We prove non–existence of static, vacuum, appropriately regular, asymptotically flat black hole space–times with degenerate (not necessarily connected) components of the event horizon. This finishes the classification of static, vacuum, asymptotically flat domains of outer communication in an appropriate class of space–times, showing that the domains of outer communication of the Schwarzschild ...

OBJECTIVE To explore the different influences of walking, running and stair activity on knee articular cartilage with T1 rho and T2 mapping sequences. MATERIALS AND METHODS MRI (3.0-T) scans of the right knee were performed in twenty-three young healthy adults immediately after 30 minutes of rest, walking, running and stair activity respectively. Articular cartilage was quantitatively assesse...

A framework is introduced for the identification of controls for single-class timevarying queueing networks that are asymptotically optimal in the so-called uniform acceleration regime. A related, but simpler, first-order (or fluid) control problem is first formulated and, for a class of performance measures that satisfy a certain continuity property, it is then shown that any policy that is op...

Weconsider the Pottsmodelwith q colors on a sequence ofweighted graphs with adjacency matrices An , allowing for both positive and negative weights. Under a mild regularity condition on An we show that the mean-field prediction for the log partition function is asymptotically correct, whenever tr(An) = o(n). In particular, our results are applicable for the Ising and the Potts models on any seq...

We present and study a probabilistic neural automaton in which the fraction of simultaneously-updated neurons is a parameter, rhoin(0,1). For small rho, there is relaxation towards one of the attractors and a great sensibility to external stimuli and, for rho > or = rho(c), itinerancy among attractors. Tuning rho in this regime, oscillations may abruptly change from regular to chaotic and vice ...

*Correspondence: [email protected] Department of Mathematics, Faculty of Science, Chiang Mai University, Chiang Mai, 50200, Thailand Abstract We prove a convergence theorem of the Mann iteration scheme for a uniformly L-Lipschitzian asymptotically demicontractive mapping in a CAT(κ ) space with κ > 0. We also obtain a convergence theorem of the Ishikawa iteration scheme for a uniformly L-Lipsc...

We study convergences of Mann and Ishikawa iteration processes for mappings of asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive type in Banach spaces. 1. Introduction and preliminaries. Let D be a nonempty subset of a real Banach space X and T : D → D a nonlinear mapping. The mapping T is said to be asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive (see [5]) if F(T) = ∅ and there exists a sequence {k n } in [0, ∞) with lim n...

we study the convergence of the modified noor iterative scheme for the class of asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings in the intermediate sense which is not necessarily lipschitzian. our results improves, extends and unifies the results of schu [23] and qin {it et al.} [25].
