Common Fixed-Point Results in Ordered Left (Right) Quasi-b-Metric Spaces and Applications by Hemant Kumar Nashine, Sourav Shil, Hiranmoy Garai, Lakshmi Kanta Dey, Vahid Parvaneh

“…We use the notions of left- and right-complete quasi-b-metric spaces and partial ordered sets to obtain a couple of common fixed-point results for strictly weakly isotone increasing mappings and relatively weakly increasing mappings, which satisfy a pair of almost generalized contractive conditions. To illustrate our results, throughout the paper, we give several relevant examples. …”

Effects of Duct Cross Section Camber and Thickness on the Performance of Ducted Propulsion Systems for Aeronautical Applications by Rodolfo Bontempo, Marcello Manna

“…The axisymmetric flow field around a ducted rotor is thoroughly analysed by means of a nonlinear and semi-analytical model which is able to deal with some crucial aspects of shrouded systems like the interaction between the rotor and the duct, and the slipstream contraction and rotation. Not disregarding the more advanced CFD based methods, the proposed procedure is characterised by a very low computational cost that makes it very appealing as analysis tool in the preliminary steps of a design procedure of hierarchical type. …”

Contact avec le français et registres de l'occitan moderne (XVIe-XVIIIe siècle) by Jean-François Courouau

“…The only evidence we have of modern Occitan is in the form of literary texts, and these occasionally reveal, through the contrasting use of francisms and earlier forms, the existence of linguistic registers in Occitan, with a higher register marked by extreme proximity to French (loanwords). …”

Multipoint BVP for the Langevin Equation under φ-Hilfer Fractional Operator by Mohammed A. Almalahi, Satish K. Panchal, Fahd Jarad

“…Next, we investigate and develop sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions by means of semigroups of operator approach and the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorems as well as Banach contraction principle. Moreover, by means of Gronwall’s inequality lemma and mathematical techniques, we analyze Ulam-Hyers and Ulam-Hyers-Rassias stability results. …”
