abstract in this paper we test two versions of convergence hypothesis namely deterministic or conditional convergence and stochastic or catching up hypothesis using carrion-i-silvestre et al. (2005) stationary test. the results show latin and south american countries (lsa) catching up process toward the usa failed in 1980s and somewhat in 1990s. but in 2000s most of them could lie in convergenc...

in this paper, the multistage variational iteration method is implemented to solve a general form of the system of first-order differential equations. the convergence of the proposed method is given. to illustrate the proposed method, it is applied to a model for hiv infection of cd4+ t cells and the numerical results are compared with those of a recently proposed method.

in this paper, the notion of n, pn - summability to generalize the concept of statisticalconvergence is used. we call this new method weighted statistically convergence. we also establish itsrelationship with statistical convergence, c,1-summability and strong   n n, p -summability.

The purpose of this article is to prove strong convergence theorems for fixed points of closed hemirelatively nonexpansive mappings. In order to get these convergence theorems, the monotone hybrid iteration method is presented and is used to approximate those fixed points. Note that the hybrid iteration method presented by S. Matsushita and W. Takahashi can be used for relatively nonexpansive m...
