Stability in contractive nonlinear neural networks
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1990We consider models of the form mu chi = -x + p + WF(x) where x = x(t) is a vector whose entries represent the electrical activities in the units of a neural network. W is a matrix of synaptic weights, F is a nonlinear function, and p is a vector (constant or slowly varying over time) of inputs to the units.

Nonlinear Contracts, Zero Profits and Moral Hazard
Economica, 1987Contracts that base payments on an ex post variable are examined. It is shown that a quadratic contract form may elicit truthful responses from auction participants and offer zero expected profits to the winning bidder, but not eliminate adverse incentives ex post. A general impossibility theorem is proven.

Nonlinear AIMD Congestion Control and Contraction Mappings
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, 2006This papers analyzes a class of nonlinear additive-increase multiplicative-decrease (AIMD) protocols that are widely deployed in communication networks. It is demonstrated that the use of these protocols guarantees that the system has a unique stable outcome to which it converges geometrically under all starting points.

Contraction mappings for nonlinear boundary value problems
Computing, 1968This paper treats mildly nonlinear boundary value problems of the form $$\begin{gathered} y'' (t) + p (t) y'(t) + f(t,y (t)) = 0 \hfill \\ y(\alpha ) = A, y(b) = B \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ byPicard-like methods.A priori bounds on a solution are used to ...

On the nonlinear contractions in Fréchet \(L\)-spaces
1986Summary: In the paper a fixed point theorem in \(L\)-spaces of Fréchet type is contained. The theorem is a generalization of some new results of \textit{S. Kasahara} [Math. Semin. Notes, Kobe Univ. 5, No. 1, 29--35 (1977; Zbl 0359.54039)] and \textit{A. F. Monna} [Indag. Math. 23, 89--96 (1961; Zbl 0097.15901)].

Contraction and partial contraction : a study of synchronization in nonlinear networks
2005This thesis focuses on the study of collective dynamic behaviors, especially the spontaneous synchronization behavior, of nonlinear networked systems. We derives a body of new results, based on contraction and partial contraction analysis. Contraction is a property regarding the convergence between two arbitrary system trajectories. A nonlinear dynamic
