Some Combined Relations between Contractive Mappings, Kannan Mappings, Reasonable Expansive Mappings, and T-Stability
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
In recent literature concerning fixed point theory for self-mappings T : X -> X in metric spaces (X,d), there are some new concepts which can be mutually related so that the inherent properties of each one might be combined ...
Total Stability Properties Based on Fixed Point Theory for a Class of Hybrid Dynamic Systems
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
Robust stability results for nominally linear hybrid systems are obtained from total stability theorems for purely continuous-time and discrete-time systems by using the powerful tool of fixed point theory. The class of ...
On the Necessary and Sufficient Condition for a Set of Matrices to Commute and Some Further Linked Results
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
This paper investigates the necessary and sufficient condition for a set of (real or complex) matrices to commute. It is proved that the commutator [A,B]=0 for two matrices A and B if and only if a vector v(B) defined ...
Influence of Two Vaccination Campaigns on Genetic Diversity of Invasive Neisseria meningitidis Isolates in Northern Spain (1997–2008)
(Public Library of Science, 2009-12-30)
Background: Neisseria meningitidis diversifies rapidly, due to its high recombination rates. The aim of this study was to analyze the possible impact of two vaccination campaigns (a once-off A/C polysaccharide vaccination ...
Ab initio calculation of low-energy collective charge-density excitations in MgB2
(American Physical Society, 2009-08)
We present ab initio time-dependent density-functional theory calculation results for low-energy collective electron excitations in MgB2. The existence of a long-lived collective excitation corresponding to coherent charge ...
Survey of the fatty acid composition of Canadian beef: Backfat and longissimus lumborum muscle
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2009-09)
[EN]A survey of Canadian retail beef was undertaken with emphasis on the trans fatty acid (TFA) and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) isomers, and compared with current health recommendations. Thirty striploin steaks were ...
Phenotypic correlations of fatty acid composition among intramuscular, subcutaneous and intermuscular fat tissues in concentrate-fed beef cattle of differing genotypes
(Agricultural Institute of Canada, 2009-03)
[EN]In an attempt to predict intramuscular fatty acid composition using easily accessible fat depots, between-tissue correlations were studied in 75 Asturiana de los Valles bulls with different levels of muscular hypertrophy, ...
Stability Results of a Class of Hybrid Systems under Switched Continuous-Time and Discrete-Time Control
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
This paper investigates the stability properties of a class of switched systems possessing several linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which are governed by a switching law. It is assumed that the ...
Stability and Convergence Results Based on Fixed Point Theory for a Generalized Viscosity Iterative Scheme
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
A generalization of Halpern's iteration is investigated on a compact convex subset of a smooth Banach space. The modified iteration process consists of a combination of a viscosity term, an external sequence, and a continuous ...
On the Characterization of Hankel and Toeplitz Operators Describing Switched Linear Dynamic Systems with Point Delays
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2009)
This paper investigates the causality properties of a class of linear time-delay systems under constant point delays which possess a finite set of distinct linear time-invariant parameterizations (or configurations) which, ...
