Fixed point theorems for some generalized multivalued nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce a condition on multivalued mappings which is a multivalued version of condition (C_λ) defined by Garcia-Falset et al. (2011) [3]. It is shown here that some of the classical fixed point theorems for multivalued nonexpansive mappings can be extended to mappings satisfying this condition. Our results generalize the results in Lim (1974), Lami Dozo (1973), Kirk and Massa (1990), Garcia-Falset et al. (2011), Dhompongsa et al. (2009) and Abkar and Eslamian (2010) [4], [5], [6], [3], [7] and [8] and many others.

Approximation theorems for total quasi-?-asymptotically nonexpansive mappings with applications

The purpose of this article is to prove some approximation theorems of common fixed points for countable families of total quasi-?-asymptotically nonexpansive mappings which contain several kinds of mappings as its special cases in Banach spaces. In order to get the approximation theorems, the hybrid algorithms are presented and are used to approximate the common fixed points. Using this result, we also discuss the problem of strong convergence concerning the maximal monotone operators in a Banach space. The results of this article extend and improve the results of Matsushita and Takahashi [S. Matsushita, W.

Modified block iterative algorithm for Quasi-?-asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and equilibrium problem in banach spaces

The purpose of this paper is to propose a modified block iterative algorithm for find a common element of the set of common fixed points of an infinite family of quasi-?-asymptotically nonexpansive mappings and the set of an equilibrium problem. Under suitable conditions, some strong convergence theorems are established in a uniformly smooth and strictly convex Banach space with the Kadec-Klee property. As an application, at the end of the paper a numerical example is given. The results presented in the paper improve and extend the corresponding results in Qin et al. [Convergence theorems of common elements for equilibrium problems and fixed point problem in Banach spaces, J. Comput. Appl. Math., 225, 2009, 20-30], Zhou et al.

Approximation of signals of class Lip(α, p) by linear operators

Mittal, Rhoades [5], [6], [7] and [8] and Mittal et al. [9] and [10] have initiated a study of error estimates E_n(f) through trigonometric-Fourier approximation (tfa) for the situations in which the summability matrix T does not have monotone rows. In this paper we continue the work. Here we extend two theorems of Leindler [4], where he has weakened the conditions on {p_n} given by Chandra [2], to more general classes of triangular matrix methods. Our Theorem also partially generalizes Theorem 4 of Mittal et al. [11] by dropping the monotonicity on the elements of matrix rows, which in turn generalize the results of Quade [15].     

Convergence theorem for the common solution for a finite family of ?-strongly accretive operator equations

The purpose of this paper is to study a strong convergence of multi-step iterative scheme to a common solution for a finite family of uniformly continuous ?-strongly accretive operator equations in an arbitrary Banach space. As a consequence, the strong convergence theorem for the multi-step iterative sequence to a common fixed point for finite family of ?-strongly pseudocontractive mappings is also obtained. The results presented in this paper thus improve and extend the corresponding results of Inchan [6], Kang [8] and [9] and many others.     

Strong convergence of iterative methods for k-strictly pseudo-contractive mappings in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce composite iterative schemes for finding fixed points of k-strictly pseudo-contractive mappings for some 0?k<1 in Hilbert spaces. Then, under certain different control conditions, we establish strong convergence theorems on the composite iterative schemes. The main theorems improve and generalize the recent corresponding results of Cho et al. [5] and Marino and Xu [9] as well as Halpern [6], Wittmann [12], Moudafi [10] and Xu [14].     

Convergence theorems for semigroup-type families of non-self mappings

Motivated by a paper Chidume and Zegeye [Strong convergence theorems for common fixed points of uniformly L-Lipschitzian pseudocontractive semi-groups, Applicable Analysis, 86 (2007), 353–366], we prove several strong convergence theorems for a family (not necessarily a semigroup) ℱ = {T(t): t ∈ G} of nonexpansive or pseudocontractive non-self mappings in a reflexive strictly convex Banach space with a uniformly Gateaux differentiable norm, where G is an unbounded subset of ℝ⁺. Our results extend and improve the corresponding ones byMatsushita and Takahashi [Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive nonself-mappings without boundary conditions,Nonlinear Analysis, 68 (2008), 412–419],Morales and Jung [Convergence of paths for pseudo-contractive mappings in Banach spaces, Proceedings of American Mathematical Society, 128 (2000), 3411–3419], Song [Iterative approximation to common fixed points of a countable family of nonexpansive mappings, Applicable Analysis, 86 (2007), 1329–1337], Song and Xu [Strong convergence theorems for nonexpansive semigroup in Banach spaces, Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, 338 (2008), 152–161], Wong, Sahu, and Yao [Solving variational inequalities involving nonexpansive type mappings, Nonlinear Analysis, (2007) doi:10.1016/j.na. 2007.11.025] in the context of a non-semigroup family of non-self mappings.      

