A DataSpace Support Platform (DSSP) is a self-sustained and self-managed system which needs to support uncertainty among its mediated schemas and its schema mappings. Some approaches for managing such uncertainty by assigning probabilities and reliability degrees to schema mappings have been proposed. Unfortunately, the number of mappings self-generated by a DSSP is usually too large and among ...

abstract. let mn;m be the set of n-by-m matrices with entries inthe field of real numbers. a matrix r in mn = mn;n is a generalizedrow substochastic matrix (g-row substochastic, for short) if re e, where e = (1; 1; : : : ; 1)t. for x; y 2 mn;m, x is said to besgut-majorized by y (denoted by x sgut y ) if there exists ann-by-n upper triangular g-row substochastic matrix r such thatx = ry . th...

Bipartite quantum states are classified into three categories: separable states, bound entangled states, and free entangled states. It is of great importance to characterize these families of states for the development of quantum information science. In this Letter, I show that the separable states and the bound entangled states have a common spectral property. More precisely, I prove that for ...

Two new penalty methods for sparse reconstruction are proposed based on two types of difference of convex functions (DC for short) programming in which the DC objective functions are the difference of l1 and lσq norms and the difference of l1 and lr norms with r > 1. By introducing a generalized qterm shrinkage operator upon the special structure of lσq norm, we design a proximal gradient algor...

The second order sequential best rotation (SBR2) algorithm was originally developed for achieving the strong decorrelation of convolutively mixed sensor array signals. It was observed that the algorithm always seems to produce spectrally majorized output signals, but this property has not previously been proven. In this work, we have taken a fresh look at the SBR2 algorithm in terms of its pote...

The concept of 2-metric space is a natural generalization of the metric space. Initially, it has been investigated by Gähler [3] and has been developed broadly by Gähler [4, 5] and more. After this number of fixed point theorems have been proved for 2-metric spaces by introducing compatible mappings, which are more general than commuting and weakly commuting mappings. Jungck and Rhoades defined...

In this paper an approach to joint source-channel coding (JSCC), named Shannon-Kotel’nikov mappings (SKmappings), is presented. SK-mappings are (piecewise) continuous direct source-to-channel mappings operating directly on amplitude continuous discrete time signals. A theory for calculating and categorizing the end-to-end distortion when using SK-mappings for communication is presented. The the...

We extend the notion of generalized weakly contraction mappings due to Choudhury et al. (2011) to generalized α-β-weakly contraction mappings. We show with examples that our new class of mappings is a real generalization of several known classes of mappings. We also establish fixed point results for such mappings in metric spaces. Applying our new results, we obtain fixed point results on ordin...

We propose discrete mappings of second order that have a discrete analogue of Lyapunov function. The mappings are extensions of the integrable Quispel-RobertsThompson (QRT) mapping, and a discrete Lyapunov function of the mappings is identical to an explicit conserved quantity of the QRT mapping. Moreover we can obtain a differential and an ultradiscrete limit of the mappings preserving the exi...

In this paper, we first introduce a new family of functions like an implicit function called ?-functions. Furthermore, concept ?-?F-fuzzy contractive mappings, which is weaker than the class fuzzy F-contractive mappings. Then, existence and uniqueness fixed point are established for type mappings in setting metric spaces. Moreover, some examples application to nonlinear fractional differential ...
