Fixed point theorems for fuzzy mappings and applications to ordinary fuzzy differential equations
2014
Abstract Ran and Reurings (Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 132(5):1435-1443, 2004) proved an analog of the Banach contraction principle in metric spaces endowed with a partial order and discussed some applications to matrix equations. The main novelty in the paper of Ran and Reurings involved combining the ideas in the contraction principle with those in the monotone iterative technique. Motivated by this, we present some common fixed point results for a pair of fuzzy mappings satisfying an almost generalized contractive condition in partially ordered complete metric spaces. Also we give some examples and an application to illustrate our results. MSC:46S40, 47H10, 34A70, 54E50.
Rationality and normal 2-complements
2008
Abstract We study the finite groups in which every irreducible rational valued character is linear, and those in which every rational element is central.
Nonsmooth Optimization Methods
1999
From the previous chapters we know that after the discretization, elliptic and parabolic hemivariational inequalities can be transformed into substationary point type problems for locally Lipschitz superpotentials and as such will be solved. There is a class of mathematical programming methods especially developed for this type of problems. The aim of this chapter is to give an overview of nonsmooth optimization techniques with special emphasis on the first and the second order bundle methods. We present their basic ideas in the convex case and necessary modifications for nonconvex optimization. We shall use them in the next chapter for the numerical realization of several model examples.

The Classical Theory of Real Functions
1998
The first class of real functions we deal with in this chapter is the class of functions of locally finite variation. These functions are closely related to the real measures on B. Exploiting this connection would allow us to obtain the properties of these functions from the general results in Chapter 4. But the path we follow here is a more direct one which applies the theory of vector lattices. The link with the measures on B will be established in the next section.
Algebraic and logical characterizations of deterministic linear time classes
1997
In this paper an algebraic characterization of the class DLIN of functions that can be computed in linear time by a deterministic RAM using only numbers of linear size is given. This class was introduced by Grandjean, who showed that it is robust and contains most computational problems that are usually considered to be solvable in deterministic linear time.

Some considerations on Hydra groups and a new bound for the length of words
2014
Abstract After a survey on some recent results of Riley and others on Ackermann functions and Hydra groups, we make an analogy between DNA sequences, whose growth is the same of that of Hydra groups, and a musical piece, written with the same algorithmic criterion. This is mainly an aesthetic observation, which emphasizes the importance of the combinatorics of words in two different contexts. A result of specific mathematical interest is placed at the end, where we sharpen some previous bounds on deterministic finite automata in which there are languages with hairpins.
Indefinite integrals of special functions from integrating factors
2019
Some general integrals are presented which were obtained from two integrating factors f(x) and fˆ(x) for the first two and last two terms, respectively, of the second-order linear ordinary differen...
