Geometric properties of discontinuous fixed point set of (epsilon-delta contractions and applications to neural networks)
Özet
In this paper, we prove some fixed point theorems under a convex combination of
generalized ( − δ) type rational contractions in which the fixed point may or may not be a
point of discontinuity. As a by-product we explore some new answers to the open question
posed by Rhoades (Contemp Math 72:233–245, 1988). Furthermore, we consider geometric
properties of the fixed point set of a self-mapping on a metric space. We define a new kind of
contractive mapping and prove that the fixed point set of this kind of contraction contains
a circle (resp. a disc). Several non-trivial examples are given to illustrate our results. Apart
from these, an application of discontinuous activation functions, frequently used in neural
networks is also given.
