Strong convergence theorem for solving split equality fixed point problem which does not involve the prior knowledge of operator norms
Our contribution in this paper is to propose an iterative algorithm which does not require prior knowledge of operator norm and prove a strong convergence theorem for approximating a solution of split equality fixed point problem for quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a real Hilbert space. So many have used algorithms involving the operator norm for solving split equality fixed point problem, ...

However, the economic policies of the country can inform any attempt in this regard. To estimate the extent to which such policies have impacted equal and timely access to education in Ir...
متن کاملTrust, Welfare States and Income Equality: What Causes What?
The cross-country correlation between social trust and income equality is well documented, but few studies examine the direction of causality. We show theoretically that by facilitating cooperation, trust may increase efficiency and lead to more equal outcomes, while the feedback from inequality to trust is ambiguous. Using a structural equations model estimated on a large country sample, we fi...
متن کاملEquality and the duty to retard human ageing.

And if so, how much should we invest in the basic science that studies the biology of ageing and could lead to interventions that modify the biological processes of human ageing? I consider two prominent accounts of equ...
متن کاملCommentary on Dissertations
There is an aura about sessions such as this which suggests analogies to a fraternity initiation. Given that, one of the first questions the discussant must ask himself is where his discussion stands in relation to "Hell Week." All of us, I believe, would agree that "Hell Week" is the responsibility of the pledge trainer, or dissertation adviser in this case. If "Hell Week" is over, is the disc...
