Recently, Andrews, Bhattacharjee and Dastidar introduced the concept of $k$-measure of an integer partition, and proved a surprising identity that the number of partitions of $n$ which have $2$-measure $m$ is equal to the number of…

In this article we establish some fixed point (known also as critical point, invariant point) theorems in quasi-metric spaces. Our results unify and further extend in some regards the fixed point theorem proposed by Dancs et al. (1983), the…

In this paper, we introduce the notion of partially ordered {\epsilon}-chainable metric spaces and we derive new coupled fixed point theorems for uniformly locally contractive mappings on such spaces.

This work proposes block-coordinate fixed point algorithms with applications to nonlinear analysis and optimization in Hilbert spaces. The asymptotic analysis relies on a notion of stochastic quasi-Fej\'er monotonicity, which is thoroughly…

In this paper, we investigate properties of the fixed point sequence of the Josephus function $J_3$. First, we establish a connection between this sequence and the Chinese Remainder Theorem. Next, we identify a clear numerical pattern for…

The Standard Simplex Conjecture of Isaksson and Mossel asks for the partition $\{A_{i}\}_{i=1}^{k}$ of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ into $k\leq n+1$ pieces of equal Gaussian measure of optimal noise stability. That is, for $\rho>0$, we maximize $$…

Let $P$ be a $d$-dimensional $n$-point set. A partition $T$ of $P$ is called a Tverberg partition if the convex hulls of all sets in $T$ intersect in at least one point. We say $T$ is $t$-tolerant if it remains a Tverberg partition after…

We establish some bounds on the number of higher-dimensional partitions by volume. In particular, we give bounds via vector partitions and MacMahon's numbers.

We establish two fixed point theorems for certain mappings of contractive type. The first result is concerned with the case where such mappings take a nonempty, closed subset of a complete metric space $X$ into $X$, and the second with an…

We use fixed point theory to analyze nonnegative neural networks, which we define as neural networks that map nonnegative vectors to nonnegative vectors. We first show that nonnegative neural networks with nonnegative weights and biases can…

We use the method of monotone iterations to obtain fixed point and coupled fixed point results for mixed monotone operators in the setting of partially ordered sets, with no additional assumptions on the partial order and with no…

We establish an approximate fixed point result for self-maps on compact convex subsets of Hausdorff topological vector spaces where continuity is not a necessary condition.

A recent result characterizes the fully order reversing operators acting on the class of lower semicontinuous proper convex functions in a real Banach space as certain linear deformations of the Legendre-Fenchel transform. Motivated by the…

Statistics of distinguishable particles has become relevant in systems of colloidal particles and in the context of applications of statistical mechanics to complex networks. When studying these type of systems with the standard textbook…

A new combinatorial object is introduced, the part-frequency matrix sequence of a partition, which is elementary to describe and is naturally motivated by Glaisher's bijection. We prove results that suggest surprising usefulness for such a…

We investigate the semigroup of integer points inside a convex cone. We extend classical results in integer linear programming to integer conic programming. We show that the semigroup associated with nonpolyhedral cones can sometimes have a…

The celebrated Kleene fixed point theorem is crucial in the mathematical modelling of recursive specifications in Denotational Semantics. In this paper we discuss whether the hypothesis of the aforementioned result can be weakened. An…

We show that every continuous rotative mapping on a closed interval has a fixed point. This gives an answer to some open questions raised by Goebel and Koter.

Following the definition of perturbed metric space, in this paper, some fixed point theorems are established for $ F $-perturbed mappings in complete perturbed metric spaces and justify the result by counter example. Finally, an application…

Let $\Pi_n$ denote the set of all set partitions of $\{1,2,\ldots,n\}$. We consider two subsets of $\Pi_n$, one connected to rook theory and one associated with symmetric functions in noncommuting variables. Let $\cE_n\sbe\Pi_n$ be the…
