performance measure approach (pma) is a method for evaluating the probabilistic constraints in reliability-based design optimization of structures. the advanced mean-value (amv) method is suitable for pma, simply and efficiently. the iterative amv scheme could be yielded to unstable solutions such as periodic-oscillation and chaos for highly nonlinear performance functions. in the present paper...

some algorithms for nding common xed point of a family of mappings isconstructed. indeed, let c be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformlyconvex banach space x whose norm is gateaux dierentiable and let {tn} bea family of self-mappings on c such that the set of all common fixed pointsof {tn} is nonempty. we construct a sequence {xn} generated by the hybridmethod and also we give the ...

it is well known that if the coefficient matrix in a linear system is large and sparse or sometimes not readily available, then iterative solvers may become the only choice. the block solvers are an attractive class of iterative solvers for solving linear systems with multiple right-hand sides. in general, the block solvers are more suitable for dense systems with preconditioner. in this paper,...

in this paper, we present two new families of third-order and fourth-order methods for finding multiple roots of nonlinear equations. each of them requires one evaluation of the function and two of its first derivative per iteration. several numerical examples are given to illustrate the performance of the presented methods.

In this paper, we first introduce a monotone mapping and its resolvent in general metric spaces.Then, we give two new iterative methods  by combining the resolvent method with Halpern's iterative method and viscosity approximation method for  finding a fixed point of monotone mappings and a solution of variational inequalities. We prove convergence theorems of the proposed iterations  in ...
