A set of np ≥2 -cyclic and either continuous or contractive self-mappings, with at least one of them being contractive, which are defined on a set of subsets of a Banach space, are considered to build a composed self-mapping of interest. The existence and uniqueness of fixed points and the existence of best proximity points, in the case that the subsets do not intersect, of such composed mappin...

In this work, we define the notion of an algebraic distance in algebraic cone metric spaces defined by Niknam et al. [A. Niknam, S. Shamsi Gamchi and M. Janfada, Some results on TVS-cone normed spaces and algebraic cone metric spaces, Iranian J. Math. Sci. Infor. 9 (1) (2014), 71--80] and introduce some its elementary properties. Then we prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for a B...

In this paper, we establish some existence of fixed-point results for asymptotically regular multivalued mappings satisfying Kannan-type contractive condition without assuming compactness the underlying metric space or continuity mapping.

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...

Definition 1.1 (see [1]). A triple (X ,M,∗), where X is an arbitrary set, ∗ is a continuous t-norm, andM is a fuzzy set on X2× (0,∞), is said to be a fuzzy metric space (in the sense of George and Veeramani) if the following conditions are satisfied for all x, y ∈ X and s, t > 0: (GV-1) M(x, y, t) > 0; (GV-2) M(x, y, t)= 1 if and only if x = y; (GV-3) M(x, y, t)=M(y,x, t); (GV-4) M(x, y,·) is c...

In this paper, first we prove fixed point theorems for different variant of compatible maps, satisfying a contractive condition of integral type in fuzzy metric spaces, which improve the results of Branciari [2], Rhoades [33], Kumar et al. [23], Subramanyam [35] and results of various authors cited in the literature of ”Fixed Point Theory and Applications”. Secondly, we introduce the notion of ...
