Resisting anchoring effects: The roles of metric and mapping knowledge.

Exploring the relationship between knowledge and anchoring effects: is the type of knowledge important?

Exploring the relationship between knowledge and anchoring effects: is the type of knowledge important?. 1 ABSTRACT Numeric estimates are influenced by a variety of factors including a person's knowledge and the presence of numeric anchors. In general, greater knowledge leads to more accurate estimates and the presence of anchors decreases accuracy. This dissertation is focused on the relations...

SOME FIXED POINT RESULTS FOR ADMISSIBLE GERAGHTY CONTRACTION TYPE MAPPINGS IN FUZZY METRIC SPACES

In this paper, we introduce the notions of fuzzy $alpha$-Geraghty contraction type mapping and fuzzy $beta$-$varphi$-contractive mapping and establish some interesting results on the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for these two types of mappings in the setting of fuzzy metric spaces and non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. The main results of our work generalize and extend some known ...

Iterative Process for an α- Nonexpansive Mapping and a Mapping Satisfying Condition(C) in a Convex Metric Space

We construct one-step iterative process for an α- nonexpansive mapping and a mapping satisfying condition (C) in the framework of a convex metric space. We study △-convergence and strong convergence of the iterative process to the common fixed point of the mappings. Our results are new and are valid in hyperbolic spaces, CAT(0) spaces, Banach spaces and Hilbert spaces, simultaneously.

The Existence Theorem for Contractive Mappings on $wt$-distance in $b$-metric Spaces Endowed with a Graph and its Application

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for mappings with respect to a $wt$-distance in $b$-metric spaces endowed with a graph. Our results are significant, since we replace the condition of continuity of mapping with the condition of orbitally $G$-continuity of mapping and we consider $b$-metric spaces with graph instead of $b$-metric spaces, under which can be gen...
