Multi-wave self-report data on age at menopause in 2182 female twin pairs (1355 monozygotic and 827 dizygotic pairs), were analysed to estimate the genetic, common and unique environmental contribution to variation in age at menopause. Two complementary approaches for analysing correlated time-to-onset twin data are considered: the generalized estimating equations (GEE) method in which one can ...

An elementary introduction into algebraic approach to unified quantum information theory and operational approach to quantum entan-glement as generalized encoding is given. After introducing compound quantum state and two types of informational divergences, namely, Araki-Umegaki (a-type) and of Belavkin-Staszewski (b-type) quantum relative entropic information, this paper treats two types of qu...

Weak relative pseudocomplementation on a meet semilattice S is a partial operation ∗ which associates with every pair (x, y) of elements, where x ≥ y, an element z (the weak pseudocomplement of x relative to y) which is the greatest among elements u such that y = u ∧ x. The element z coincides with the pseudocomplement of x in the upper section [y) and, if S is modular, with the pseudocomplemen...

We present some fixed point results for mappings which satisfy Hardy–Rogers rational type, quasicontraction type, weak contraction type and generalized fψ type cyclic conditions in 0-complete partial metric spaces. Presented results generalize or improve many existing fixed point theorems in the literature. To demonstrate our results, we give throughout the paper some examples. One of the possi...

We deene the notion of weak relative pseudo-complement, and we show that, for an arbitrary lattice, the property of weak relative pseudo-complementation is strictly weaker than relative pseudo-complementation, but stronger than pseudo-complementation. Our main interest for this notion is in relation with the theory of closure operators. We prove that if a complete lattice L is completely inf-di...

This paper is devoted to proving the existence of weak solutions to some quadratic integral equations of fractional type in a reflexive Banach space relative to the weak topology. A special case will be considered.

In this paper we introduce a broad class of nonlinear mappings which contains the class of contractive mappings and the class of generalized hybrid mappings in a Hilbert space. Then we prove an attractive point theorem for such mappings in a Hilbert space. Furthermore, we prove a mean convergence theorem of Baillon’s type without convexity in a Hilbert space. Finally, we prove a weak convergenc...

The aim of the present paper is to obtain a number of Kuhn-Tucker type sufficient optimality conditions for a feasible solution to be an efficient solution under the assumptions of the new notions of weak strictly pseudo quasi α-univex, strong pseudo quasi α-univex, and weak strictly pseudo α-univex vector valued functions. We also derive the duality theorems for Mond-Weir and general Mond-Wei...

In this paper, we introduce two types of the Levitin-Polyak well-posedness for the system of weak generalized vector equilibrium problems. By using the gap function of the system of weak generalized vector equilibrium problems, we establish the equivalent relationship between the two types of Levitin-Polyak well-posedness of the system of weak generalized vector equilibrium problems and the cor...
