In this paper direct proofs of some common fixed point results for two and three mappings under weak contractive conditions are given. Some of these results are improved by using different arguments of control functions. Examples are presented showing that some generalizations cannot be obtained and also that our results are distinct from the existing ones.

We prove that any bounded linear operator on Lp[0, 1] for 1 6 p < ∞, commuting with the Volterra operator V , is not weakly supercyclic, which answers affirmatively a question raised by Léon-Saavedra and Piqueras-Lerena. It is achieved by providing an algebraic flavored condition on an operator which prevents it from being weakly supercyclic and is satisfied for any operator commuting with V . ...

Abstract. To a closed convex smooth curve in the plane the dual billiard transformation of its exterior corresponds: given a point outside of the curve, draw a tangent line to it through the point, and reflect the point in the point of tangency. We prove that if two curves are given, such that the corresponding dual billiard transformations commute, then the curves are concentric hornothetic el...

In this paper, we give a fixed point theorem for $(psi,varphi)$-weakly contractive mappings in complete $b$-metric spaces. We also give a common fixed point theorem for such mappings in complete $b$-metric spaces via altering functions. The given results generalize two known results in the setting of metric spaces. Two examples are given to verify the given results.

Epigenetically inherited aggregates of the yeast prion [PSI+] cause genomewide readthrough translation that sometimes increases evolvability in certain harsh environments. The effects of natural selection on modifiers of [PSI+] appearance have been the subject of much debate. It seems likely that [PSI+] would be at least mildly deleterious in most environments, but this may be counteracted by i...

The author studies trends in commuting to the city of Zagreb in Croatia, Yugoslavia. Commuter surveys and bivariate analysis are used to describe the socioeconomic level, occupational status, transportation method, and place of residence of rural and urban residents who commute to the city.
