Fixed points of regular set-valued mappings in quasi-metric spaces

Metric fixed point theory is becoming increasingly significant across various fields, including data science and iterative methods for solving optimization problems. This paper aims to introduce new fixed point theorems for set-valued mappings under novel regularity conditions, such as orbital regularity and orbital pseudo-Lipschitzness. Instead of traditional metric spaces, we adopt the framework of quasi-metric spaces, motivated by the need to address problems in spaces that are not necessarily metric, such as function spaces of homogeneous type. We also explore the stability of the set of fixed points under variations of the set-valued mapping. Additionally, we provide estimates for the distances from a given point to the set of fixed points and between two sets of fixed points. Building on these findings, we extend the discussion to similar problems involving fixed, coincidence, and cyclic/double fixed points within this framework. Our results generalize recent findings from the literature, including those in Ait Mansour M, Bahraoui MA, El Bekkali A.
