Following the work of Shida, Shindoh, and Kojima and of Monteiro and Zanjacomo, we study the issue of existence and uniqueness of search directions in interior-point methods for the monotone LCP over the space of n n symmetric block-diagonal matrices, with particular focus on the direction of Alizadeh, Haeberly, and Overton (AHO). We give an ana-log of a result of Shida et al., characterizing e...

in this paper, the goursat problem of a general form for a linear partial differential equation is investigated with the help of the riemann function method. some results are given concerning the existence and uniqueness for the solution of the suggested problem.

The Ricci flow is an evolution system on metrics. For a given metric as initial data, its local existence and uniqueness on compact manifolds was first established by Hamilton [8]. Later on, De Turck [4] gave a simplified proof. In the later of 80's, Shi [20] generalized the local existence result to complete noncompact manifolds. However, the uniqueness of the solutions to the Ricci flow on co...

motivated by samet et al. [nonlinear anal., 75(4) (2012), 2154-2165], we introduce the notions of $alpha$-$phi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and $beta$-$psi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and prove two theorems which ensure the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for these two types of mappings. the presented theorems extend, generalize and improve the corresponding results given in the literature.

in this paper, we propose a new method for the numerical solution of two-dimensional linear and nonlinear volterra integral equations of the first and second kinds, which avoids from using starting values. an existence and uniqueness theorem is proved and convergence isverified by using an appropriate variety of the gronwall inequality. application of the method is demonstrated for solving the ...
