On Boyd-Wong-type fixed point results

Authors: Aranđelović Ivan D

Keywords: fixed point; Picard iterates; symmetric space

Abstract:

This talk (paper) gives a survey of recent results in the theory of Boyd-Wong-type contractions and its aim is to present a simple and unified treatment to this theory. In final part of paper, we present one recent fixed point result for Boyd-Wong-type contractions defined on symmetric spaces.
