic representation of a nonempty subset of a multiplicative metric space are also obtained. Some examples are presented to support the results proved herein. Our results generalize and extend various results in the existing literature.

On contractive cyclic fuzzy maps in metric spaces and some related results on fuzzy best proximity points and fuzzy fixed points

This paper investigates some properties of cyclic fuzzy maps in metric spaces. The convergence of distances as well as that of sequences being generated as iterates defined by a class of contractive cyclic fuzzy mapping to fuzzy best proximity points of (non-necessarily intersecting adjacent subsets) of the cyclic disposal is studied. An extension is given for the case when the images of the points of a class of contractive cyclic fuzzy mappings restricted to a particular subset of the cyclic disposal are allowed to lie either in the same subset or in its next adjacent one.

Convergence Properties and Fixed Points of Two General Iterative Schemes with Composed Maps in Banach Spaces with Applications to Guaranteed Global Stability

This paper investigates the boundedness and convergence properties of two general iterative processes which involve sequences of self-mappings on either complete metric or Banach spaces. The sequences of self-mappings considered in the first iterative scheme are constructed by linear combinations of a set of self-mappings, each of them being a weighted version of a certain primary self-mapping on the same space. The sequences of self-mappings of the second iterative scheme are powers of an iteration-dependent scaled version of the primary self-mapping. Some applications are also given to the important problem of global stability of a class of extended nonlinear polytopic-type parameterizations of certain dynamic systems.

An approach version of fuzzy metric spaces including an ad hoc fixed point theorem

In this paper, inspired by two very different, successful metric theories such us the real view-point of Lowen's approach spaces and the probabilistic field of Kramosil and Michalek's fuzzymetric spaces, we present a family of spaces, called fuzzy approach spaces, that are appropriate to handle, at the same time, both measure conceptions. To do that, we study the underlying metric interrelationships between the above mentioned theories, obtaining six postulates that allow us to consider such kind of spaces in a unique category. As a result, the natural way in which metric spaces can be embedded in both classes leads to a commutative categorical scheme. Each postulate is interpreted in the context of the study of the evolution of fuzzy systems. First properties of fuzzy approach spaces are introduced, including a topology. Finally, we describe a fixed point theorem in the setting of fuzzy approach spaces that can be particularized to the previous existing measure spaces.
