In this paper, we present some fixed point theorems for single valued mappings on $K$-complete, $M$-complete and Symth complete quasi metric spaces. Here, for contractive condition, we consider some altering distance functions together with functions belonging to $C$-class and $A$-class. At the same time, we will consider two different type $M$ functions in contractive conditions because the qu...

This important result is listed in the theorem on the next page. Note that the derivative of the vector-valued function is itself a vector-valued function. You can see from Figure 12.8 that is a vector tangent to the curve given by and pointing in the direction of increasing values. tr t r t r f t i g t j lim t→0 f t t f t t i lim t→0 g t t g t t j lim t→0 f t t f t t i g t t g t t j lim t→0 f ...

In a pioneering work written 30 years ago, Almgren developed a far-reaching regularity theory for area-minimizing currents in codimension higher than 1. Building upon Almgren’s work, Chang proved later the optimal regularity statement for 2-dimensional currents. In some recent papers the author, in collaboration with Emanuele Spadaro, has simplified and extended some results of Almgren’s theory...

With every real valued function, of a real argument, can be associated a matrix function mapping a linear space of symmetric matrices into itself. In this paper we study directional differentiability properties of such matrix functions associated with directionally differentiable real valued functions. In particular, we show that matrix valued functions inherit semismooth properties of the corr...
