background breast cancer (bc) is the most common cancer in iranian women. studying the mortality statistics is important to monitor the effects of screening programs or the influence of earlier diagnosis on the burden of this chronic disease. misclassification is still a problem in the iranian death registry data and about 20% of death statistics are recorded in misclassified categories. object...

although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method andhomotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functionalequations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of thesemethods. some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, butthe researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty.here, after criticizi...

in this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings (two set valued and four single valued mappings) without assuming compatibility and continuity of any mapping on non complete metric spaces. to prove the theorem, we use a non compatible condition, that is, weak commutativity of type (kb). we show that completeness of the whole space is not necessary for the existence and uni...

In this paper, we study the well-posedness for a coupled PDE/ODE system describing interaction of several massive point vortices moving within vorticity backgound in 2D ideal incompressible fluid. The points are driven by velocity induced background vorticity, other vortices, and Kutta-Joukowski-type lift force creating an additional gyroscopic effect. This reduces to so-called vortex-wave syst...

Petrov (1996) proved the connection between general moment conditions and the applicability of the strong law of large numbers to a sequence of pairwise independent and identically distributed random variables. This note examines this connection to a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) and identically distributed random variables. As a consequence of the main theorem ...

In this paper, vector ultrametric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem is given for correspondences. Our main result generalizes a known theorem in ordinary ultrametric spaces.

in this paper, a concept of generalized weakly contraction mappings in partially ordered fuzzy metric spaces is introduced and  coincidence point  theorems on partially ordered fuzzy metric spaces are proved. also, as the corollary of these theorems, some common fixed point theorems on partially ordered fuzzy metric spaces are presented.

The main purpose of this paper is to establish different types of convergence theorems for fuzzy Henstock integrable functions, introduced by  Wu and Gong cite{wu:hiff}. In fact, we have proved fuzzy uniform convergence theorem, convergence theorem for fuzzy uniform Henstock integrable functions and fuzzy monotone convergence theorem. Finally, a necessary and sufficient condition under which th...

We analyze the well-posedness of a flow-plate interaction considered in [22, 24]. Specifically, we consider the Kutta-Joukowski boundary conditions for the flow [20, 28, 26], which ultimately give rise to a hyperbolic equation in the half-space (for the flow) with mixed boundary conditions. This boundary condition has been considered previously in the lowerdimensional interactions [1, 2], and d...
