Treatment of grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering data taken above the critical angle

2001

The equations taking into account refraction at the sample surface in grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS) when the angle between the incoming beam and the sample surface is slightly larger than the critical angle are derived and discussed. It is demonstrated that the refraction of both the incoming and the scattered beam at the sample surface affects the GISAXS pattern and that, when a planar bidimensional detector perpendicular to the incoming beam is used, the effect depends on the azimuthal detector angle. The smearing of the pattern depending on the size of the illuminated sample area in grazing incidence is estimated by simulations with Cauchy functions of different…

On 2-(n^2,2n,2n-1) designs with three intersection numbers

2007

The simple incidence structure $${\mathcal{D}(\mathcal{A},2)}$$ , formed by the points and the unordered pairs of distinct parallel lines of a finite affine plane $${\mathcal{A}=(\mathcal{P}, \mathcal{L})}$$ of order n > 4, is a 2 --- (n 2,2n,2n---1) design with intersection numbers 0,4,n. In this paper, we show that the converse is true, when n ? 5 is an odd integer.

Some fixed point theorems for generalized contractive mappings in complete metric spaces

2015

We introduce new concepts of generalized contractive and generalized alpha-Suzuki type contractive mappings. Then, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a fixed point of these classes of mappings on complete metric spaces and b-complete b-metric spaces. Our results extend the theorems of Ciric, Chatterjea, Kannan and Reich.

Fixed point theory for multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings

2012

A very general class of multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings is defined. We also give some fixed point results for these mappings, and finally we compare and separate this class from the other multivalued generalized nonexpansive mappings introduced in the recent literature.

Mappings of finite distortion: The zero set of the Jacobian

2003

This paper is part of our program to establish the fundamentals of the theory of mappings of finite distortion [6], [1], [8], [13], [14], [7] which form a natural generalization of the class of mappings of bounded distortion, also called quasiregular mappings. Let us begin with the definition. We assume that Ω ⊂ Rn is a connected open set. We say that a mapping f : Ω → Rn has finite distortion if:

Über die Schnittzahlen mehrfach balancierter blockpläne

1991

Abstract For a finite incidence structure D with a set X of blocks let [ X ] be the number of points common with all blocks contained in X . We define the functions M(t)(B1,…; B1)=ΣB [B1, B]…[B1,B], and, for every partition ϖ = ϖ1,…,ϖ1) of t, the function Mϖ(B1,…,B1) = Σ Πm [Bi | i ϵ Rm], sum over all decompositions {l, …, t} = R1, ⊃ … ⊃ Rl, |Rm| = ϖm. We show: If D is t-fold balanced, then M(t) = Σϖ cϖMϖ, where the, coefficients cϖ are linear combinations of the parameters b1,…,bt, the constant numbers of blocks through any l,…, t distinct points. Conversely, if the rank of the b × b-matrix ([B, B∗])B,B∗ is equal to the number ν of points and M(t) is a rational linear combination of the fu…

Fixed point theory for 1-set contractive and pseudocontractive mappings

2013

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence and uniqueness of fixed point for a class of nonlinear mappings defined on a real Banach space, which, among others, contains the class of separate contractive mappings, as well as to see that an important class of 1-set contractions and of pseudocontractions falls into this type of nonlinear mappings. As a particular case, we give an iterative method to approach the fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping. Later on, we establish some fixed point results of Krasnoselskii type for the sum of two nonlinear mappings where one of them is either a 1-set contraction or a pseudocontraction and the another one is completely continuous, which extend …

Common fixed points for discontinuous mappings in fuzzy metric spaces

2008

In this paper we prove some common fixed point theorems for fuzzy contraction respect to a mapping, which satisfies a condition of weak compatibility. We deduce also fixed point results for fuzzy contractive mappings in the sense of Gregori and Sapena.

A common fixed point theorem for two weakly compatible pairs in G-metric spaces using the property E.A

2013

In view of the fact that the fixed point theory provides an efficient tool in many fields of pure and applied sciences, we use the notion of the property E.A to prove a common fixed point theorem for weakly compatible mappings. The presented results are applied to obtain the solution of an integral equation and the bounded solution of a functional equation arising in dynamic programming.

Further generalization of fixed point theorems in Menger PM-spaces

2015

In this work, we establish some fixed point theorems by revisiting the notion of ψ-contractive mapping in Menger PM-spaces. One of our results (namely, Theorem 2.3) may be viewed as a possible answer to the problem of existence of a fixed point for generalized type contractive mappings in M-complete Menger PM-spaces under arbitrary t-norm. Some examples are furnished to demonstrate the validity of the obtained results.
