We introduce and study the convergence properties of a projection-type algorithm for solving the variational inequality problem for point-to-set operators. No monotoni\-city assumption is used in our analysis. The operator defining the…

In this paper, we introduce several types of correspondences: weakly naturally quasiconvex, *-weakly naturally quasiconvex, weakly biconvex and correspondences with *--weakly convex graph and we prove some fixed point theorems for these…

This paper explores the fundamental limits of a simple system, inspired by the intermittent Kalman filtering model, where the actuation direction is drawn uniformly from the unit hypersphere. The model allows us to focus on a fundamental…

The Ran-Reurings fixed point theorem [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 132 (2004), 1435-1443] is but a particular case of Maia's [Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova, 40 (1968), 139-143]. A "functional" version of this last result is then provided, in a…

For a fixed unit vector a=(a_1,a_2,...,a_n) in S^{n-1}, i.e. sum_{i=1}^n a_i^2=1, we consider the 2^n sign vectors epsilon=(epsilon_1,epsilon_2,...,epsilon_n) in {-1,1}^n and the corresponding scalar products a.epsilon=sum_{i=1}^n a_i…

We prove an extension of a ham sandwich theorem for families of lines in the plane by Dujmovi\'{c} and Langerman. Given two sets $A, B$ of $n$ lines each in the plane, we prove that it is possible to partition the plane into $r$ convex…

For $0<q\le 2,\ 1\le k < n,$ let $X=(X_1,...,X_n)$ and $Y=(Y_1,...,Y_n)$ be symmetric $q$-stable random vectors so that the joint distributions of $X_1,...,X_k$ and $X_{k+1},...,X_n$ are equal to the joint distributions of $Y_1,...,Y_k$ and…

This paper considers a class of thrust vectoring systems, which are nonlinear, overactuated, and time-invariant. We assume that the system is composed of two subsystems and there exist singular points around which the linearized system is…

We prove three theorems giving fixed points for orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the plane following forgotten results of Brouwer.

In this paper we introduce two new generalized variational inequalities, and we give some existence results of the solutions for these variational inequalities involving operators belonging to a recently introduced class of operators. We…

Given $n+1$ unit vectors in $\mathbf{R}^n$ or $\mathbf{C}^n,$ consider the absolute values of the determinants of the vectors taken $n$ at a time. By taking a geometric perspective, we show that the minimum of these determinants is…

Necessary and sufficient conditions of uniform consistency are explored. A hypothesis is simple. Nonparametric sets of alternatives are bounded convex sets in $\mathbb{L}_p$, $p >1$ with "small" balls deleted. The "small" balls have the…

We prove bounds for the number of solutions to $$a_1 + \dots + a_k = a_1' + \dots + a_k'$$ over $N$-element sets of reals, which are sufficiently convex or near-convex. A near-convex set will be the image of a set with small additive…

For the planar $N$-centre problem $$ \ddot x = - \sum_{i=1}^N \frac{m_i (x-c_i)}{| x - c_i|^{\alpha+2}}, \qquad x \in \mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{ c_1,\ldots,c_N \}, $$ where $m_i > 0$ for $i=1,\ldots,N$ and $\alpha \in [1,2)$, we prove the…

In this paper we consider Kakutani's extension of the Brouwer fixed point theorem within the framework of Bishop's constructive mathematics. Kakutani's fixed point theorem is classically equivalent to Brouwer's fixed point theorem. The…

We consider the equilibria of point particles under the action of two body central forces in which there are both repulsive and attractive interactions, often known as central configurations, with diverse applications in physics, in…

A balanced pair in a finite ordered set $P=(V,\leq)$ is a pair $(x,y)$ of elements of $V$ such that the proportion of linear extensions of $P$ that put $x$ before $y$ is in the real interval $[1/3, 2/3]$. We prove that every finite $N$-free…

This paper investigates equilibrium points and stability in two synchronous machine configurations: (i) a single generator with an impedance load and (ii) two interconnected machines with co-located loads. We consider both abc and dq…

We consider Borwein-Preiss and Ekeland variational principles using distance functions that neither is symmetric nor enjoy the triangular inequality. All the given results rely exclusively on the convergence and continuity behaviors induced…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$, $n\ge 2$, be a bounded connected $C^2$ domain. For any unit vector $\nu\in\mathbb{R}^n$, let $T_{\lambda}^{\nu}=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:x\cdot\nu=\lambda\}$,…
