Because of its many diverse applications, fixed point theory has been a flourishing area of mathematical research for decades. Banach’s formulation of the contraction mapping principle in the early twentieth century signaled the advent of an intense interest in the metric related aspects of the theory. The metric fixed point theory in modular function spaces is closely related to the metric theory, in that it provides modular equivalents of norm and metric concepts. Modular spaces are extensions of the classical Lebesgue and Orlicz spaces, and in many instances, conditions cast in this framework are more natural and more easily verified than their metric analogs. In this chapter, we study the existence and construction of fixed points for monotone nonexpansive mappings acting in modular functions spaces equipped with a partial order or a graph structure.
