Some fixed point theorems on nonlinear contractive mappings in Hilbert space by Namana Seshagiri Rao, Karusala Kalyani

“…The purpose of this paper is to establish the existence and uniqueness of a common fixed point for a pair of continuous self mappings over a closed subset of Hilbert space satisfying certain nonlinear rational type contraction condition. Further this result is extended and generalized for some positive integers powers of a pair of continuous self mappings and then is devolved for a sequence of continuous self mappings in the Hilbert space. …”

Fuzzy trust model for wireless sensor networks with intrusion tolerance by WANG Liang-min1, GUO Yuan-bo2, ZHAN Yong-zhao1

“…To protect key services of wireless sensor networks of data fusion and package forward,a fuzzy trust model based on trust and confidence and its evaluation algorithms were presented,in which the value of confidence was used to describe the impreciseness of the value of the trust.Then the simulation and the example were given to show the per-formances of using the model to detect or tolerate the insidious attacks.Finally,the package drop ration of the networks with the trust evaluation system was simulated and the comparison with the related work was discussed.…”

The Kronecker Summation Method for Robust Stabilization Applied to a Chemical Reactor by Radek Matušů, Jana Závacká, Roman Prokop, Monika Bakošová

“…The paper focuses on robust stabilization where the suitable parameters of a simple continuous-time PI controller are determined through a combination of the Kronecker summation method, sixteen plant theorem, and an algebraic approach to control design in the ring of proper and stable rational functions. The initial theoretical background is followed by an illustrative experiment which includes computation of the controller and verification of control results for a continuous stirred tank reactor with exothermic reaction modelled as a fourth-order interval system.…”
