There are a lot of generalizations of the Banach contraction mapping principle in the literature. One of the most interesting of them is the result of Khan et al. 1 . They addressed a new category of fixed point problems for a single self-map with the help of a control function which they called an altering distance function. A function φ : 0,∞ → 0,∞ is called an altering distance function if φ...

By using the modified Milne-Thomson's polynomial given in Araci et al. (Appl Math Inf Sci 8(6):2803-2808, 2014), we introduce a new concept of the Apostol Hermite-Genocchi polynomials. We also perform a further investigation for aforementioned polynomial and derive some implicit summation formulae and general symmetric identities arising from different analytical means and generating functions ...

Recently, bio-information has been playing an important role in modern user authentication schemes. In 2004, Lin and Lai proposed a flexible biometrics remote user authentication scheme. However, their scheme is vulnerable and cannot provide mutual authentication between user and remote system. Hence, Khan and Zhang improved the security of a flexible biometrics remote user authentication schem...
