Iterative algorithms based on runs and runs of runs are presented to calculate the cells of the two–dimensional lattice intersected by a line of real slope and intercept. The technique is applied to the problem of traversing a ray through a two–dimensional grid. Using runs or runs of runs provides a significant improvement in the efficiency of ray traversal for all but very short path lengths w...

In this paper, we investigate the generalized Hyers–Ulam stability for the functional equation f(ax+y)+af(y−x)− a(a+ 1) 2 f(x)− a(a+ 1) 2 f(−x)− (a+1)f(y) = 0 in non-Archimedean normed spaces. Mathematics Subject Classification: 39B52, 39B82

Sufficient conditions for controllability of semilinear integrodifferential systems in a Banach space are established. The results are obtained by using the Schaefer fixed-point theorem.

The stabilities of the Fixed Point, ERAQLES and ERICAþ ABR congestion control algorithms were investigated. By using the stability theory of delayed differential equations, the stability conditions for each algorithm are obtained and examples where these algorithms are not stable (the stability definition is given below) are given. Parameters are proposed for which ERICAþ is always stable. It i...

We present a simpler proof of the known theorem that a fixed-point free homeomorphism on an n-dimensional paracompact space can be colored with n+ 3 colors.  1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

By some analysis of the neutral operator (Ax)(t) = x(t)− ∑n i=1 cix(t− δi) and an application of the fixed-point index theorem, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of periodic solutions to a second-order differential equation with the prescribed neutral operator, which improve and extend some recent results of Lu-Ge, WuWang, and Zhang. An example is ...

We discuss the existence of solutions for the first-order multipoint BVPs on time scale T: uΔ t p t u σ t λf t, u σ t , t ∈ 0, T T , u 0 − ∑mi 1 αiu ξi 0, where λ > 0 is a parameter, T > 0 is a fixed number, 0, T ∈ T, f : 0, T T × 0,∞ → 0,∞ is continuous, p is regressive and rdcontinuous, αi ≥ 0, ξi ∈ T, i 1, 2, . . . , m, 0 ξ0 < ξ1 < ξ2 < · · · < ξm−1 < ξm σ T , and 1 −∑mi 1 αi/ep ξi, 0 > 0. F...

In this paper, we study the existence of weighted pseudo almost automorphic mild solutions of integro-differential equations with fractional order 1 < α < 2, here A is a linear densely defined operator of sectorial type on a complex Banach space X. This paper also deals with existence of weighted pseudo almost automorphic mild solutions of semilinear integro-differential eqautions with A is the...

In response to the liar’s paradox, Kripke developed the fixed-point semantics for languages expressing their own truth concepts. (Martin and Woodruff independently developed this semantics, but not to the same extent as Kripke.) Kripke’s work suggests a number of related fixed-point theories of truth for such languages. Gupta and Belnap develop their revision theory of truth in contrast to the ...

The Lefschetz fixed point theorem follows easily from the identification of the Lefschetz number with the fixed point index. This identification is a consequence of the functoriality of the trace in symmetric monoidal categories. There are refinements of the Lefschetz number and the fixed point index that give a converse to the Lefschetz fixed point theorem. An important part of this theorem is...
