This paper presents a simple periodic parameter-switching method which can find any stable limit cycle that can be numerically approximated in a generalized Duffing system. In this method, the initial value problem of the system is…
Given a compact set K in the plane, which contains no triple of points forming a vertical and a horizontal segment, and a continuous real-valued map f on K, we give a construction of real-valued continuous maps of one variable g,h such that…
Browder (1960) proved that for every continuous function $F : X \times Y \to Y$, where $X$ is the unit interval and $Y$ is a nonempty, convex, and compact subset of $\dR^n$, the set of fixed points of $F$, defined by $C_F := \{ (x,y) \in X…
We introduce a new type of mappings in metric space which are three-point analogue of the well-known Chatterjea type mappings, and call them generalized Chatterjea type mappings. It is shown that such mappings can be discontinuous as is the…
We introduce the concept of $\it{ startpoint}$ and $\it{endpoint}$ for multivalued maps defined on a quasi-pseudometric space. We investigate the relation between these new concepts and the existence of fixed points for these set valued…
A new similarity measure for two sets of S-parameters is proposed. It is constructed with the modified Hausdorff distance applied to S-parameter points in 3D space with real, imaginary and normalized frequency axes. New S-parameters…
We consider a new type of mappings in metric spaces so-called mappings contracting total pairwise distance on $n$ points. It is shown that such mappings are continuous. A theorem on the existence of periodic points for such mappings is…
We establish a fixed point theorem for mappings of square matrices of all sizes which respect the matrix sizes and direct sums of matrices. The conclusions are stronger if such a mapping also respects matrix similarities, i.e., is a…
For any self-similar measure $\mu$ in $\mathbb{R}$, we show that the distribution of $\mu$ is controlled by products of non-negative matrices governed by a finite or countable graph depending only on the IFS. This generalizes the net…
The aim of this paper is to present some fixed point theorems for generalized contractions by altering distance functions in a complete cone metric spaces endowed with a partial order. We also generalize fixed point theorems of J. Harjani,…
We prove the existence and we study the stability of the kink-like fixed points in a simple Coupled Map Lattice for which the local dynamics has two stable fixed points. The condition for the existence allows us to define a critical value…
We introduce an adaptation of integral approximation operators to set-valued functions (SVFs, multifunctions), mapping a compact interval $[a,b]$ into the space of compact non-empty subsets of ${\mathbb R}^d$. All operators are adapted by…
The aim of this paper is to provide characterizations of a Meir-Keeler type mapping and a fixed point theorem for the mapping in a metric space endowed with a transitive relation.
We study the dynamics of the one-dimensional quasi-affine map $x\mapsto \left\lfloor \lambda x +\mu \right\rfloor$, providing a complete description of the map's periodic points, and of the limit points of every $x\in\mathbb{R}$ under the…
Using the setting of $G$-metric spaces, common fixed point theorems for four maps satisfying the weakly commuting conditions are obtained for various generalized contractive conditions. Several examples are also presented to show the…
We consider distributed systems with an arbitrary number of processes, modelled by timed automata that communicate through location guards: a process can take a guarded transition if at least one other process is in a given location. In…
Generally, the normal displacement-based formation control has a sensing mode that requires the agent not only to have certain knowledge of its direction, but also to gather its local information characterized by nonnegative coupling…
Startpoints (resp. endpoints) can be defined as "oriented fixed points". They arise naturally in the study of fixed for multi-valued maps defined on quasi-metric spaces. In this article, we give a new result in the startpoint theory for…
An equidistant set in the Euclidean space consists of points having equal distances to both members of a given pair of sets, called focal sets. Having no effective formulas to compute the distance of a point and a set, it is hard to…
Multidimensional persistence studies topological features of shapes by analyzing the lower level sets of vector-valued functions. The rank invariant completely determines the multidimensional analogue of persistent homology groups. We prove…
