On random nonlinear contractions
Mathematical Systems Theory, 1977A fixed point theorem for random nonlinear contraction mappings is proven. The random nonlinear contraction principle is then used to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of random nonlinear integral equations.

Dynamic Contracting: Accidents Lead to Nonlinear Contracts
SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2015Summary: We consider a dynamic multitask principal-agent model in which the agent allocates his resources on two tasks of different types: effort and accident prevention. We explicitly characterize the optimal contract as well as optimal effort and prevention actions applied by the agent.

Nonlinear Contractions on Semimetric Spaces
JAA, 1995Abstract Let (X, d) be a Hausdorff semimetric (d need not satisfy the triangle inequality) and d–Cauchy complete space. Let ƒ be a selfmap on X, for which d(ƒx, ƒy) ≤ φ(d(x, y)), (x, y ∈ X), where φ is a non– decreasing function from R +, the nonnegative reals, into R + such that φn ...

Contraction analysis of nonlinear Hamiltonian systems
52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2013Nonlinear 2nd-order Hamiltonian dynamics can be decomposed into a hierarchy of two 1st-order complex component dynamics, allowing their exponential stability to be assessed using basic tools in contraction theory. Exponential convergence rates can be explicitly computed based on the system's damping and the Hessian of its complex action.

Optimal Nonlinear Pricing and Contingent Contracts
International Economic Review, 1992Summary: Nonlinear pricing is extended to allow for demand, cost and capacity uncertainty. Incentive schedules are developed that implement the Pareto optimal allocation. Consumers choose a reference point, e.g., baseload demand. This determines both their payment level and the state-contingent output allocation.

TESTING FOR NONLINEARITY OF THE CONTRACTION SEGMENTS IN UTERINE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY
International Journal of Bifurcation and Chaos, 2000In this report, we test for possible nonlinearity of the contraction segments interspersed in a uterine electromyography (EMG), recorded externally with abdominal electrodes. There have been several reports in which the uterine contractility had been assumed to be an auto-regressive process and others have hypothesized it as a nonlinear process and ...

Partnership’s Profit Sharing: Linear and Nonlinear Contracts
International Game Theory Review, 2019Suppose that one party proposes to another a contract for sharing an uncertain profit which maximizes the former’s expected utility, with respect to its beliefs, subject to a constraint on the latter’s expected utility, with respect to the latter’s beliefs. It turns out that the optimal contract, which we find, can be nonmonotone, as well as nonlinear,

Common Fixed Points of Nonlinear Contractions
Acta Mathematica Hungarica, 1998In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden Paare von Selbstabbildungen eines vollständigen metrischen Raumes betrachtet und hinreichende Bedingungen vom Kontraktionstyp angegeben, die die Existenz und Unität eines gemeinsamen Fixpunktes sichern. Ist \(\Phi\) die Menge aller Funktionen \(\varphi:[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty)\), die rechtsseitig stetig sowie nicht ...

On nonlinear F -contractive fuzzy mappings
Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2019The aim of this paper is to obtain some (common) fuzzy fixed point theorems for fuzzy mappings concerning F - contractions (the concept was introduced in [Wardowski, Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 94 (2012), 1-6]) and Feng - Liu type condition [Feng and Liu, Journal of Mathematical ...
