Abstract When dealing with nominal categorical data, it is often desirable to know the degree of association or dependence between variables. While there literally no limit number alternative measures that have been proposed over years, they all yield greatly varying, contradictory, and unreliable results due their lack an important property: value validity. After discussing value-validity prop...

A subset W of the vertices of a graph G is a resolving set for G when for each pair of distinct vertices u,v in V (G) there exists w in W such that d(u,w)≠d(v,w). The cardinality of a minimum resolving set for G is the metric dimension of G. This concept has applications in many diverse areas including network discovery, robot navigation, image processing, combinatorial search and optimization....

The time-optimal trajectory for an airplane from some starting point to some final point is studied by many authors. Here, we consider the extension of robot planer motion of Dubins model in three dimensional spaces. In this model, the system has independent bounded control over both the altitude velocity and the turning rate of airplane movement in a non-obstacle space. Here, in this paper a g...

In [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 27 (1988) 385-389], M. Grabiec in- troduced a notion of completeness for fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of Kramosil and Michalek) that successfully used to obtain a fuzzy version of Ba- nachs contraction principle. According to the classical case, one can expect that a compact fuzzy metric space be complete in Grabiecs sense. We show here that this is not the case,...

best approximation results provide an approximate solution to the fixed point equation $tx=x$, when the non-self mapping $t$ has no fixed point. in particular, a well-known best approximation theorem, due to fan cite{5}, asserts that if $k$ is a nonempty compact convex subset of a hausdorff locally convex topological vector space $e$ and $t:krightarrow e$ is a continuous mapping, then there exi...

Sol&, P., On the parameters of codes for the Lee and modular distance, Discrete Mathematics 89 (1991) 185-194. We introduce the concept of a weakly metric association scheme, a generalization of metric schemes. We undertake a combinatorial study of the parameters of codes in these schemes, along the lines of [9]. Applications are codes over 2, for the Lee distance and arithmetic codes for the m...

The purpose of this paper is to obtain the common fixed point results for two pair of weakly compatible mapping by using common (CLR) property in partial metric space. Also we extend the very recent results which are presented in [17,  Muhammad Sarwar, Mian Bahadur Zada and Inci M. Erhan, Common Fixed Point Theorems of Integral type on Metric Spaces and application to system of functional equat...

Huang and Zhang cite{Huang} have introduced the concept of cone metric space where the set of real numbers is replaced by an ordered Banach space. Shojaei cite{shojaei} has obtained points of coincidence and common fixed points for s-Contraction mappings which satisfy generalized contractive type conditions in a complete cone metric space.In this paper, the notion of complete cone metric ...

In this paper, we introduce a concept of a generalized $c$-distance in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces and, by using the concept, we prove some fixed point theorems in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces. Our results generalize the corresponding results obtained by Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, Shenghua Wang (Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, Shenghua Wang, Common fixed point  heorems on generalized distance in ordere...
