Fixed Points of Multivalued Nonself Almost Contractions by Maryam A. Alghamdi, Vasile Berinde, Naseer Shahzad

“…We consider multivalued nonself-weak contractions on convex metric spaces and establish the existence of a fixed point of such mappings. Presented theorem generalizes results of M. Berinde and V. Berinde (2007), Assad and Kirk (1972), and many others existing in the literature.…”

Oscillation Criteria for Second-Order Nonlinear Dynamic Equations on Time Scales by Shao-Yan Zhang, Qi-Ru Wang

“…This paper is concerned with oscillation of second-order nonlinear dynamic equations of the form on time scales. By using a generalized Riccati technique and integral averaging techniques, we establish new oscillation criteria which handle some cases not covered by known criteria.…”

New Weighted Hermite–Hadamard Type Inequalities for Differentiable h-Convex and Quasi h-Convex Mappings by Muhammad Amer Latif

“…In this paper, new weighted Hermite–Hadamard type inequalities for differentiable h-convex and quasi h-convex functions are proved. These results generalize many results proved in earlier works for these classes of functions. …”

Chaotic Dynamics of an Airfoil with Higher-Order Plunge and Pitch Stiffnesses in Incompressible Flow by Karthikeyan Rajagopal, Yesgat Admassu, Riessom Weldegiorgis, Prakash Duraisamy, Anitha Karthikeyan

“…Firstly, a state-space model is derived considering the plunge and pitch stiffnesses as generalized functions. Then, a stiffness function having square, cubic, and fifth-power nonlinearities is considered for both plunging and pitching stiffnesses, and the dimensionless state equations are derived. …”

Factor Analysis Model Based on the Theory of the TOPSIS in the Application Research by Guowang Luo, Yanmin Liu, Xiaoling Mo

“…In view of the existing literature panel data factor analysis model in practical application of the deficiency, this paper established the model of factor analysis based on TOPSIS method, which is applied to the analysis of the panel data factor in practice. Compared with the generalized dynamic factor analysis model, the model does not need to satisfy the 4 assumptions of the generalized dynamic factor analysis model at the same time. …”

On Costas Sets and Costas Clouds by Konstantinos Drakakis

“…We abstract the definition of the Costas property in the context of a group and study specifically dense Costas sets (named Costas clouds) in groups with the topological property that they are dense in themselves: as a result, we prove the existence of nowhere continuous dense bijections that satisfy the Costas property on ℚ2, ℝ2, and ℂ2, the latter two being based on nonlinear solutions of Cauchy's functional equation, as well as on ℚ, ℝ, and ℂ, which are, in effect, generalized Golomb rulers. We generalize the Welch and Golomb construction methods for Costas arrays to apply on ℝ and ℂ, and we prove that group isomorphisms on and tensor products of Costas sets result to new Costas sets with respect to an appropriate set of distance vectors. …”
