Mappings between related ontologies are increasingly used to support data integration and analysis tasks. Changes in the ontologies also require the adaptation of ontology mappings. So far the evolution of ontology mappings has received little attention albeit ontologies change continuously especially in the life sciences. We therefore analyze how mappings between popular life science ontologie...

The asymptotically nonexpansive mappings have been introduced by Goebel and Kirk in 1972. Since then, a large number of authors have studied the weak and strong convergence problems of the iterative algorithms for such a class of mappings. It is well known that the asymptotically nonexpansive mappings is a proper subclass of the class of asymptotically pseudocontractive mappings. In the present...

A mapping $f:V^n longrightarrow W$, where $V$ is a commutative semigroup, $W$ is a linear space and $n$ is a positive integer, is called multi-additive if it is additive in each variable. In this paper we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of multi-additive mappings in 2-Banach spaces. The corollaries from our main results correct some outcomes from [W.-G. Park, Approximate additive mappings i...

‎‎‎Recently Samet et al. introduced the notion of $alpha$-$psi$-contractive type mappings and established some fixed point theorems in complete metric spaces. In this paper, we introduce $alpha$-$(psi,varphi)$-contractive mappings and stablish coincidence and common fixed point theorems for two mapping in complete metric spaces. We present some examples to illustrate our results. As application...

Recently, Phiangsungnoen et al. [J. Inequal. Appl. 2014:201 (2014)] studied fuzzy mappings in the framework of Hausdorff fuzzy metric spaces.Following this direction of research, we establish the existence of fixed fuzzy points of fuzzy mappings. An example is given to support the result proved herein; we also present a coincidence and common fuzzy point result. Finally, as an application of ou...

Generalized Geraghty type fuzzy mappings oncomplete metric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem thatgeneralizes some recent comparable results for fuzzy mappings incontemporary literature is obtained. Example is provided to show thevalidity of obtained results over comparable classical results for fuzzymappings in fixed point theory. As an application, existence of coincidencefuzzy p...

The concept of fuzzy sets was introduced by Zadeh [21] in 1965. After that a lot of work has been done regarding fuzzy sets and fuzzy mappings. The concept of fuzzy mappings was first introduced by Heilpern [10], he proved fixed point theorem for fuzzy contraction mappings which is a fuzzy analogue of the fixed point theorem for multi valued mappings of Nadler [15], Vijayraju and Marudai [19] g...

The notions of Lipschitz and bilipschitz mappings provide classes of mappings connected to the geometry of metric spaces in certain ways. A notion between these two is given by “regular mappings” (reviewed in Section 1), in which some non-bilipschitz behavior is allowed, but with limitations on this, and in a quantitative way. In this paper we look at a class of mappings called (s, t)-regular m...

To achieve interoperability, modern information systems and e-commerce applications use mappings to translate data from one representation to another. In dynamic environments like the Web, data sources may change not only their data but also their schemas, their semantics, and their query capabilities. Such changes must be reflected in the mappings. Mappings left inconsistent by a schema change...

We show that the computational complexity of Riemann mappings can be bounded by the complexity needed to compute conformal mappings locally at boundary points. As a consequence we get first formally proven upper bounds for Schwarz-Christoffel mappings and, more generally, Riemann mappings of domains with piecewise analytic boundaries.
