Soft Set Theory: Generalizations, Fixed Point Theorems, and Applications

Tesis por compendioMathematical models have extensively been used in problems related to engineering, computer sciences, economics, social, natural and medical sciences etc. It has become very common to use mathematical tools to solve, study the behavior and different aspects of a system and its different subsystems. Because of various uncertainties arising in real world situations, methods of classical mathematics may not be successfully applied to solve them. Thus, new mathematical theories such as probability theory and fuzzy set theory have been introduced by mathematicians and computer scientists to handle the problems associated with the uncertainties of a model. But there are certain deficiencies pertaining to the parametrization in fuzzy set theory. Soft set theory aims to provide enough tools in the form of parameters to deal with the uncertainty in a data and to represent it in a useful way. The distinguishing attribute of soft set theory is that unlike probability theory and fuzzy set theory, it does not uphold a precise quantity. This attribute has facilitated applications in decision making, demand analysis, forecasting, information sciences, mathematics and other disciplines. In this thesis we will discuss several algebraic and topological properties of soft sets and fuzzy soft sets. Since soft sets can be considered as setvalued maps, the study of fixed point theory for multivalued maps on soft topological spaces and on other related structures will be also explored. The contributions of the study carried out in this thesis can be summarized as follows: i) Revisit of basic operations in soft set theory and proving some new results based on these modifications which would certainly set a new dimension to explore this theory further and would help to extend its limits further in different directions. Our findings can be applied to develop and modify the existing literature on soft topological spaces ii) Defining some new classes of mappings and then proving the existence and uniqueness of such mappings which can be viewed as a positive contribution towards an advancement of metric fixed point theory iii) Initiative of soft fixed point theory in framework of soft metric spaces and proving the results lying at the intersection of soft set theory and fixed point theory which would help in establishing a bridge between these two flourishing areas of research. iv) This study is also a starting point for the future research in the area of fuzzy soft fixed point theory.Abbas, M.

Convergence and almost sure T-stability for a random iterative sequence generated by a generalized random operator

The aim of this paper is to introduce the concept of generalized φ-weakly contraction random operators and then to prove the convergence and almost sure T-stability of Mann and Ishikawa-type random iterative schemes. We also prove that a random fixed point of such operators is Bochner integrable. Our results generalize, extend and improve various results in the existing literature including the results in Berinde (Bul. ¸Stiin¸t. - Univ. Baia Mare, Ser. B Fasc. Mat.-Inform. 18(1):7-14, 2002), Olatinwo (J. Adv. Math. Stud. 1(1):5-14, 2008), Rhoades (Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 196:161-176, 1974; Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 21(1):1-9, 1990; Indian J. Pure Appl.

Fixed points and best approximation in Menger convex metric spaces

summary:We obtain necessary conditions for the existence of fixed point and approximate fixed point of nonexpansive and quasi nonexpansive maps defined on a compact convex subset of a uniformly convex complete metric space. We obtain results on best approximation as a fixed point in a strictly convex metric space

Common fixed point theorems for occasionally weakly compatible mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition

We obtain several fixed point theorems for a class of operators called occasionally weakly compatible maps defined on a symmetric space satisfying a generalized contractive condition. These results establish some of the most general fixed point theorems for four maps. Our theorem generalizes Theorem 1 of [A. Aliouche, A common fixed point theorem for weakly compatible mappings in symmetric spaces satisfying a contractive condition of integral type, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 322(2006),796-802] and Theorem 1 of [X. Zhang, Common fixed point theorems for some new generalized contractive type mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 333(2007), 780-786] and those contained therein

A Simulation function approach for best proximity point and variational inequality problems

We study sufficient conditions for existence of solutions to the global optimization problem min(x is an element of A) d(x, fx), where A, B are nonempty subsets of a metric space (X, d) and f : A -> B belongs to the class of proximal simulative contraction mappings. Our results unify, improve and generalize various comparable results in the existing literature on this topic. As an application of the obtained theorems, we give some solvability theorems of a variational inequality problem

Fixed points of mappings satisfying contractive condition of integral type in modular spaces endowed with a graph

Jachymski (Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 136:1359-1373, 2008) gave a modified version of a Banach fixed point theorem on a metric space endowed with a graph. The aim of this paper is to present fixed point results of mappings satisfying integral type contractive conditions in the framework of modular spaces endowed with a graph. Some examples are presented to support the results proved herein. Our results generalize and extend various comparable results in the existing literature.http://link.springer.com/journal/11784hb201
