Very recently, Agarwal et al. (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012:40, 2012) initiated the study of fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying cyclical generalized contractive conditions in complete partial metric spaces. In the present paper, we study some fixed point theorems for a mapping satisfying a cyclical generalized contractive condition based on a pair of altering distance functions in co...

Let h≥2 and let A=(A1,…,Ah) be an h-tuple of sets integers. For nonzero integers c1,…,ch, consider the linear form φ=c1x1+c2x2+⋯+chxh. The representation function RA,φ(n) counts number h-tuples (a1,…,ah)∈A1×⋯×Ah such that φ(a1,…,ah)=n. A is a φ-Sidon system multiplicity g if RA,φ(n)≤g for all n∈Z. every positive integer g, Fφ,g(n) denote largest q there exists withAi⊆[1,n]and|Ai|=q i=1,…,h. It ...

we investigated contraction to noradrenaline (na) and kc1 and sensitivity of na at the level of larger vessels (thoracic aorta and vena cava; left renal artery and left renal vein; lateral saphenous artery and lateral saphenous vein and finally central ear artery and marginal ear vein) in a model devised to mimic heart failure. the model presented here is the rabbit coronary ligation model in w...

In this appendix we present the proofs omitted in “Influencing Connected Legislators.” Marco Battaglini Cornell University and EIEF Ithaca, NY 14853 [email protected] Eleonora Patacchini Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 [email protected] 1 Proof of Lemma 1 Let φ be the  dimensional column vector of voting probabilities with th element equal to . Define η :  →  as η(φ s) = φ−F(φ ...

The Stewart platform is one of 6-DOF (6 degrees of freedom) parallel mechanism. A parallel mechanism is a mechanism to connect six actuators in parallel between the base and the stage. It is necessary to calibrate the kinematic parameters that compose the mechanism in order to use the parallel mechanism as the coordinate measuring machine. Additionally, it is necessary to estimate the uncertain...
