>IJH=?J An error correcting code is said to be locally testable if there is a test that checks whether a given string is a codeword, or rather far from the code, by reading only a constant number of symbols of the string. While the best known construction of LTCs by Ben-Sasson and Sudan (STOC 2005) and Dinur (J. ACM 54(3)) achieves very ecient parameters, it relies heavily on algebraic tools an...

The aim of the present paper is to obtain common fixed point theorems by employing the recently introduced notion of weak reciprocal continuity. The new notion is a proper generalization of reciprocal continuity and is applicable to compatible mappings as well as noncompatible mappings. We demonstrate that weak reciprocal continuity ensures the existence of common fixed points under contractive...

This essay introduces a symposium on value and exchange as alternative organizing concepts for the pursuit of economic theorizing. These concepts pertain to two distinct conceptual windows though which economic phenomena can be examined. The immediate inspiration for this symposium was Meir Kohn’s (2004) articulation of the distinction, a distinction that in turn was central to James Buchanan’s...

In this paper, we generalize the Meir-Keeler condensing  operators  via a concept of the class of operators  $ O (f;.)$, that was given by Altun and Turkoglu [4], and apply this extension to obtain some tripled fixed point theorems.  As an application of this extension, we  analyze the existence of solution for a system of nonlinear functional integral equations of Volterra type. Finally,  we p...

‎In this article‎, ‎we discuss about solvability of infinite systems of singular integral equations with two variables in the Banach sequence space $C(I times I‎, ‎c)$ by applying measure of noncompactness‎ and Meir-Keeler condensing operators‎. By presenting an example, we have illustrated our results‎. ‎For validity of the results we introduce a modified semi-analytic method in the case of tw...
