We consider the Dirichlet problem u_t &= \Delta u + f(x, u, \nabla u)+ h(x, t),& \qquad &(x, t) \in \Omega \times (0, \infty), u &= 0, & \qquad &(x, t) \in \partial\Omega \times (0, \infty), on a bounded domain $\Omega \subset…
This note will present a new proof of the fact that every uniformly bounded group of invertible elements in a finite von Neumann algebra is similar to a unitary group. The proof involves metric geometric arguments in the non-positively…
A little-known and highly economical characterization of the real interval [0, 1], essentially due to Freyd, states that the interval is homeomorphic to two copies of itself glued end to end, and, in a precise sense, is universal as such.…
A paper, entitled "Uniform stabilization for the Timoshenko beam by a locally distributed damping" was published in 2003, in the journal Electronic Journal of Differential Equations. Its title concerns exclusively its Section 3, devoted to…
The purpose of this paper is to present some multidimensional fixed-point theorems and their applications. For this, we provide a multidimensional fixed point theorem and then using this theorem we prove the existence and uniqueness of a…
One of the conclusions of Browder (1960) is a parametric version of Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem, stating that for every continuous function $f : ([0,1] \times X) \to X$, where $X$ is a simplex in a Euclidean space, the set of fixed points…
We prove fixed point theorems in a space with a distance function that takes values in a partially ordered monoid. On the one hand, such an approach allows one to generalize some fixed point theorems in a broad class of spaces, including…
G\"ahler ([4],[5]) introduced and investigated the notion of 2-metric spaces and 2-normed spaces in sixties. These concepts are inspired by the notion of area in two dimensional Euclidean space. In this paper, we choose a fundamentally…
Nonexpansive mappings play a central role in modern optimization and monotone operator theory because their fixed points can describe solutions to optimization or critical point problems. It is known that when the mappings are sufficiently…
Brouwer's fixed point theorem states that any continuous function from a closed $n$-dimensional ball to itself has a fixed point. In 1961, Klee showed that if such a function has discontinuities that are bounded, then it has a point that is…
Derrick's theorem on the nonexistence of stable time-independent scalar field configurations [G. H. Derrick, J. Math. Phys. 5, 1252 (1964)] is generalized to finite systems of arbitrary dimension. It is shown that the "dilation" argument…
In this paper the claim that Zeno's paradoxes have been solved is contested. Although no one has ever touched Zeno without refuting him (Whitehead), it will be our aim to show that, whatever it was that was refuted, it was certainly not…
This paper provides some counterexamples to Cantor's contributions to the foundations of Set Theory. The first counterexample forces Cantor's Diagonal Method (DM) to yield one of the numbers in the target list. To study this anomaly, and…
A fixed point theorem is proved for inverse transducers, leading to an automata-theoretic proof of the fixed point subgroup of an endomorphism of a finitely generated virtually free group being finitely generated. If the endomorphism is…
Algebraic dichotomy is a generalization of an exponential dichotomy (Lin, JDE2009). This paper gives a version of Hartman-Grobman linearization theorem assuming that linear system admits an algebraic dichotomy, which generalizes the…
We prove a global fixed point theorem for the centralizer of a homeomorphism of the two dimensional disk $D$ that has attractor-repeller dynamics on the boundary with at least two attractors and two repellers. As one application, we show…
We introduce a new class of abstract structures, which we call generalized ultrametric semilattices, and in which the meet operation of the semilattice coexists with a generalized distance function in a tightly coordinated way. We prove a…
In this paper we present a new proof of Solovay's theorem on arithmetical completeness of G\"odel-L\"ob provability logic GL. Originally, completeness of GL with respect to interpretation of $\Box$ as provability in PA was proved by R.…
The following natural question arises from Shalom's innovational work (1999, Publ. IHES): "Can we establish an intrinsic criterion to synthesize relative fixed point properties into the whole fixed point property without assuming Bounded…
We develop a geometric framework that unifies several different combinatorial fixed-point theorems related to Tucker's lemma and Sperner's lemma, showing them to be different geometric manifestations of the same topological phenomena. In…
