\(\alpha\)-coupled fixed points and their application in dynamic programming. (English) Zbl 1474.90499

Summary: We introduce the definition of \(\alpha\)-coupled fixed point in the space of the bounded functions on a set \(S\) and we present a result about the existence and uniqueness of such points. Moreover, as an application of our result, we study the problem of existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of systems of functional equations arising in dynamic programming.
