The medial septum (MS) plays an essential role in rhythmogenesis in the hippocampus (HIPP); theta-rhythmic bursts of MS neurons are believed to drive theta oscillations in rats' HIPP. The MS theta pacemaker hypothesis has solid foundation but the MS-hippocampal interactions during different behavioral states are poorly understood. The MS and the HIPP have reciprocal connections and it is not cl...

this paper introduces an implicit scheme for a   continuous representation of nonexpansive mappings on a closed convex subset of a hilbert space with respect to a   sequence of invariant means defined on an appropriate space of bounded, continuous real valued functions of the semigroup.   the main result is to    prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit scheme to the unique solutio...

The Rayleigh–Ritz method is widely used for eigenvalue approximation. Given a matrix X with columns that form an orthonormal basis for a subspace X , and a Hermitian matrix A, the eigenvalues of XHAX are called Ritz values of A with respect to X . If the subspace X is A-invariant, then the Ritz values are some of the eigenvalues of A. If the A-invariant subspace X is perturbed to give rise to a...

Nielsen’s theorem indicates that a bipartite entangled pure state can be exactly converted into another pure one by local quantum operations and classical communication if and only if the Schmidt coefficient vector of the former is majorized by that of the latter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 436 (1999)]. As a consequence of Nielsen’s majorization criterion, the quantity of entanglement is decreased du...

For $N\geq 3$, by the seminal paper of Brezis and V\'eron (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 75(1):1--6, 1980/81), no positive solutions $-\Delta u+u^q=0$ in $\mathbb R^N\setminus \{0\}$ exist if $q\geq N/(N-2)$; for $11$ $\theta\in \mathbb R$, we prove that nonlinear ell...

In this work we explore the first stages of quantum wire (QWR) formation studying the evolution of the growth front for InAs coverages below the critical thickness, theta(c), determined by reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED). Our results obtained by in situ measurement of the accumulated stress evolution during InAs growth on InP(001) show that the relaxation process starts at a...

This paper examines stability analysis of two classes of improved backward Euler methods, namely split-step $(theta, lambda)$-backward Euler (SSBE) and semi-implicit $(theta,lambda)$-Euler (SIE) methods, for nonlinear neutral stochastic delay differential equations (NSDDEs). It is proved that the SSBE method with $theta, lambdain(0,1]$ can recover the exponential mean-square stability with some...

in this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings (two set valued and four single valued mappings) without assuming compatibility and continuity of any mapping on non complete metric spaces. to prove the theorem, we use a non compatible condition, that is, weak commutativity of type (kb). we show that completeness of the whole space is not necessary for the existence and uni...

A ranked poset is called strongly Sperner if the size of k-family cannot exceed the sum of k-largest Whitney numbers. In the sense of a function ordering, a function f is (weakly) majorized by g if the the sum of k-largest values in f cannot exceed the sum of k-largest values in g. Two definitions arise from different contexts, but they have strong similarities in their own meanings. Furthermor...
