Description
Cambridge India Fixed Point Theory And Variational Principles In Metric Spaces by Qamrul Hasan Ansar And Id R Sahu
The book is designed for undergraduates, graduates, and researchers of mathematics studying fixed point theory or nonlinear analysis. It deals with the fixed point theory for not only single-valued maps but also set-valued maps. The text is divided into three parts: fixed point theory for single-valued mappings, continuity and fixed point aspects of set-valued analysis, and variational principles and their equilibrium problems. It comprises a comprehensive study of these topics and includes all important results derived from them. The applications of fixed point principles and variational principles, and their generalizations to differential equations and optimization are covered in the text. An elementary treatment of the theory of equilibrium problems and equilibrium version of Ekeland's variational principle is also provided. New topics such as equilibrium problems, variational principles, Caristi's fixed point theorem, and Takahashi's minimization theorem with their applications are also included.
