Fixed-Point Theorems in Complete Gauge Spaces and Applications to Second-Order Nonlinear Initial-Value Problems

2013

We establish fixed-point results for mappings and cyclic mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition in a complete gauge space. Our theorems generalize and extend some fixed-point results in the literature. We apply our obtained results to the study of existence and uniqueness of solution to a second-order nonlinear initial-value problem.

On a normal form of symmetric maps of [0, 1]

1980

A class of continuous symmetric mappings of [0, 1] into itself is considered leaving invariant a measure absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure.

Farkas-Minkowski systems in semi-infinite programming

1981

The Farkas-Minkowski systems are characterized through a convex cone associated to the system, and some sufficient conditions are given that guarantee the mentioned property. The role of such systems in semi-infinite programming is studied in the linear case by means of the duality, and, in the nonlinear case, in connection with optimality conditions. In the last case the property appears as a constraint qualification.

New Results on Identifiability of Nonlinear Systems

2004

Abstract In this paper, we recall definition of identifiability of nonlinear systems. We prove equivalence between identifiability and smooth identifiability. This new result justifies our definition of identifiability. In a previous paper (Busvelle and Gauthier, 2003), we have established that • If the number of observations is three or more, then, systems are generically identifiable. • If the number of observations is 1 or 2, then the situation is reversed. Identifiability is not at all generic. Also, we have completely classified infinitesimally identifiable systems in the second case, and in particular, we gave normal forms for identifiable systems. Here, we will give similar results i…

A candidate for a noncompact quantum group

1996

A previous letter (Bidegain, F. and Pinczon, G:Lett. Math. Phys.33 (1995), 231–240) established that the star-product approach of a quantum group introduced by Bonneau et al. can be extended to a connected locally compact semisimple real Lie group. The aim of the present Letter is to give an example of what a noncompact quantum group could be. From half of the discrete series ofSL(2,\(\mathbb{R}\)), a new type of quantum group is explicitly constructed.

Partial *-algebras of closable operators: A review

1996

This paper reviews the theory of partial *-algebras of closable operators in Hilbert space (partial O*-algebras), with some emphasis on partial GW*-algebras. First we discuss the general properties and the various types of partial *-algebras and partial O*-algebras. Then we summarize the representation theory of partial *-algebras, including a generalized Gel’fand-Naimark-Segal construction; the main tool here is the notion of positive sesquilinear form, that we study in some detail (extendability, normality, order structure, …). Finally we turn to automorphisms and derivations of partial O*-algebras, and their mutual relationship. The central theme here is to find conditions that guarante…

Generalized ``transition probability''

1975

An operationally meaningful symmetric function defined on pairs of states of an arbitrary physical system is constructed and is shown to coincide with the usual “transition probability” in the special case of systems admitting a quantum-mechanical description. It can be used to define a metric in the set of physical states. Conceivable applications to the analysis of certain aspects of Quantum Mechanics and to its possible modifications are mentioned.

Construction of chaotic dynamical system

2010

The first‐order difference equation xn+ 1 = f(xn ), n = 0,1,…, where f: R → R, is referred as an one‐dimensional discrete dynamical system. If function f is a chaotic mapping, then we talk about chaotic dynamical system. Models with chaotic mappings are not predictable in long‐term. In this paper we consider family of chaotic mappings in symbol space S 2. We use the idea of topological semi‐conjugacy and so we can construct a family of mappings in the unit segment such that it is chaotic. First published online: 09 Jun 2011

Periodic and Chaotic Orbits of a Neuron Model

2015

In this paper we study a class of difference equations which describes a discrete version of a single neuron model. We consider a generalization of the original McCulloch-Pitts model that has two thresholds. Periodic orbits are investigated accordingly to the different range of parameters. For some parameters sufficient conditions for periodic orbits of arbitrary periods have been obtained. We conclude that there exist values of parameters such that the function in the model has chaotic orbits. Models with chaotic orbits are not predictable in long-term.

Schaefer–Krasnoselskii fixed point theorems using a usual measure of weak noncompactness

2012

Abstract We present some extension of a well-known fixed point theorem due to Burton and Kirk [T.A. Burton, C. Kirk, A fixed point theorem of Krasnoselskii–Schaefer type, Math. Nachr. 189 (1998) 423–431] for the sum of two nonlinear operators one of them compact and the other one a strict contraction. The novelty of our results is that the involved operators need not to be weakly continuous. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our results.
