Fixed points of asymptotic pointwise contractions in modular spaces

Abstract

AbstractKirk and Xu introduced the concept of asymptotic pointwise contractions. In this paper, we investigate these kinds of mappings in modular spaces. Moreover, the fixed point theorem for asymptotic pointwise nonexpansive mappings in modular spaces is also studied. The results of this paper improve and extend the results of Razani et al. [A. Razani, E. Nabizadeh, M. Beyg Mohamadi, S. Homaei Pour, Fixed points of nonlinear and asymptotic contractions in the modular spaces, Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2007 (2007)], and Kirk and Xu [W. A. Kirk, Hong-Kun Xu, Asymptotic pointwise contractions, Nonlinear Analysis 69 (2008) 4706–4712] to modular spaces
