This paper proposes a variant of the classical HAUSMAN specifi cation test commonly employed to decide whether the estimation of a random-eff ects model is a viable alternative to estimating fi xed eff ects. Whereas the classical test probes the equality of fi xedand random eff ects, the proposed variant focuses on the equality of between-groups and fi xed-eff ects coeffi cients. While both tes...

In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for fractional evolution equations with nonlocalconditions. These results are obtained using Banach contraction xed point theorem. Other resultsare also presented using Krasnoselskii theorem.

In this paper, we give some xed point theorems for '-weak contractivetype mappings on complete G-metric space, which was given by Zaed andSims [1]. Also a homotopy result is given.

This paper deals with adaptive simulation of time-dependent problems. Mesh adaptation for unsteady con gurations is especially important as the phenomenon evolves in the whole computational domain and, in order to capture such a phenomenon accurately on adapted meshes, one has to predict the evolution path. Here, we propose a new adaptive algorithm for time-dependent simulation; the idea is to ...

some algorithms for nding common xed point of a family of mappings isconstructed. indeed, let c be a nonempty closed convex subset of a uniformlyconvex banach space x whose norm is gateaux dierentiable and let {tn} bea family of self-mappings on c such that the set of all common fixed pointsof {tn} is nonempty. we construct a sequence {xn} generated by the hybridmethod and also we give the ...

Several models and/or several variable combinations could be used to predict the diameter distribution of a stand. Typically, a fi xed model and a fi xed variable combination is used in all conditions. The calibration procedure, however, makes it possible to choose the measurement combination from among many possibilities, although the model used is fi xed. In this study, the usefulness of util...

we introduce an implicit method for nding a common element of the set of solutions of systems of equilibrium problems and the set of common xed points of a sequence of nonexpansive mappings and a representation of nonexpansive mappings. then we prove the strong convergence of the proposed implicit schemes to the unique solution of a variational inequality, which is the optimality condition fo...

In this paper, coupled xed point results of Bhaskar-Lakshmikantham type [T. Gnana Bhaskar, V.Lakshmikantham, Fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces and applications, NonlinearAnalysis 65 (2006) 1379-1393] are extend, generalized, unify and improved by using monotonemappings instead mappings with mixed monotone property. Also, an example is given to supportthese improvements.
