Recently, Choudhury and Metiya [Fixed points of weak contractions in cone metric spaces, Nonlinear Analysis 72 (2010) 1589-1593] proved some fixed point theorems for weak contractions in cone metric spaces. Weak contractions are generalizations of the Banach's contraction mapping, which have been studied by several authors. In this paper, we introduce the notion of $f$-weak contractions and als...

[1] Sea surface brightness anomalies caused by a municipal wastewater discharge are detected from space in areas much larger than their submerged turbulence source. The mechanism involves a complex interaction between currents, topography, tides, vertical and horizontal mixing, internal waves and stratified turbulence. Citation: Keeler, R. N., V. G.

We prove a dynamical version of the Mordell-Lang conjecture for étale endomorphisms of quasiprojective varieties. We use p-adic methods inspired by the work of Skolem, Mahler, and Lech, combined with methods from algebraic geometry. As special cases of our result we obtain a new proof of the classical Mordell-Lang conjecture for cyclic subgroups of a semiabelian variety, and we also answer posi...

In this note, we introduce some contractive conditions which complete the corresponding contractive conditions appeared in references [1]-[11]. By these conditions, we prove that twenty-two contractive conditions are equivalent. Then we use these conditions to get some common fixed point theorems for noncompatible maps and some weakly compatible mappings. There are a number of papers dealing wi...
