MRI examinations may be used to monitor the progress of neurological disease. Arising structural changes can then be quantified using non-rigid registration procedures. However, the interpretation of the resulting large scale vector fields is difficult without further processing. We propose using contraction mapping to detect critical points such as attractors and repellors in order to characte...

* Correspondence: ming@mail. nhcue.edu.tw Department of Applied Mathematics, National Hsinchu University of Education, Hsin-Chu, Taiwan Full list of author information is available at the end of the article Abstract In this article, we introduce the notions of (j φ)-weak contraction mappings and (ψ φ)-weak contraction mappings in complete generalized metric spaces and prove two theorems which a...

Recommended by G ´ orniewicz Lech Here we introduce a generalisation of the Banach contraction mapping principle. We show that the result extends two existing generalisations of the same principle. We support our result by an example.

It is well known that contractive representations of the disk algebra are completely contractive. Let A denote the subalgebra of the disk algebra consisting of those functions f for which f ′(0) = 0. We prove that there are contractive representations of A which are not completely contractive, and furthermore characterize those contractive representations which are completely contractive.

p ≥2 -cyclic and contractive self-mappings on a set of subsets of a metric space which are simultaneously accretive on the wholemetric space are investigated. The joint fulfilment of the p-cyclic contractiveness and accretive properties is formulated as well as potential relationships with cyclic self-mappings in order to be Kannan self-mappings. The existence and uniqueness of best proximity p...

recently, choudhury and metiya [fixed points of weak contractions in cone metric spaces, nonlinear analysis 72 (2010) 1589-1593] proved some fixed point theorems for weak contractions in cone metric spaces. weak contractions are generalizations of the banach's contraction mapping, which have been studied by several authors. in this paper, we introduce the notion of $f$-weak contractions and als...

We prove that any mapping torus of a pseudo-Anosov class with bounded normalized Weil-Petersson translation length contains finite set transverse and level closed curves, drilling out this curves results in one number cusped hyperbolic 3-manifolds. The manifolds the list depends only on bound for length. also complementary result explains necessity removing by producing new estimates compositio...

This paper contains two main results. The first is the existence of an equivariant Weil-Petersson geodesic in Teichmüller space for any choice of pseudo-Anosov mapping class. As a consequence one obtains a classification of the elements of the mapping class group as WeilPetersson isometries which is parallel to the Thurston classification. The second result concerns the asymptotic behavior of t...

A pseudo-primitive word with respect to an antimorphic involution θ is a word which cannot be written as a catenation of occurrences of a strictly shorter word t and θ(t). Properties of pseudo-primitive words are investigated in this paper. These properties link pseudo-primitive words with essential notions in combinatorics on words such as primitive words, (pseudo)-palindromes, and (pseudo)-co...
