Abstract

The concepts of “weak/strong topological contraction” and a generalization of Banach contraction mappings called “ p -contraction” are introduced and used to prove fixed point theorems for self-mappings from a topological/metric space into itself satisfying topological contraction/metric p -contraction, respectively. Certain non-linear integral equations defined on C [ a , b ] satisfying generalized Lipschitzian conditions can easily be solved by applying these theorems. In the sequel, we shall study the possibility of optimally controlling the solution of the ordinary differential equation via dynamic programming.
