We describe here a new mapping method able to find out connectivity traces among variables thanks to an artificial adaptive system, the Auto Contractive Map (AutoCM), able to define the strength of the associations of each variable with all the others in a dataset. After the training phase, the weights matrix of the AutoCM represents the map of the main connections between the variables. The ex...

A sufficient condition for global synchronization in coupled map lattices (CML) with translation invariant coupling and arbitrary individual map is proved. As in [Jost & Joy, 2001] where CML with reflection invariant couplings are considered, the condition only involves the linearized dynamics in the diagonal, namely for all points in the diagonal, the derivative must be contractive in all tran...

Suppose X = Lp (or Ip), p > 2, and K is a nonempty closed convex bounded subset of X. Suppose T: K —* K is a Lipschitzian strictly pseudo-contractive mapping of K into itself. Let {Cn}^_0 be a real sequence satisfying: (i) 0 < C„ < 1 for all n > 1, (") Z)rT=l Cn = °°> and Then the iteration process, zn G K, Zn+l = (1 — Cn)xn + CnTXn for n > 1, converges strongly to a fixed point of T in K.

We present fixed point theorems for a nonexpansive mapping from a closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space into itself under some asymptotic contraction assumptions. They generalize results valid for bounded convex sets or asymptotically compact sets. In this note we generalize a famous result by Browder [3], Göhde [6] and Kirk [8], recently extended by Luc in [14], by using the ...

We consider valued fields with a distinguished isometry or contractive derivation as valued modules over the Ore ring of difference operators. Under certain assumptions on the residue field, we prove quantifier elimination first in the pure module language, then in that language augmented with a chain of additive subgroups, and finally in a two-sorted language with a valuation map. We apply qua...

The stability of iterative procedures plays an important role while solving the nonlinear equations obtained out of a physical problem using the advanced computational tools. The main purpose of this paper is to present a weaker stability result for Jungck-Ishikawa iteration process for a map satisfying some general contractive conditions in metric spaces. Some well known recent results are als...

2 Department of Applied Mathematics, Chhatrapati Shivaji Institute of Technology, Durg (C.G.), (India) ABSTRACT Image compression is a process of reducing or eliminating all redundant or irrelevant data. The new compression technique called Fractal image compression. This scheme works by partitioning an image into blocks and using contractive mapping to map each range blocks to its matched doma...

We construct a counterexample to Solel’s[25] conjecture that the range of any contractive, idempotent, MASA bimodule map on B(H) is necessarily a ternary subalgebra. Our construction reduces this problem to an analogous problem about the ranges of idempotent maps that are equivariant with respect to a group action. Such maps are important to understand Hamana’s theory of G-injective operator sp...

In a recent paper, Khojasteh emph{et al.} [F. Khojasteh, S. Shukla, S. Radenovi'c, A new approach to the study of fixed point theorems via simulation functions, Filomat, 29 (2015), 1189-&ndash;1194] presented a new class of simulation functions, say $mathcal{Z}$-contractions, with unifying power over known contractive conditions in the literature. Following this line of research, we extend and ...
