As demonstrated by the two preceding papers (Bedrosian, 1995; Higginbotham, 1995), the appropriate selection of subjects for conducting augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) research can be complex and, in many cases, unresolved. Our intention in presenting opposing views on the use of nondisabled individuals for AAC research was to highlight issues pertinent to subject selection. As...

In 2008, Al-Thaga and Shahzad [Generalized I-nonexpansive self-maps and invariant approximations, Acta Math. Sinica 24(5) (2008), 867{876]introduced the notion of occasionally weakly compatible mappings (shortly owcmaps) which is more general than all the commutativity concepts. In the presentpaper, we prove common xed point theorems for families of owc maps in Mengerspaces. As applications to ...

In this paper we define intuitionistic fuzzy metric and normedspaces. We first consider finite dimensional intuitionistic fuzzy normed spacesand prove several theorems about completeness, compactness and weak convergencein these spaces. In section 3 we define the intuitionistic fuzzy quotientnorm and study completeness and review some fundamental theorems. Finally,we consider some properties of...

in this paper, we introduce the idea of relative order and type of entire functions represented by banach valued dirichlet series of two complex variables to generalize some earlier results.proving some preliminary theorems on the relative order, we obtain sum and product theorems and we show that the relative order of an entire function represented by dirichlet series is the same as that of it...

This paper is devoted to the study of reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. We focus on multipliers of reproducing kernel Banach and Hilbert spaces. In particular, we try to extend this concept and prove some related theorems. Moreover, we focus on reproducing kernels in vector-valued reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces. In particular, we extend reproducing kernels to relative reproducing kernels an...

In the paper‎, ‎some new existence theorems of maximal elements for‎ ‎$mathscr{F}_{C,theta}$-mappings and $mathscr{F}_{C,theta}$-majorized mappings are established‎. ‎As applications, ‎some new existence theorems of equilibrium points for‎ ‎one-person games‎, ‎qualitative games and generalized games are obtained‎. ‎Our results unify and generalize most known results‎ ‎in recent literature‎.

In this paper, we prove a fixed point theorem for a pair of generalized weakly contractive mappings in complete partial metric spaces. The theorems presented are generalizations of very recent fixed point theorems due to Abdeljawad, Karapinar and Tas. To emphasize the very general nature of these results, we illustrate an example.
