Recently, Zhang and Song [Q. Zhang, Y. Song, Fixed point theory forgeneralized $varphi$-weak contractions,Appl. Math. Lett. 22(2009) 75-78] proved a common fixed point theorem for two mapssatisfying generalized $varphi$-weak contractions. In this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem fora family of compatible maps. In fact, a new generalization of Zhangand Song's theorem is given.

a famous theorem of schur states that for a group $g$ finiteness of $g/z(g)$‎ ‎implies the finiteness of $g'.$ the converse of schur's theorem is an interesting problem which has been considered by some‎ ‎authors‎. ‎recently‎, ‎podoski and szegedy proved the truth of the converse of schur's theorem for capable groups‎. ‎they also established an explicit bound for the index of the center of such...

we give a new proof of the well known wedderburn's little theorem (1905) that a finite‎ ‎division ring is commutative‎. ‎we apply the concept of frobenius kernel in frobenius representation theorem in finite group‎ ‎theory to build a proof‎.

we study the limiting distribution of the degree of a given node in a scaled attachment random recursive tree, a generalized random recursive tree, which is introduced by devroye et. al (2011). in a scaled attachment random recursive tree, every node $i$ is attached to the node labeled $lfloor ix_i floor$ where $x_0$, $ldots$ , $x_n$ is a sequence of i.i.d. random variables, with support in [0,...

background breast cancer (bc) is the most common cancer in iranian women. studying the mortality statistics is important to monitor the effects of screening programs or the influence of earlier diagnosis on the burden of this chronic disease. misclassification is still a problem in the iranian death registry data and about 20% of death statistics are recorded in misclassified categories. object...

although homotopy-based methods, namely homotopy analysis method andhomotopy perturbation method, have largely been used to solve functionalequations, there are still serious questions on the convergence issue of thesemethods. some authors have tried to prove convergence of these methods, butthe researchers in this article indicate that some of those discussions are faulty.here, after criticizi...

in this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for six mappings (two set valued and four single valued mappings) without assuming compatibility and continuity of any mapping on non complete metric spaces. to prove the theorem, we use a non compatible condition, that is, weak commutativity of type (kb). we show that completeness of the whole space is not necessary for the existence and uni...

Petrov (1996) proved the connection between general moment conditions and the applicability of the strong law of large numbers to a sequence of pairwise independent and identically distributed random variables. This note examines this connection to a sequence of pairwise negative quadrant dependent (NQD) and identically distributed random variables. As a consequence of the main theorem ...

In this paper, vector ultrametric spaces are introduced and a fixed point theorem is given for correspondences. Our main result generalizes a known theorem in ordinary ultrametric spaces.
