Applications of proximal calculus to fixed point theory on Riemannian manifolds

Abstract

We prove a general form of a fixed point theorem for mappings from a Riemannian manifold into itself which are obtained as perturbations of a given mapping by means of general operations which in particular include the cases of sum (when a Lie group structure is given on the manifold) and composition. In order to prove our main result we develop a theory of proximal calculus in the setting of Riemannian manifolds.
