Let f : M → M be a C-diffeomorphism, r ≥ 1, defined on a closed manifold M . We prove that if M is a surface and K ⊂ M is a compact invariant set such that TKM = E ⊕ F is a dominated splitting then f/K is entropy expansive. Moreover C generically in any dimension, isolated homoclinic classes H(p), p hyperbolic, are entropy expansive. Conversely, if there exists a C neighborhood U of a surface d...

Objectives: In this paper, we have to establish a generalized common fixed point theorem in cone rectangular metric spaces. Methods: use the Banach contraction principle technique theorem. Findings: The paper presents unique for two weakly compatible self-maps satisfying expansive type mapping space without assuming normality condition of cone. Our result extends and supplements some well-known...

We argue that the experimental conditions in the Durgin et al. (2009) study were so different from those in Bhalla and Proffitt (1999) that the results of the former study cannot be generalized to the latter. The participants in the Durgin et al. study viewed a 2-m-long ramp; those in Bhalla and Proffitt viewed expansive hills. When drawing generalizations from one study to another, equating ex...

A homeomorphism f : X → X of a compactum X with metric d is expansive if there is c > 0 such that if x, y ∈ X and x 6= y, then there is an integer n ∈ Z such that d(f(x), f(y)) > c. In this paper, we prove that if a homeomorphism f : X → X of a continuum X can be lifted to an onto map h : P → P of the pseudoarc P , then f is not expansive. As a corollary, we prove that there are no expansive ho...

We have performed molecular dynamics simulations of solid-solid contacts lubricated by a model fluid displaying many of the properties of water, particularly its expansive freezing. Near the region where expansive freezing occurs, the lubricating film remains fluid, and the friction force decreases linearly as the shear velocity is reduced. No sign of stick-slip motion is observed, even at the ...
