Fixed Point Theory and Applications

Fixed Point Theory and Applications


Welcome to the future Book on Fixed Point Theory and Applications on the Web. I would like to ask anyone who is interested to be part of this wonderful project. The idea is very simple: Choose one of the following topics and write down something in Latex, mail it to me and I will be glad to put it here under the author's name. This way this project will not be a burden on one person.
