In this paper, we present some fixed point theorems for single valued mappings on $K$-complete, $M$-complete and Symth complete quasi metric spaces. Here, for contractive condition, we consider some altering distance functions together with functions belonging to $C$-class and $A$-class. At the same time, we will consider two different type $M$ functions in contractive conditions because the qu...

The performance of an optimized tree-type cylindrical-shaped nanoporous fltering membrane proposed in the former study is analytically investigated for varying operational parameter values. Across the membrane thickness, this membrane has two-leveled tree-structured pores including one trunk pore and the multiple branch pores. The physical properties of the surfaces of ...

Let $G$ be a finite non-abelian $p$-group and $L(G)$ denotes the absolute center of $G$. Also, let $Aut^{L}(G)$ and $Aut_c(G)$ denote the group of all absolute central and the class preserving automorphisms of $G$, respectively. In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for $G$ such that $Aut_c(G)=Aut^{L}(G)$. We also characterize all finite non-abelian $p$-groups of order $p^...

This article studies stabilisation problem for time-varying linear systems via state feedback. Two types of controllers are designed by utilising solutions to Lyapunov differential equations. The first type of feedback controllers involves the unique positive-definite solution to a parametric Lyapunov differential equation, which can be solved when either the state transition matrix of the open...

A portion of Arizona's San Pedro River is managed as a National Riparian Conservation Area but is potentially affected by ground-water withdrawals beyond the conservation area borders. We applied an assessment model to the Conservation Area as a basis for monitoring long-term changes in riparian ecosystem condition resulting from changes in river water availability, and collected multi-year dat...

We combine ideas from relation-based data management with class hierarchies to obtain Hierarchical Knowledge Bases, which have greater expressive power while maintaining the beneets of predictable and eecient information processing. We then consider the problem of reasoning with certain limited forms of disjunctive information. We show that hierarchical knowledge bases can be used for eecient a...

The aim of this work was to establish the effect of the dose of liquid cow manure (LCM) on some chemical properties and biological activity in an Andisol. This study was carried out under laboratory conditions using an Andisol and LCM from a dairy farm located in the South of Chile. The dose of LCM were the equivalent to 0 (S0), 100 (S100), 200, (S200) and 300 (S300) thousand L ha. This amount ...

This paper discusses the existence of limit cycles in a class of hybrid dynamical systems (HDSs), and derives a condition on system parameters for easily checking local stability. In this paper, we focus on piecewise affine (PWA) systems as a special class of HDSs. Assuming some symmetry on PWA systems, we obtain a simplified existence condition and a stability condition of limit cycles.
