Advanced Materials, EarlyView.Stacked nanoflake assembly (SNA) membranes can oscillate autonomously, offering opportunities for soft actuation and energy harvesting. This work uncovers the physical mechanism behind the sustained oscillation of SNA membranes in gradient humidity and identifies three governing dimensionless parameters, enabling rational design for optimizing SNA ...

Generalized Caristi's Fixed Point Theorems
Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2009 We present generalized versions of Caristi's fixed point theorem for multivalued maps. Our results either improve or generalize the corresponding generalized Caristi's fixed point theorems due to Bae (2003), Suzuki (2005), Khamsi (2008), and others.

On the Lefschetz Fixed Point Theorem [PDF]
, 2005 The abstract version of the Lefschetz fixed point theorem is proved which states the following: If \(X\) is a metric space and if \(X_0\subset X\) is such that \(X_0\) absorbs compact sets, \(f\:X\to X\) is a continuous map, \(f(X_0) \subset X_0\) and \(f/X_0\) is a Lefschetz map, then \(f\) is also (on \(X\)) a Lefschetz map. Here a continuous map \(f\

Coincidence and fixed point theorems for nonlinear hybrid generalized contractions [PDF]
, 1998 summary:In this paper we first prove some coincidence and fixed point theorems for nonlinear hybrid generalized contractions on metric spaces. Secondly, using the concept of an asymptotically regular sequence, we give some fixed point theorems for Kannan

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.The study considers the use of polymer/dielectric‐based multilayers piezoelectric Energy Harvesters (EH) to produce an output voltage and current, by exploiting the mechanical energy provided by human organs movements. In particular, the heart motion is considered from the kinematic viewpoint, and a multiphysics theoretical model is developed to assess

Some Remarks on Multidimensional Fixed Point Theorems
, 2014 In this paper, we show that most of the multidimensional (including coupled, tripled, quadrupled) fixed point theorems in the context of (ordered) metric spaces are, in fact, immediate consequences of well-known fixed point theorems in the literature ...

Fixed Point and Common Fixed Point Theorems on Ordered Cone b-Metric Spaces
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2013 The concept of a cone b-metric space has been introduced recently as a generalization of a b-metric space and a cone metric space in 2011. The aim of this paper is to establish some fixed point and common fixed point theorems on ordered cone b-metric ...

Continuum Mechanics Modeling of Flexible Spring Joints in Surgical Robots
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A new mechanical model of a tendon‐actuated helical extension spring joint in surgical robots is built using Cosserat rod theory. The model can implicitly handle the unknown contacts between adjacent coils and numerically predict spring shapes from straight to significantly bent under actuation forces.

New Results and Generalizations for Approximate Fixed Point Property and Their Applications
Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014 We first introduce the concept of manageable functions and then prove some new existence theorems related to approximate fixed point property for manageable functions and α-admissible multivalued maps. As applications of our results, some new fixed point
