Results on proximal and generalized weak proximal contractions including the case of iteration-dependent range sets
(Springer International Publishing, 2014-07-18)
This paper presents some further results on proximal and asymptotic proximal contractions and on a class of generalized weak proximal contractions in metric spaces. The generalizations are stated for non-self-mappings of ...
Stability analysis and observer design for discrete-time SEIR epidemic models
(Springer International Publishing, 2015-04-17)
This paper applies Micken's discretization method to obtain a discrete-time SEIR epidemic model. The positivity of the model along with the existence and stability of equilibrium points is discussed for the discrete-time ...
Fixed Point and Best Proximity Theorems under Two Classes of Integral-Type Contractive Conditions in Uniform Metric Spaces
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper investigates the existence of fixed points and best proximity points of p-cyclic self-maps on a set of subsets of a certain uniform space under integral-type contractive conditions. The parallel properties of ...
On a Generalized Time-Varying SEIR Epidemic Model with Mixed Point and Distributed Time-Varying Delays and Combined Regular and Impulsive Vaccination Controls
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper discusses a generalized time-varying SEIR propagation disease model subject to delays which potentially involves mixed regular and impulsive vaccination rules. The model takes also into account the natural ...
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 ...
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, ...
Some Fixed Point Properties of Self-Maps Constructed by Switched Sets of Primary Self-Maps on Normed Linear Spaces
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
This paper is devoted to the investigation of the existence of fixed points in a normed linear space X endowed with a norm ‖⋅‖ for self-maps f from T×X to X which are constructed from a given class of so-called primary ...
About K-Positivity Properties of Time-Invariant Linear Systems Subject to Point Delays
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2007)
This paper discusses nonnegativity and positivity concepts and related properties for the state and output trajectory solutions of dynamic linear time-invariant systems described by functional differential equations subject ...
Linking Contractive Self-Mappings and Cyclic Meir-Keeler Contractions with Kannan Self-Mappings
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2010)
Some mutual relations between p-cyclic contractive self-mappings, p-cyclic Kannan self-mappings, and Meir-Keeler p-cyclic contractions are stated. On the other hand, related results about the existence of the best proximity ...
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 ...