On fractional integration formulae for Aleph functions

This paper is devoted to the study of a new special function, which is called, according to the symbol used to represent this function, as an Aleph function. This function is an extension of the I-function, which itself is a generalization of the well-known and familiar G- and H-functions in one variable. In this paper, a notation and complete definition of the Aleph function will be presented. Fractional integration of the Aleph functions, in which the argument of the Aleph function contains a factor t^λ(1 − t)^μ, λ, μ > 0, will be investigated. The results derived are of most general character and include many results given earlier by various authors including Kilbas [10], Kilbas and Saigo [11] and Galué [6] and others. The results obtained form the key formulae for the results on various potentially useful special functions of physical and biological sciences and technology available in the literature.     

On the efficiency of Newton and Broyden numerical methods in the investigation of the regular polygon problem of (N + 1) bodies

Numerical methods of finding the roots of a system of non-linear algebraic equations are treated in this paper. This paper attempts to give an answer to the selection of the most efficient method in a complex problem of Celestial Dynamics, the so-called ring problem of (N + 1) bodies. We apply Newton and Broyden’s method to these problems and we investigate, by means of their use, the planar equilibrium points, the five equilibrium zones, which are symbolized by A₁, A₂, B, C₂, and C₁ (by order of appearance from the center O to the periphery of the imaginary circle on which the primaries lie) [T.J. Kalvouridis, A planar case of the N + 1 body problem: the ring problem. Astrophys. Space Sci. 260 (3) (1999) 309-325], and the attracting regions of the system. The efficiency of these methods is studied through a comparative process. The obtained results are demonstrated in figures and are discussed.     

Multiscale analysis and numerical algorithm for the Schrödinger equations in heterogeneous media

In solid state physics, the most widely used techniques to calculate the electronic levels in nanostructures are the effective masses approximation (EMA) and its extension the multiband k · p method (see [9]). They have been particularly successful in the case of heterostructures (see, e.g. [4], [9] and [11]). This paper discusses the multiscale analysis of the Schrödinger equation with rapidly oscillating coefficients. The new contributions obtained in this paper are the determination of the convergence rate for the approximate solutions, the definition of boundary layer solutions, and higher-order correctors. Consequently, a multiscale finite element method and some numerical results are presented. As one of the main results of this paper, we give a reasonable interpretation why the effective mass approximation is very accurate for calculating the band structures in semiconductor in the vicinity of Γ point, from the viewpoint of mathematics.     

Tripled coincidence theorems for contractive type mappings in partially ordered metric spaces

In this paper we introduce the concept of a tripled coincidence point for a pair of nonlinear contractive mappings F : X³ → X and g : X → X. The obtained results extend recent coincidence theorems due to ?iri? and Lakshmikantham [V. Lakshmikantham, L. ?iri?, L., Coupled fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractions in partially ordered metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 70 (2009) 4341-4349].     

Strong convergence theorems for a common fixed point of two hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings

The purpose of this article is to prove strong convergence theorems for common fixed points of two closed hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. In order to get the strong convergence theorems, the monotone hybrid algorithms are presented and are used to approximate the common fixed points. Finally, a new simplified hybrid algorithm has been proposed and relative convergence theorem has been proved by using the new method for proofs. The results of this article modify and improve the results of Matsushita, Takahashi [S. Matsushita, W. Takahashi, A strong convergence theorem for relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space, J. Approx. Theory 134 (2005) 257–266] and the results of Plubtieng, Ungchittrakool [S. Plubtieng, K. Ungchittrakool, Strong convergence theorems for a common fixed point of two relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space, J. Approx. Theory 149 (2007) 103–115], and many others.     

Stability in cellular neural networks with a piecewise constant argument

In this paper, by using the concept of differential equations with piecewise constant arguments of generalized type [1], [2], [3] and [4], a model of cellular neural networks (CNNs) [5] and [6] is developed. The Lyapunov-Razumikhin technique is applied to find sufficient conditions for the uniform asymptotic stability of equilibria. Global exponential stability is investigated by means of Lyapunov functions. An example with numerical simulations is worked out to illustrate the results.

Numerical solutions of stochastic differential delay equations under the generalized Khasminskii-type conditions

The classical existence-and-uniqueness theorem of the solution to a stochastic differential delay equation (SDDE) requires the local Lipschitz condition and the linear growth condition (see e.g. [11], [12] and [20]). The numerical solutions under these conditions have also been discussed intensively (see e.g. [4], [10], [13], [16], [17], [18], [21], [22] and [24]). Recently, Mao and Rassias [14] and [15] established the generalized Khasminskii-type existence-and-uniqueness theorems for SDDEs, where the linear growth condition is no longer imposed. These generalized Khasminskii-type theorems cover a wide class of highly nonlinear SDDEs but these nonlinear SDDEs do not have explicit solutions, whence numerical solutions are required in practice. However, there is so far little numerical theory on SDDEs under these generalized Khasminskii-type conditions. The key aim of this paper is to close this gap.
