Coupled Optimal Results with an Application to Nonlinear Integral Equations

In the present work, we consider the best proximal problem related to a coupled mapping, which we define using control functions and weak inequalities. As a consequence, we obtain some results on coupled fixed points. Our results generalize some recent results in the literature. Also, as an application of the results obtained, we present the solution to a system of a coupled Fredholm nonlinear integral equation. Our work is supported by several illustrations.

Applications of Coupled Fixed Points for Multivalued Maps in the Equilibrium in Duopoly Markets and in Aquatic Ecosystems

We have obtained a new class of ordered pairs of multivalued maps that have pairs of coupled fixed points. We illustrate the main result with two examples that cover a wide range of models. We apply the main result in models in duopoly markets to get a market equilibrium and in aquatic ecosystems, also to get an equilibrium.

Solution of Some Impulsive Differential Equations via Coupled Fixed Point

In this article, we employ the notion of coupled fixed points on a complete b-metric space endowed with a graph to give sufficient conditions to guarantee a solution of system of differential equations with impulse effects. We derive recisely some new coupled fixed point theorems under some conditions and then apply our results to achieve our goal.

Fixed points and sets of multivalued contractions: an advanced survey with some new results

The existence of fixed points and, in particular, coupled fixed points is investigated for multivalued contractions in complete metric spaces. Multivalued coupled fractals are furthermore explored as coupled fixed points of certain induced operators in hyperspaces, i.e. as coupled compact subsets of the original spaces. The structure of fixed point sets is considered in terms of absolute retracts. We also formulate a continuation principle for multivalued contractions as a nonlinear alternative based on the topological essentiality. Two illustrative examples about coupled multivalued fractals are supplied.

Using the Supremum Form of Auxiliary Functions to Study the Common Coupled Coincidence Points in Fuzzy Semi-Metric Spaces

This paper investigates the common coupled coincidence points and common coupled fixed points in fuzzy semi-metric spaces. The symmetric condition is not necessarily satisfied in fuzzy semi-metric space. Therefore, four kinds of triangle inequalities are taken into account in order to study the Cauchy sequences. Inspired by the intuitive observations, the concepts of rational condition and distance condition are proposed for the purpose of simplifying the discussions.

A variational principle, coupled fixed points and market equilibrium

We present a possible kind of generalization of the notion of ordered pairs of cyclic maps and coupled fixed points and its application in modelling of equilibrium in oligopoly markets. We have obtained sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of coupled fixed in complete metric spaces. We illustrate one possible application of the results by building a pragmatic model on competition in oligopoly markets. To achieve this goal, we use an approach based on studying the response functions of each market participant, thus making it possible to address both Cournot and Bertrand industrial structures with unified formal method.We show that whenever the response functions of the two players are identical, then the equilibrium will be attained at equal levels of production and equal prices. The response functions approach makes it also possible to take into consideration different barriers to entry. By fitting to the response functions rather than the profit maximization of the payoff functions problem we alter the classical optimization problem to a problem of coupled fixed points, which has the benefit that considering corner optimum, corner equilibrium and convexity condition of the payoff function can be skipped.
