Partial metric spaces with negative distances and fixed point theorems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
In this paper we consider partial metric spaces in the sense of O'Neill. We introduce the notions of strong partial metric spaces and Cauchy functions.

A Robust Adaptive One‐Sample‐Ahead Preview Super‐Twisting Sliding Mode Controller

open access: yesInternational Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing, EarlyView.
Block Diagram of the Robust Adaptive One‐Sample‐Ahead Preview Super‐Twisting Sliding Mode Controller. ABSTRACT This article introduces a discrete‐time robust adaptive one‐sample‐ahead preview super‐twisting sliding mode controller. A stability analysis of the controller by Lyapunov criteria is developed to demonstrate its robustness in handling both ...

Application of the omitted ray fixed point theorem

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2014
This paper presents a nontrivial application of the omitted ray fixed point theorem. Existence of solutions arguments to nonlinear boundary value problems utilizing the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem, Leggett-Williams fixed point theorem and their ...

Simulation‐Based Assessment of Second‐Order Residual Stress Fields on the Fatigue Performance of Silicon‐Strengthened Ferritic Ductile Irons

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This work presents a simulation‐based framework based on representative volume elements (RVEs) that explicitly incorporates process‐induced second‐order residual stresses into the fatigue strength assessment of ductile cast iron (DCI). For the first time, this approach enables a direct evaluation of the influence of second‐order residual stress fields ...

Homological selections and fixed-point theorems

open access: yes, 2016
A homological selection theorem for C-spaces, as well as, a finite-dimensional homological selection theorem is established. We apply the finite-dimensional homological selection theorem to obtain fixed-point theorems for usco homologically UV^n set ...

Analyzing Electronic Excitations and Exciton Binding Energies in Y6 Films

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The Y6 molecule is used for increasing the efficiency of organic solar cells. The exciton binding energy is calculated for ensembles of Y6 molecules that are representative of the typically used films. The calculations show that the excitons typically spread out over many molecules.

Functional compression-expansion fixed point theorem

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2008
This paper presents a generalization of the fixed point theorems of compression and expansion of functional type. As an application, the existence of a positive solution to a second order conjugate boundary value problem is considered. We conclude

Unique Performance Considerations for Printable Organic Semiconductor and Perovskite Radiation Detectors: Toward Consensus on Best Practice Evaluation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A lack of standard approaches for testing and reporting the performance of metal halide perovskites and organic semiconductor radiation detectors has resulted in inconsistent interpretation of performance parameters, impeding progress in the field. This Perspective recommends key metrics and experimental details, which are suggested for reporting in ...

Some Generalizations of Jungck's Fixed Point Theorem

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 2012
We are going to generalize the Jungck's fixed point theorem for commuting mappings by mean of the concepts of altering distance functions and compatible pair of mappings, as well as, by using contractive inequalities of integral type and contractive ...

Coarse Geometry and P. A. Smith Theory

open access: yes, 2010
We define a generalization of the fixed point set, called the bounded fixed set, for a group acting by isometries on a metric space. An analogue of the P. A.
