Neural coding of the pitch of complex sounds is vital for animals' ability to communicate and to perceptually organize natural acoustic scenes. Harmonic complex sounds typically have a well defined pitch corresponding to their fundamental frequency, whereas inharmonic sounds can exhibit pitch ambiguity: their pitch can have more than one value. Iterated rippled noise (IRN), a common "pitch stim...

By use of a new viscosity approximation method, we construct an explicit iterative algorithm for finding common fixed points of a sequence of nonexpansive mappings with weakly contractive mappings in the framework of Banach spaces. A strong convergence theorem is obtained for solving a kind of variational inequality problems. Our results improve and extend the corresponding ones of other author...

This paper is intended to consider a new approach for obtaining common fixed points under strict contractive conditions in metric spaces without assuming continuity or completeness ( or closedness) of the range of any one of the involved maps. The results proved by us can be extended to the nonexpansive or Lipschitz type mapping pairs. Our results substantially improve the results of Pant [ Dis...

In [1], A. Branciari defines a Generalised metric space of finite order and establishes Banach contraction principle in it. The object of this paper is to extend this result to Quasi contraction and prove some fixed point results for two weakly compatible self maps satisfying a generalized contractive condition in this space without assuming it to be Hausdorff . Our result generalizes the said ...

The purpose of this paper is to study the convergence problem of Mann and Ishikawa type iterative schemes of weakly contractive mapping in a complete convex metric space. We establish the results on invariant approximation for the mapping defined on a class of nonconvex sets in a convex metric space. Finally, we obtain the existence of common fixed points of two asymptotically nonexpansive mapp...

BACKGROUND Athletes are expected to consider multiple factors when making informed decision about nutritional supplement use. Besides rules, regulations and potential health hazards, the efficacy of different nutritional supplements in performance enhancement is a key issue. The aim of this paper was to find evidence for informed decision making by investigating the relationship between specifi...

The purpose of this paper is to prove that orbital continuity for a pair self-mappings necessary and sufficient condition the existence uniqueness common fixed point these mappings defined on Menger PM-spaces with nonlinear contractive condition. main results are obtained using notion R-weakly commutativity type Af (or Ag). These generalize some known results.

Certain generalized Banach's contraction mapping principles on metric spaces are unified and/or extended to Hausdorff uniform spaces. Also given are some relationships between the set of all cluster points of the Picard iterates and the set of all fixed points for the mapping. These are obtained by assuming that the latter set is nonempty and by considering certain "quasi"-contractive condition...

The aim of the present paper is to prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings via pointwise R-weakly commuting mappings in probabilistic metric spaces satisfying contractive type implicit relations. This generalizes several known results in the literature including those of Kumar and Pant (Filomat 22:2 (2008), 43-52), Kumar and Chugh (Sci. Math. Japan. 56 (2002), 269-275) and others. M...
