A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...

Strong Convergence to Common Fixed Points of Countable Relatively Quasi-Nonexpansive Mappings

Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2008
We prove that a sequence generated by the monotone CQ-method converges strongly to a common fixed point of a countable family of relatively quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space. Our result is applicable to a

Generalized Projections on Closed Nonconvex Sets in Uniformly Convex and Uniformly Smooth Banach Spaces

Journal of Function Spaces, 2015
The present paper is devoted to the study of the generalized projection πK:X∗→K, where X is a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach space and K is a nonempty closed (not necessarily convex) set in X. Our main result is the density of the points x∗∈

A strong convergence theorem for generalized-Φ-strongly monotone maps, with applications

Fixed Point Theory and Applications, 2019
Let X be a uniformly convex and uniformly smooth real Banach space with dual space X∗ $X^{*}$. In this paper, a Mann-type iterative algorithm that approximates the zero of a generalized-Φ-strongly monotone map is constructed. A strong convergence theorem

Engineering Extracellular Microenvironments: The Impact of Fibrous Materials on Cell Behavior

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Fibrous structures are key elements of the native extracellular matrix and crucial for directing cell behavior. This review discusses how fiber properties such as composition, diameter, and alignment affect cell responses in 2D and 3D systems. Strategies for integrating fibrous cues into engineered tissues are highlighted, and future directions for ...

Fixed Point Approximation of Nonexpansive Mappings on a Nonlinear Domain

Abstract and Applied Analysis, 2014
We use a three-step iterative process to prove some strong and Δ-convergence results for nonexpansive mappings in a uniformly convex hyperbolic space, a nonlinear domain.

A new modified mixed-type Ishikawa iteration scheme with error for common fixed points of enriched strictly pseudocontractive self mappings and ΦΓ-enriched Lipschitzian self mappings in uniformly convex Banach spaces

Applied General Topology
Let E be a uniformly convex Banach space and C a nonempty closed bounded convex subset of E. Let  Γ : C ⟶ C and G : C ⟶ C be enriched strictly pseudocontractive mapping and  Φ Γ -enriched Lipschitzian mapping respectively.
