Author Description

The fourth volume to take its contributions from the August 2001 "Seventh International Conference on Nonlinear Functional Analysis and Applications," held at a pair of Korean universities, this volume contains 21 papers devoted to questions of fixed point theory. Topics include acyclic maps on generalized convex spaces, the limit points of asymptotic ray-contractive operators, new classes of probabilistic contractions and applications to random operators, existence results for vector optimization problem on Banach space, and common fixed point theorems for multi-valued mappings in Menger PM-spaces.
