A general iterative method for solving equilibrium problems, variational inequality problems and fixed point problems of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, we introduce and analyze a new general iterative scheme by the viscosity approximation method for finding the common element of the set of equilibrium problems, the set of fixed points of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings and the set solutions of the variational inequality problems for an ξ-inverse-strongly monotone mapping in Hilbert spaces. We show that the sequence converge strongly to a common element of the above three sets under some parameters controlling conditions. The result extends and improves a recent result of Chang et al. (Nonlinear Anal. 70:3307–3319, 2009) and many others.     

Significance of Shape Factor in Heat Transfer Performance of Molybdenum-Disulfide Nanofluid in Multiple Flow Situations; A Comparative Fractional Study

In this modern era, nanofluids are considered one of the advanced kinds of heat transferring fluids due to their enhanced thermal features. The present study is conducted to investigate that how the suspension of molybdenum-disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles boosts the thermal performance of a Casson-type fluid. Sodium alginate (NaAlg) based nanofluid is contained inside a vertical channel of width d and it exhibits a flow due to the movement of the left wall. The walls are nested in a permeable medium, and a uniform magnetic field and radiation flux are also involved in determining flow patterns and thermal behavior of the nanofluid. Depending on velocity boundary conditions, the flow phenomenon is examined for three different situations. To evaluate the influence of shape factor, MoS2 nanoparticles of blade, cylinder, platelet, and brick shapes are considered. The mathematical modeling is performed in the form of non-integer order operators, and a double fractional analysis is carried out by separately solving Caputo-Fabrizio and Atangana-Baleanu operators based fractional models. The system of coupled PDEs is converted to ODEs by operating the Laplace transformation, and Zakian’s algorithm is applied to approximate the Laplace inversion numerically. The solutions of flow and energy equations are presented in terms of graphical illustrations and tables to discuss important physical aspects of the observed problem. Moreover, a detailed inspection on shear stress and Nusselt number is carried out to get a deep insight into skin friction and heat transfer mechanisms. It is analyzed that the suspension of MoS2 nanoparticles leads to ameliorating the heat transfer rate up to 9.5%. To serve the purpose of achieving maximum heat transfer rate and reduced skin friction, the Atangana-Baleanu operator based fractional model is more effective. Furthermore, it is perceived that velocity and energy functions of the nanofluid exhibit significant variations because of the different shapes of nanoparticles.     

Fractional Dynamics of HIV with Source Term for the Supply of New CD4+ T-Cells Depending on the Viral Load via Caputo–Fabrizio Derivative

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a life life-threatening and serious infection caused by a virus that attacks CD4+ T-cells, which fight against infections and make a person susceptible to other diseases. It is a global public health problem with no cure; therefore, it is highly important to study and understand the intricate phenomena of HIV. In this article, we focus on the numerical study of the path-tracking damped oscillatory behavior of a model for the HIV infection of CD4+ T-cells. We formulate fractional dynamics of HIV with a source term for the supply of new CD4⁺ T-cells depending on the viral load via the Caputo–Fabrizio derivative. In the formulation of fractional HIV dynamics, we replaced the constant source term for the supply of new CD4+ T-cells from the thymus with a variable source term depending on the concentration of the viral load, and introduced a term that describes the incidence of the HIV infection of CD4+ T-cells. We present a novel numerical scheme for fractional view analysis of the proposed model to highlight the solution pathway of HIV. We inspect the periodic and chaotic behavior of HIV for the given values of input factors using numerical simulations.

In this paper, we introduce some fixed‐point theorems for a generalized almost Hardy‐Rogers‐type F contraction in a metric‐like space and give an example to illustrate these main results. Moreover, we show the applications of electric circuit equations, second‐order differential equations, and fractional differential equations. Our results improve, generalize, and extend the corresponding results in literature.

Finally, we give some numerical examples to illustrate our main results.

A new hybrid algorithm for a system of equilibrium problems and variational inclusion

The purpose of this paper is to consider a shrinking projection method of finding the common element of the set of common fixed points for a finite family of a ξ-strict pseudo-contraction, the set of solutions of a systems of equilibrium problems and the set of solutions of variational inclusions. Then, we prove strong convergence theorems of the iterative sequence generated by the shrinking projection method under some suitable conditions in a real Hilbert space. Our results improve and extend recent results announced by Peng, Wang, Shyu and Yao (J Inequal Appl, 2008:15, Article ID 720371, 2008), Takahashi, Takeuchi and Kubota (J Math Anal Appl 341:276–286, 2008), Takahashi and Takahashi (Nonlinear Anal 69:1025–1033, 2008) and many others.     

A general composite explicit iterative scheme of fixed point solutions of variational inequalities for nonexpansive semigroups

In this paper, we introduce a composite explicit viscosity iteration method of fixed point solutions of variational inequalities for nonexpansive semigroups in Hilbert spaces. We prove strong convergence theorems of the composite iterative schemes which solve some variational inequalities under some appropriate conditions. Our result extends and improves those announced by Li et al [General iterative methods for a one-parameter nonexpansive semigroup in Hilbert spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 70 (2009) 3065–3071], Plubtieng and Punpaeng [S. Plubtieng, R. Punpaeng, Fixed-point solutions of variational inequalities for nonexpansive semigroups in Hilbert spaces, Math. Comput. Modelling 48 (2008) 279–286], Plubtieng and Wangkeeree [S.

Coupled fixed point results for nonlinear integral equations

In this paper, we prove some coupled coincidence point theorems for such nonlinear contraction mappings having a mixed monotone property in partially ordered metric spaces by dropping the condition of commutative. We also prove coupled common fixed point theorem for w-compatible mappings. An example of a nonlinear contraction mapping which is not applied by Lakshmikantham and ?iri?’s theorem [1] but applied by our result is given. Further, we apply our results to the existence theorem for solution of nonlinear integral equations.
