Contraction mappings in -metric spaces
The notion of a contraction mapping for a probabilistic metric space recently introduced by T. L. Hicks is compared with the notion previously introduced by V. L. Sehgal and A. T. Bharucha-Reid. By means of appropriate examples, it is shown that these two notions are independent. It is further shown that every Hick's contraction on a PM space (S,F,tW) is an ordinary metric contraction with respect to a naturally defined metric on that space; and it is again pointed out that, in Menger spaces under...
We study a controllability problem for a system governed by a semilinear functional differential inclusion in a Banach space in the presence of impulse effects and delay. Assuming a regularity of the multivalued non-linearity in terms of the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness we do not require the compactness of the evolution operator generated by the linear part of inclusion. We find existence results for mild solutions of this problem under various growth conditions on the nonlinear part and...
In this paper, we study the controllability of nonlinear fractional integrodifferential systems with implicit fractional derivative. Sufficient conditions for controllability results are obtained through the notion of the measure of noncompactness of a set and Darbo's fixed point theorem. Examples are included to verify the result.
Let be a closed convex subset of a Hilbert space and a nonexpansive multivalued map with a unique fixed point such that . It is shown that we can construct a sequence of approximating fixed points sets converging in the sense of Mosco to .
