The aim of this paper is to obtain extended variants of some common fixed point results in cone metric spaces in the case that the underlying cone is not normal. The first result concerns g-quasicontractions of D. Ilić and V. Rakočević [Common fixed points for maps on cone metric space, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 341 (2008), 876–882], and the second is concerned with HardyRogers-type conditions and e...

Wardowski (2011) in this paper for a normal cone metric space (X, d) and for the family A of subsets of X established a new cone metric H : A × A → E and obtained fixed point of set-valued contraction of Nadler type. Further, it is noticed in the work of Janković et al., 2011 that the fixed-point problem in the setting of cone metric spaces is appropriate only in the case when the underlying co...

The dark-adapted cone electroretinogram (ERG) is difficult to isolate because of unwanted rod intrusion. We compare dark-adapted cone estimates derived using three techniques. The first uses the cone response on a moderate rod saturating background to estimate the dark-adapted cone response. The second uses red and blue flashes to tease apart cone and rod responses (red-minus-blue technique, [I...

The spatial variation in central retinal function determined from mfERG was compared to co-localised measurements of cone density in two normal subjects. Individual cone cells in the parafoveal region of the retina were identified from 1 degrees x1 degrees images of the photoreceptor mosaic using a modified Heidelberg retina tomograph (HRT). The variation in cone density compared well with prev...

PURPOSE To investigate the progression of cone dysfunction and degeneration in CNG channel subunit CNGB3 deficiency. METHODS Retinal structure and function in CNGB3(-/-) and wild-type (WT) mice were evaluated by electroretinography (ERG), lectin cytochemistry, and correlative Western blot analysis of cone-specific proteins. Cone and rod terminal integrity was assessed by electron microscopy a...

Blue cone monochromacy (BCM) is an X-linked condition in which long- (L) and middle- (M) wavelength-sensitive cone function is absent. Due to the X-linked nature of the condition, female carriers are spared from a full manifestation of the associated defects but can show visual symptoms, including abnormal cone electroretinograms. Here we imaged the cone mosaic in four females carrying an L/M a...

In this paper we consider a mathematical program with second-order cone complementarity constraints (SOCMPCC). The SOCMPCC generalizes the mathematical program with complementarity constraints (MPCC) in replacing the set of nonnegative reals by a second-order cone. We show that if the SOCMPCC is considered as an optimization problem with convex cone constraints, then Robinson’s constraint quali...
