A new type of ordinary differential equation is introduced and discussed: time-dependent order ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved via fractional calculus by transforming them into Volterra integral equations of second kind wi...

Cellular automata (CA) are parallel computational models that comprise of a grid of cells. CA is mainly used for modeling complex systems in various fields, where the geometric structure of the lattices is different. In the absence of a CA model to a...

A single qubit may be represented on the Bloch sphere or similarly on the 3-sphere S 3 . Our goal is to dress this correspondence by converting the language of universal quantum computing (UQC) to that of 3-manifolds. A magic state and the Pau...

Noticing that E -convexity, m-convexity and b-invexity have similar structures in their definitions, there are some possibilities to treat these three class of mappings uniformly. For this purpose, the definitions of the ( E , m ) -convex...

18 December 2018

Using the concept of binary relation R , we initiate a notion of Θ R -contraction and obtain some fixed point results for such mappings in the setting of complete metric spaces. Furthermore, we establish some new results of fixed...

18 December 2018

In the present work we study the oscillatory behavior of three dimensional α -fractional nonlinear delay differential system. We establish some sufficient conditions that will ensure all solutions are either oscillatory or converges to zer...
