Abstract:
The topic of fixed points in digital metric spaces has drawn yet more publications with assertions that are incorrect, incorrectly proven, trivial, or incoherently stated. We discuss publications with bad assertions concerning fixed points of self-functions on digital images, as in some of our previous papers.
