Some fixed point theorems for \(s\)-convex subsets in \(p\)-normed spaces (Q629289)

For \( 0 < p \leq 1\) and \(0 < s \leq p \), the concepts of \(p\)-norm of an element and of \(s\)-convex subset are defined in a real or complex linear space \(X\). Besides the uniqueness of the zero vector and the triangle inequality, the \(p\)-norm of the scalar multiple \(\lambda x\) equals \(|\lambda| ^{p}\) times the \(p\)-norm of \(x\). A~subset \(C\) of \(X\) is \(s\)-convex if \((1-t)^{1/s}\) + \(t^{1/s}\) belongs to \(C\) for every pair \(x, y \in C\) and \(t \in \) [0,1]. With these definitions, using homeomorphisms and routine arguments, the paper studies the existence of fixed points of operators on \(s\)-convex sets in \(p\)-normed spaces. As an application, an existence result for solutions for a game concerning \(s\)-convex-concave operators is given in product \(p\)-normed spaces.
