We have examined the effects of changes in extracellular ionic composition on cone and retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) retinomotor movements in cultured isolated teleost retinas. In vivo, the myoid portion of teleost cones contracts in the light and elongates in the dark; RPE pigment disperses in the light and aggregates in the dark. In vitro, cones of dark-adapted (DA) retinas cultured in con...

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of r-semigeneralized fuzzy closed sets, r-semi-generalized fuzzy open sets, rsemi-generalized fuzzy continuous maps in fuzzy topological spaces and investigate some of their properties.

Charles[1] proved the convergence of Picard-type iterative for generalized Φ− accretive non-self maps in a real uniformly smooth Banach space. Based on theorems zeros strongly quasi- and fixed points hemi-contractions, we extend results to Ishikawa iteration process with er- rors hemi-contractive .

In this paper we obtain some sufficient conditions for the existence of common fixed points of multivalued mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions in non normal cone metric spaces. These results establish some of the most general common fixed point theorems for two multivalued maps in cone metric spaces. AMS subject classifications: 47H10, 54H25, 54C60, 46B40

recently, choudhury and metiya [fixed points of weak contractions in cone metric spaces, nonlinear analysis 72 (2010) 1589-1593] proved some fixed point theorems for weak contractions in cone metric spaces. weak contractions are generalizations of the banach's contraction mapping, which have been studied by several authors. in this paper, we introduce the notion of $f$-weak contractions and als...

in this paper, we establish and prove the existence of best proximity points for multivalued cyclic $f$- contraction mappings in complete metric spaces. our results improve and extend various results in literature.
