Recent Progress in Fixed Point Theory and Applications (2015)

This special Issue originates from the 11th ICFPTA (11th International Conference on Fixed Point Theory and Applications 2015, (http://icfpta.org/) which was held in July 20-24, 2015 in Istanbul, Turkey, and was organized by the Department of Mathematics, Galatasaray University.

The special Issue is focused on latest achievements in fixed point theory and its applications. It reflects both state-of-the-art theoretical research and important recent advances in applications. This special issue will also focus on the iterative methods for finding the approximate solutions of various fixed point problems, equilibrium problems and optimization problems.
