in this paper we discuss on the fixed points of asymptotic contractions and boyd-wong type contractions in uniform spaces equipped with an e-distance. a new version ofkirk's fixed point theorem is given for asymptotic contractions and boyd-wong type contractions is investigated in uniform spaces.

It is proved that if A is aregular uniform algebra on a compact Hausdorff space X in which every closed ideal is an M-ideal, then A = C(X).

We consider the space of weakly almost periodic functions on a transformation semigroup (S, X , ?) and show that if X is a locally compact noncompact uniform space, and ? is a separately continuous, separately proper, and equicontinuous action of S on X, then every continuous function on X, vanishing at infinity is weakly almost periodic. We also use a number of diverse examples to show ...

the existence of some geometrically imperfect members, like initial curvature in a double layer space structures with hundreds or thousands of members is almost inevitable. these imperfections give rise to loss of load bearing capacity of double layer space structures. to evaluate the effect of initial member imperfection on load bearing capacity of double layer space structures and their failu...
