Baby boomers will begin entering old age in 2011. They will be the largest and most diverse cohort ever to experience this life-course transition. The sheer number of baby boomers has challenged institutions time after time (Dychtwald, 1990). Despite extensive speculation regarding the political, economic, and social impact that the aging of baby boomers will have on American society, no one ha...

We argue that the giant graviton configurations known from the literature have a complementary, microscopical description in terms of multiple gravitational waves undergoing a dielectric (or magnetic moment) effect. We present a non-Abelian effective action for these gravitational waves with dielectric couplings and show that stable dielectric solutions exist. These solutions agree in the large...

‎our contribution in this paper is to propose an iterative algorithm which does not require prior knowledge of operator norm and prove a strong convergence theorem for approximating a solution of split equality fixed point problem for quasi-nonexpansive mappings in a real hilbert space‎. ‎so many have used algorithms involving the operator norm for solving split equality fixed point problem‎, ‎...

This paper introduces an iterative method to estimate the cointegrating vectors in the error correction models. The method provides the asymptotically efficient estimators for the cointegrating vectors if iterated once or more. If it is iterated until convergence, we may obtain the maximum likelihood estimator by Johansen. For all values of 1 ≤ k ≤ ∞, the k-step iterative estimators are asympto...

In this paper, we introduce a modified three-step iterative scheme for approximating a fixed point of nonexpansive mappings in the framework of uniformly smooth Banach spaces and the reflexive Banach spaces which have a weakly continuous duality map, respectively. we establish the strong convergence of the modified three-step iterative scheme. The results improve and extend recent ones given by...

A qualitative analysis of one-step iterative methods is presented with special regard to the connection between concavity preservation and time-monotonicity. We also analyze the relation of one-step iterative methods to matrix splitting methods. c © 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, the stabilization of neutral time-delay systems is investigated. An efficient numerical approach is presented in an algorithm to establish results so that stability of such systems is achieved and stabilizing PID parameters are determined directly. It is based on determining the rightmost characteristic roots and Nyquist plot. The NewtonRaphson’s iterative method based on Lambert...

We study certain stationary and time-evolution problems of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates using the numerical solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with both spherical and axial symmetries. We consider time-evolution problems initiated by changing the interatomic scattering length or harmonic trapping potential suddenly in a stationary condensate. These changes introduce oscillations in ...
