 Common fixed point result for two self-maps in $G$-metric spaces 143$-$150 Wasfi Shatanawi

Abstract

In this paper, we prove a fixed point result for two maps in a generalized metric space $(X,G)$. Also, we prove the uniqueness of such fixed point. This result generalizes some well known results in the literature due to M. Abbas and B.E. Rhoades [Common fixed point results for noncommuting mapping without continuity in generalized metric spaces, Appl. Math. Computation 215 (2009), 262--269] and W. Shatanawi [Fixed point theory for contractive mappings satisfying $\Phi$-maps in $G$-metric spaces, Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2010 (2010), Article ID 181650, 9 pages].

Keywords: Common fixed point; weakly compatible maps; generalized metric spaces.

 Nonlinear differential polynomials sharing a small function 151$-$165 Pulak Sahoo and Sajahan Seikh

Abstract

In the paper, we investigate the uniqueness problems on entire and meromorphic functions concerning nonlinear differential polynomials that share a small function and obtain some results which improve and generalize some previous results due to Zhang-Chen-Lin, Banerjee-Bhattacharjee and Xu-Han-Zhang.

Keywords: Uniqueness; meromorphic function; nonlinear differential polynomials.

 Exponential dichotomy and strongly stable vectors of Hilbert space contraction semigroups 166$-$177 Nhan Levan and Carlos S. Kubrusly

Abstract

The paper deals with exponential dichotomy and its relationship with strongly stable vectors associated with Hilbert space semigroups. Contraction semigroups are decomposed by using the strongly stability operator associated with the semigroup. Necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential stability and non-exponential stability are investigated in terms of norm inequalities---instead of a Lyapunov operator equation.

Keywords: Exponential stability; strong stability; exponential dichotomy; strong dichotomy

 Sandwich-type results for a class of functions defined by a generalized differential operator 178$-$186 Priyabrat Gochhayat

Abstract

By making use of a generalized differential operator a new class of non-Bazilevič functions is introduced. Differential sandwich-type theorem for the above class is investigated. Relevant connections of the results, which are presented in this paper, with various other known results are also pointed out.

Keywords: Univalent function; derivative operator; differential subordination; differential superordination.

 Common fixed point results for non-linear contractions in $G$-metric spaces 204$-$212 Hassen Aydi

Abstract

We establish common fixed point results for three self-mappings on a $G$-metric space satisfying non linear contractions. Also, we prove the uniqueness of such common fixed point, as well as studying the $G$-continuity at such point. Our results extend some known works. Also, an example is given to illustrate our obtained results.

Keywords: $G$-metric space; common fixed point; non-linear contraction; $G$-continuity.

 Relative order of entire functions of several complex variables 222$-$233 Ratan Kumar Dutta

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the idea of relative order of entire functions of several complex variables. After proving some basic results, we observe that the relative order of a transcendental entire function with respect to an entire function is the same as that of its partial derivatives. Further we study the equality of relative order of two functions when they are asymptotically equivalent.

Keywords: Entire functions; relative order; several complex variables; polydisc; property (R).

Abstract

In this paper we present some new results on Camina groups. Infinite generalizations of Camina groups and generalized Camina groups are also discussed. We further define and study some new group structures which arise out of inter-relations between conjugacy classes, order classes, and cosets with respect to a normal subgroup.

 Fixed point techniques and stability in nonlinear neutral differential equations with variable delays 271$-$284 Abdelouaheb Ardjouni and Ahcene Djoudi

Abstract

In this paper we use fixed point techniques to obtain asymptotic stability results of the zero solution of a nonlinear neutral differential equation with variable delays. This investigation uses new conditions which allow the coefficient functions to change sign and do not require the boundedness of delays. An asymptotic stability theorem with a necessary and sufficient condition is proved. The obtained results improve and extend those due to Burton, Zhang, Raffoul, Jin and Luo, Ardjouni and Djoudi, and Djoudi and Khemis. Two examples are also given to illustrate this work.

Keywords: Fixed points; stability; neutral differential equation; integral equation; variable delays.
