New PPF Dependent Fixed Point Theorems for Suzuki Type GF-Contractions by M. A. Kutbi, N. Hussain, S. Khaleghizadeh

“…As applications of our results, we derive some PPF dependent fixed point theorems for GF-contractive nonself-mappings whenever the range space is endowed with a graph or a partial order. The obtained results generalize, extend, and modify some PPF dependent fixed point results in the literature.…”

Dynamic Mean-Variance Model with Borrowing Constraint under the Constant Elasticity of Variance Process by Hao Chang, Xi-min Rong

“…Secondly, we use dynamic programming principle to get the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation for the value function, which is a more sophisticated nonlinear second-order partial differential equation. Furthermore, we use Legendre transform and dual theory to transform the HJB equation into its dual one. …”

Modeling Multicellular Systems Using Subcellular Elements by T. J. Newman

“…We present here a detailed description of the model, and use successive mean-field approximations to connect it to more coarse-grained approaches, such as discrete cell-based algorithms and coupled partial differential equations. We also discuss efficient algorithms for encoding the model, and give an example of a simulation of an epithelial sheet. …”
