The aim of this note is to give a sufficient condition for pairs of functions to have a convex separator when the underlying structure is a Cartan--Hadamard manifold, or more generally: a reduced Birkhoff--Beatley system. Some exotic behavior of convex hulls are also studied.
The renorming technique allows one to apply the Banach Contraction Principle for maps which are not contractions with respect to the original metric. This method was invented by Bielecki and manifested in an extremely elegant proof of the Global Existence and Uniqueness Theorem for ODEs. The present paper provides further extensions and applications of Bielecki's method to problems stemming from the theory of functional analysis and functional equations.
There are several extensions of the classical Banach Fixed Point Theorem in technical literature. A branch of generalizations replaces usual contractivity by weaker but still effective assumptions. Our note follows this stream, presenting an elementary proof for a known fixed point result. Some applications are also considered.
A branch of generalizations of the Banach Fixed Point Theorem replaces contractivity by a weaker but still effective property. The aim of the present note is to extend the contraction principle in this spirit for such complete semimetric spaces that fulfill an extra regularity property. The stability of fixed points is also investigated in this setting. As applications, fixed point results are presented for several important generalizations of metric spaces.
