Fixed points of nonlinear and asymptotic contractions in the modular space (Q2472070): Difference between revisions

The main result of the paper is the following fixed point theorem for nonlinear contractions in modular spaces. Theorem 2.1.\ Let \(X_{\rho}\) be a \(\rho\)-complete modular space, where \(\rho\) satisfies the following condition: \[ \rho(2x_n)\to 0 \text{ as } n\to +\infty \text{ whenever } \rho(x_n)\to 0 \text{ as } n\to +\infty. \] Assume that \(\psi:\mathbb{R}_+\to \mathbb{R}_+\) is an increasing, upper semicontinuous function such that \(\psi(t)<t\) for each \(t>0\). Let \(B\) be a \(\rho\)-closed subset of \(X_{\rho}\) and \(T:B\to B\) be an operator such that there exist \(c,l\in \mathbb{R}_+\) with \(c>l\) so that \[ \rho(c(Tx-Ty))\leq \psi(\rho(l(x-y))) \text{ for all } x,y\in B. \] Then \(T\) has a fixed point. An asymptotic version of this result is also given.
