Characterizing the Theory of Mind Network in Schizophrenia Reveals a Sparser Network Structure
2021
AbstractImpaired social functioning is a hallmark of schizophrenia and altered functional integration between distant brain regions are expected to account for signs and symptoms of the disorder. The functional neuroarchitecture of a network relevant for social functioning, the mentalizing network, is however poorly understood. In this study we examined dysfunctions of the mentalizing network in patients with schizophrenia compared to healthy controls via dynamic causal modelling and an interactive social decision-making game. Network characteristics were analyzed on a single subject basis whereas graph theoretic metrics such as in-degree, out-degree and edge-connectivity per network node w…
Perceptions of Cultural Ecosystem Services: spatial differences in urban and rural areas of Kokemäenjoki, Finland
2021
This study aims to identify and evaluate the spatial distribution of Cultural Ecosystem Services (CES) benefits perceived by people in both urban and rural areas. A public participation GIS (PPGIS)...
Coupled coincidence points for compatible mappings satisfying mixed monotone property
2012
We establish coupled coincidence and coupled fixed point results for a pair of mappings satisfying a compatibility hypothesis in partially ordered metric spaces. An example is given to illustrate our obtained results.
Cyclic admissible contraction and applications to functional equations in dynamic programming
2015
In this paper, we introduce the notion of T-cyclic $( \alpha ,\beta ) $ -contraction and give some common fixed point results for this type of contractions. The presented theorems extend, generalize, and improve many existing results in the literature. Several examples and applications to functional equations arising in dynamic programming are also given in order to illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.
Common Fixed Points of a Pair of Hardy Rogers Type Mappings on a Closed Ball in Ordered Dislocated Metric Spaces
2013
Common fixed point results for mappings satisfying locally contractive conditions on a closed ball in an ordered complete dislocated metric space have been established. The notion of dominated mappings is applied to approximate the unique solution of nonlinear functional equations. Our results improve several well-known conventional results.
A New Approach of Some Contractive Mappings on Metric Spaces
2021
In this paper, we introduce a new contraction-type mapping and provide a fixed-point theorem which generalizes and improves some existing results in the literature. Thus, we prove that the Boyd and Wong theorem (1969) and, more recently, the fixed-point results due to Wardowski (2012), Turinici (2012), Piri and Kumam (2016), Secelean (2016), Proinov (2020), and others are consequences of our main result. An application in integral equations and some illustrative examples are indicated.
Surface families and boundary behavior of quasiregular mappings
2005
We study the boundary behavior of bounded quasiregular mappings f : Bn(0, 1) → Rn, n ≥ 3. We show that there exists a large family of cusps, with vertices on the boundary sphere S n−1 (0, 1), so that the images of these cusps under f have finite (n − 1)-measure. peerReviewed
Heisenberg quasiregular ellipticity
2016
Following the Euclidean results of Varopoulos and Pankka--Rajala, we provide a necessary topological condition for a sub-Riemannian 3-manifold $M$ to admit a nonconstant quasiregular mapping from the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. As an application, we show that a link complement $S^3\backslash L$ has a sub-Riemannian metric admitting such a mapping only if $L$ is empty, the unknot or Hopf link. In the converse direction, if $L$ is empty, a specific unknot or Hopf link, we construct a quasiregular mapping from $\mathbb{H}$ to $S^3\backslash L$. The main result is obtained by translating a growth condition on $\pi_1(M)$ into the existence of a supersolution to the $4$-harmonic…
Sharpness of uniform continuity of quasiconformal mappings onto s-John domains
2017
We construct examples to show the sharpness of uniform continuity of quasiconformal mappings onto $s$-John domains. Our examples also give a negative answer to a prediction in [7].
On BLD-mappings with small distortion
2021
We show that every $$L$$ -BLD-mapping in a domain of $$\mathbb {R}^{n}$$ is a local homeomorphism if $$L < \sqrt{2}$$ or $$K_I(f) < 2$$ . These bounds are sharp as shown by a winding map.
