Common fixed point theorems for a weak distance in complete metric spaces

Using the concept of a w-distance, we obtain common fixed point theorems on complete metric spaces. Our results generalize the corresponding theorems of Jungck, Fisher, Dien, and Liu

Positive Solutions and Mann Iterations of a Fourth Order Nonlinear Neutral Delay Differential Equation

This paper deals with a fourth order nonlinear neutral delay differential equation. By using the Banach fixed point theorem, we establish the existence of uncountably many bounded positive solutions for the equation, construct several Mann iterative sequences with mixed errors for approximating these positive solutions, and discuss some error estimates between the approximate solutions and these positive solutions. Seven nontrivial examples are given

Results on common fixed points

We establish common fixed point theorems related with families of self mappings on metric spaces. Our results extend, improve, and unify the results due to Fisher (1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1984), Jungck (1988), and Ohta and Nikaido (1994)

Positive Solutions of a Second-Order Nonlinear Neutral Delay Difference Equation

The purpose of this paper is to study solvability of the second-order nonlinear neutral delay difference equation Δ(a(n,ya1n,…,yarn)Δ(yn+bnyn-τ))+f(n,yf1n,…,yfkn)=cn,  ∀n≥n0. By making use of the Rothe fixed point theorem, Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative theorem, Krasnoselskill fixed point theorem, and some new techniques, we obtain some sufficient conditions which ensure the existence of uncountably many bounded positive solutions for the above equation. Five nontrivial examples are given to illustrate that the results presented in this paper are more effective than the existing ones in the literature

Solvability of a Second Order Nonlinear Neutral Delay Difference Equation

This paper studies the second-order nonlinear neutral delay difference equation Δ[anΔ(xn+bnxn−τ)+f(n,xf1n,…,xfkn)]+g(n,xg1n,…,xgkn)=cn, n≥n0. By means of the Krasnoselskii and Schauder fixed point theorem and some new techniques, we get the existence results of uncountably many bounded nonoscillatory, positive, and negative solutions for the equation, respectively. Ten examples are given to illustrate the results presented in this paper
