Applied functional analysis has an extensive history. In the last century, this field has often been used in physical sciences, such as wave and heat phenomena. In recent decades, with the development of nonlinear functional analysis, this field has been used to model a variety of engineering, medical, and computer sciences. Two of the most significant issues in this area are modeling and optimization. Thus, we consider some recently published works on fixed point, variational inequalities, and optimization problems. These works could lead readers to obtain new novelties and familiarize them with some applications of this area.
