This paper studies the equivalence of exponential ergodicity and L-exponential convergence mainly for continuous-time Markov chains. In the reversible case, we show that the known criteria for exponential ergodicity are also criteria for L-exponential convergence. Until now, no criterion for L-exponential convergence has appeared in the literature. Some estimates for the rate of convergence of ...

the sequential $p$-convergence in a fuzzy metric space, in the sense of george and veeramani, was introduced by d. mihet as a weaker concept than convergence. here we introduce a stronger concept called $s$-convergence, and we characterize those fuzzy metric spaces in which convergent sequences are $s$-convergent. in such a case $m$ is called an $s$-fuzzy metric. if $(n_m,ast)$ is a fuzzy metri...

If r is positive, problem (0.1) can be studied in the context of Hermitian and self-adjoint operators in the Hilbert space L*(r) with the in...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of an extended metric space ($p$-metric space) as a new generalization of the concept of $b$-metric space. Also, we present the concept of $(psi ,varphi )_{Omega}$-contractive mappings and we establish some fixed point results for this class of mappings in ordered complete $p$-metric spaces. Our results generalize several well...

The purpose of this paper is to establish fixed point results for a single mapping in a partially ordered modular metric space, and to prove a common fixed point theorem for two self-maps satisfying some weak contractive inequalities.

Recently, Cho et al. [Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, S. H. Wang, Common xed point theorems on generalized distance in ordered cone metric spaces, Comput. Math. Appl. 61 (2011) 1254-1260] dened the concept of the c-distance in a cone metric space and proved some xed point theorems on c-distance. In this paper, we prove some new xed point and common xed point theorems by using the distance in ordered con...

We study a stochastic model of influence where agents have “yes” or “no” inclinations on some issue, and opinions may change due to mutual influence among the agents. Each agent independently aggregates the opinions of the other agents and possibly herself. We study influence processes modelled by ordered weighted averaging operators, which are anonymous: they only depend on how many agents sha...

In this paper we introduce strong $I^K$-convergence of functions which is common generalization of strong $I^*$-convergence of functions in probabilistic metric spaces. We also define and study strong $I^{K}$-limit points of functions in same space.

In the present paper‎, ‎we show the existence of a coupled fixed point for a non-decreasing mapping in partially ordered complete metric space using a partial order induced by an appropriate function $phi$‎. ‎We also define the concept of weakly related mappings on an ordered space‎. ‎Moreover common coupled fixed points for two and three weakly related mappings are also proved in the same space‎.
