Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the coupled fixed point problem and the coupled best proximity problem for single-valued and multi-valued contraction type operators defined on cyclic representations of the space. The approach is based on fixed point results for appropriate operators generated by the initial problems.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the existence and uniqueness of solution for generalized Sturm–Liouville and Langevin equations formulated using Caputo–Hadamard fractional derivative operator in accordance with three nonlocal Hadamard fractional integral boundary conditions. With regard to this nonlinear boundary value problem, three popular fixed point theorems, namely, Krasnoselskii’s theorem, Leray–Schauder’s theorem and Banach contraction principle, are employed to theoretically prove and guarantee three novel theorems. The main outcomes of this work are verified and confirmed via several numerical examples.
Design/methodology/approach
In order to accomplish our purpose, three fixed point theorems are applied to the problem under consideration according to some conditions that have been established to this end. These theorems are Krasnoselskii's theorem, Leray Schauder's theorem and Banach contraction principle.
Findings
In accordance to the applied fixed point theorems on our main problem, three corresponding theoretical results are stated, proved, and then verified via several numerical examples.
Originality/value
The existence and uniqueness of solution for generalized Sturm–Liouville and Langevin equations formulated using Caputo–Hadamard fractional derivative operator in accordance with three nonlocal Hadamard fractional integral boundary conditions are studied. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this work is original and has not been published elsewhere.

Abstract
Purpose
To model a bargaining environment where the tactic of qualitative commitment (staking a principle) can have a demonstrably strong effect.
Design/methodology/approach
Amend the two‐person alternating offers model due to Rubinstein to include simultaneously pre‐announced stakes, and a mechanism for altering agents' utilities by reference to substantial costs of “surrendering a principle” (capitulation costs). Identify all stationary, pure strategy equilibria. Isolate subgame perfect Nash equilibria (SPNE).
Findings
SPNE is unique and offers efficient re‐allocation. For high enough capitulation costs, gains at equilibrium (relative to the bench‐mark game without commitment) result to the first‐mover. The shift in the equilibrium allocation is linear in cost.
Research limitations/implications
Symmetric fixed capitulation costs were assumed. Surrender of principle required introduction of discontinuities in the cost function (zero or fixed cost). No gradation of the cost was considered. Future directions could involve discovering what distortions are created by asymmetric costs, by gradations and from smoothing out of the discontinuity.
Practical implications
Practical implications at best point to the potential rewards available from identifying and introducing a high‐cost commitment tactics in a bargaining context.
Originality/value
The innovation is in the use of an explicit bargaining apparatus to examine the commitment tactic (previous research used an axiomatic treatment of bargaining), and in offering a model for the notion of a qualitative commitment. The result about the qualitative shift in the equilibrium is also new. The paper is thus a contribution to the understanding of how an agent may seek to influence the outcome of a game such as “divide the pie (the resource)” through the manufacture/introduction of a factor outside the original game.

Abstract
Purpose
A generalization of Ascoli–Arzelá theorem in Banach spaces is established. Schauder's fixed point theorem is used to prove the existence of a solution for a boundary value problem of higher order. The authors’ results are obtained under, rather, general assumptions.
Design/methodology/approach
First, a generalization of Ascoli–Arzelá theorem in Banach spaces in Cn is established. Second, this new generalization with Schauder's fixed point theorem to prove the existence of a solution for a boundary value problem of higher order is used. Finally, an illustrated example is given.
Findings
There is no funding.
Originality/value
In this work, a new generalization of Ascoli–Arzelá theorem in Banach spaces in Cn is established. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, Ascoli–Arzelá theorem is given only in Banach spaces of continuous functions. In the second part, this new generalization with Schauder's fixed point theorem is used to prove the existence of a solution for a boundary value problem of higher order, where the derivatives appear in the non-linear terms.
