Let E be a real reflexive and strictly convex Banach space with a uniformly Gâteaux differentiable norm. Let J {T t : t ≥ 0} be a family of uniformly asymptotically regular generalized asymptotically nonexpansive semigroup of E, with functions u, v : 0,∞ → 0,∞ . Let F : F J ∩t≥0F T t / ∅ and f : K → K be a weakly contractive map. For some positive real numbers λ and δ satisfying δ λ > 1, let G ...

In 1944, Freeman Dyson initiated the study of ranks of integer partitions. Here we solve the classical problem of obtaining formulas for Ne(n) (resp. No(n)), the number of partitions of n with even (resp. odd) rank. Thanks to Rademacher’s celebrated formula for the partition function, this problem is equivalent to that of obtaining a formula for the coefficients of the mock theta function f(q),...

We show that the coefficients of Ramanujan’s mock theta function f(q) are the first non-trivial coefficients of a canonical sequence of modular forms. This fact follows from a duality which equates coefficients of the holomorphic projections of certain weight 1/2 Maass forms with coefficients of certain weight 3/2 modular forms. This work depends on the theory of Poincaré series, and a modifica...

In a recent paper, Khojasteh emph{et al.} [F. Khojasteh, S. Shukla, S. Radenovi'c, A new approach to the study of fixed point theorems via simulation functions, Filomat, 29 (2015), 1189-–1194] presented a new class of simulation functions, say $mathcal{Z}$-contractions, with unifying power over known contractive conditions in the literature. Following this line of research, we extend and ...

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is an extremely potent, positive modulator of theta burst induced long-term potentiation (LTP) in the adult hippocampus. The present studies tested whether the neurotrophin exerts its effects by facilitating cytoskeletal changes in dendritic spines. BDNF caused no changes in phalloidin labeling of filamentous actin (F-actin) when applied alone to rat hip...

Introduction: Extended aeration activated sludge system has a lower sludge production than other activated sludge processes. Due to its high hydraulic retention time (HRT), the tolerance of this process is higher than the shocks caused by increased organic loading rate. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of the aeration system in removing physicochemical and mi...

In this paper we prove existence of fixed point theorems for Z-contractive map, Geraghty type contractive map and interpolative Hardy-Rogers type contractive mapping in the setting of SJS- metric spaces with two metrics. Examples are constructed to high light the significance of newly obtained results.

The purpose of this paper is to present the definition of [Formula: see text]-contractive mapping and to discuss the relation of [Formula: see text]-contractive mappings and [Formula: see text]-contractive mappings. Furthermore, the generalized [Formula: see text]-contraction mapping principle has been proved without the uniqueness condition. Meanwhile, the generalized [Formula: see text]-contr...
