In a setting, where only “exit measures” are given, as they are associated with a right continuous strong Markov process on a separable metric space, we provide simple criteria for scaling invariant Hölder continuity of bounded harmonic functions with respect to a distance function which, in applications, may be adapted to the special situation. In particular, already a very weak scaling proper...

three-dimensional surface geometry of rock discontinuities and its evolution with shearing are of great importance in understanding the deformability and hydro-mechanical behavior of rock masses. in the present research, surfaces of three natural rock fractures were digitized and studied before and after the direct shear test. the variography analysis of the surfaces indicated a strong non-line...

The study investigated continuity, comorbidity and longitudinal associations between depression Beck depression inventory (RBDI) and antisocial behaviour Youth self-report (YSR) in middle adolescence. Data were used from a community sample of 2070 adolescents who participated in a 2-year prospective follow-up study. The results indicate that both depression and antisocial behaviour had consider...

In this paper we propose a novel double projection recurrent neural network model for solving pseudomonotone variational inequalities based on a technique of updating the state variable and fixed point theorem. This model is stable in the sense of Lyapunov and globally convergent for problems that satisfy Lipschitz continuity and pseudomonotonicity conditions. The global exponential stability o...

abstract background: continuation of delivery care by a midwife, and establishing a relationship between the midwife and the delivering woman, is so important for women, and preserving such relationship increases woman’s calmness and self-confi dence. the current research aims at studying the effect of midwifery continuing care during delivery on delivery outcomes. materials and methods: this s...

In this paper, a discontinuity in beams whose intensity is adjusted by the spring stiffness factor is modeled using a torsional spring. Adapting two analyses in strong and weak forms for discontinuous beams, the improved governing differential equations and the modified stiffness matrix are derived respectively. In the strong form, two different solution methods have been presented to make an a...

The aim of the present paper is to obtain common fixed point theorems by employing the recently introduced notion of conditional reciprocal continuity. We demonstrate that conditional reciprocal continuity ensures the existence of fixed points under contractive conditions which otherwise do not ensure the existence of fixed points. Our results generalize and extend several well-known fixed poin...

We study two continuity concepts for set-valued maps that play central roles in quantitative stability analysis of optimization problems: Aubin continuity and Lipschitzian localization. We show that various inverse function theorems involving these concepts can be deduced from a single general result on existence of solutions to an inclusion in metric spaces. As applications, we analyze the sta...

The rapid growth of wired and wireless access technologies integrated with great needs of user nomad supporting services provides strong motivations to focus on the service continuity in a heterogeneous environment. In this paper, we present a personalization and mobility aware service enabler through the session mobility to support service continuity. A four-leveled architecture in the aim of ...

In this paper, we introduce a new resolvent operator and we call it relaxed resolvent operator. We prove that relaxed resolvent operator is single-valued and Lipschitz continuous and finally we approximate the solution of a variational inclusion problem in Hilbert spaces by defining an iterative algorithm based on relaxed resolvent operator. A few concepts like Lipschitz continuity and strong m...
