in this paper is introduced a new type of generalization of metric spaces called sb metric space. for this new kind of spaces it has been proved a common xed point theorem for four mappings which satisfy generalized contractive condition. we also present example to conrm our theorem.

In this article we construct a maximal margin classification algorithm for arbitrary metric spaces. At first we show that the Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a maximal margin algorithm for the class of metric spaces where the negative squared distance is conditionally positive definite (CPD). This means that the metric space can be isometrically embedded into a Hilbert space, where one performs...

recently, phiangsungnoen et al. [j. inequal. appl. 2014:201 (2014)] studied fuzzy mappings in the framework of hausdorff fuzzy metric spaces.following this direction of research, we establish the existence of fixed fuzzy points of fuzzy mappings. an example is given to support the result proved herein; we also present a coincidence and common fuzzy point result. finally, as an application of ou...

in this paper the bagley-torvik equation as a prototype fractional differential equation with two derivatives is investigated by means of homotopy perturbation method. the results reveal that the present method is very effective and accurate.

in this paper, we prove the existence of fixed point for chatterjea type mappings under $c$-distance in cone metric spaces endowed with a graph. the main results extend, generalized and unified some fixed point theorems on $c$-distance in metric and cone metric spaces.

in this paper, we give some results on the common fixed point of self-mappings defined on complete $b$-metric spaces. our results generalize kannan and chatterjea fixed point theorems on complete $b$-metric spaces. in particular, we show that two self-mappings satisfying a contraction type inequality have a unique common fixed point. we also give some examples to illustrate the given results.

1.1. Normed spaces. Recall that a (real) vector space V is called a normed space if there exists a function ‖ · ‖ : V → R such that (1) ‖f‖ ≥ 0 for all f ∈ V and ‖f‖ = 0 if and only if f = 0. (2) ‖af‖ = |a| ‖f‖ for all f ∈ V and all scalars a. (3) (Triangle inequality) ‖f + g‖ ≤ ‖f ||+ ‖g‖ for all f, g ∈ V . If V is a normed space, then d(f, g) = ‖f−g‖ defines a metric on V . Convergence w.r.t ...

Our previous work in computer-aided mammography has used scale orientation pixel signatures to provide a rich description of local structure. However, when treated as vectors for statistical classi cation, the Euclidean space they de ne has unsatisfactory metric properties. In this paper we describe a scheme that makes use of a previously described signature similarity measure to de ne a non-li...

The 3-metric gij and extrinsic curvature (second fundamental form) Kij are the fundamental variables describing the geometry in any space+time decomposition of the Einstein equations. (g,K) describe the local geometry of a single space-like hypersurface M , and it is then natural to describe the evolution of the space-time geometry by a 1-parameter family (g(t), K(t)), describing the local geom...
