NEWTON-LIK E METNODS IN PARTIALLY ORDERED BANACH SPACES

We provide convergence results and error estimates for Newton-like methods in generalized Banach spaces.The idea of a generalized norm is used whichis defined to be a map from a linear space into a partially ordered Banach space.Convergence results and error estimates are improved compared with the real norm theory.

Study of Fixed Point Theorems for Higher Dimension in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of operator , when n is an arbitrary positive integer and X is a partially ordered complete metric space. We have shown examples to verify our work. Our results generalize the recent fixed point theorems cited in [1]-[4] etc. and include several recent developments.

Endpoints of Multi-Valued Weak Contractions on the Metric Space of Partially Ordered Groups

The present work considers the endpoint in the abstract metric space. It firstly introduces the metric space of partially ordered groups and the metric space of partially ordered modules, respectively;and defines the convergence of sequences and the multi-valued weak contractions, etc., on the introduced space. And then, with the methods of functional analysis and abstract algebra, it successively establishes an endpoint theorem for the metric space of partially ordered groups and an endpoint theorem for the metric space of partially ordered modules. The contributions of this article extend the theory of cone metric space constructed by Huang and Zhang (2007) and some recent results on the fixed point and endpoint theory, such as the endpoint theorem given by Amini-Harandi (2010).

From Optimal Stopping Problems over Tree Sets to Optimal Stopping Problems over Partially Ordered Sets

In this paper, we discuss relations between optimal stopping problems over tree sets and partially ordered sets, prove that there is a 1-1 correspondence between them and so every optimal strategy can be obtained in the set of optimal control variables.

Existence and Uniqueness of Fixed Point in Partially Ordered Sets and Applications to Ordinary Differential Equations

We prove some fixed point theorems in partially ordered sets, providing an extension of the Banach contractive mapping theorem. Having studied previously the nondecreasing case, we consider in this paper nonincreasing mappings as well as non monotone mappings. We also present some applications to first-order ordinary differential equations with periodic boundary conditions, proving the existence of a unique solution admitting the existence of a lower solution.

The Torsion-Freeness of Partially Ordered K0-Groups for a Class of Exchange Rings

A ring R is called orthogonal if for any two idempotents e and f in R, the condition that e and f are orthogonal in R implies the condition that [eR] and [fR] are orthogonal in K0(R)+, i.e., [eR]∧[fR] = 0. In this paper, we shall prove that the K0-group of every orthogonal, IBN2 exchange ring is always torsion-free, which generalizes the main result in [3].

Special Relationship among Decision Making Units based on Partially Ordered Set and New Evaluation and Projection Methods

This paper provides data envelopment analysis methods based on partially ordered set theory.These methods reveal the special relationships between two decision making units from the perspective of mathematical theory and offer the classification,projection and improvement methods of decision making units.It is proved that an efficient decision making unit must be a maximal element of the related poset,and the maximal element may not be efficient.For this,we introduce the concepts of minimum envelope and efficiency envelope which further reveal the special relationship among efficient and inefficient decision making units.Compared with the previous methods,this method not only reveals theoretically the complex relationship among decision making units and the causes of the ineffectiveness,but also gives a new importance and competitiveness measurement method to each decision making unit.Finally,related algorithm and examples are given for the application of these methods to complex decision making problems.

Common Fixed Point Results for Quasi-contractions Involving Altering Distance Functions in Ordered Cone Metric Spaces

A sufficient condition for the uniqueness of common fixed point is proved. Also, an example is given to support our results.

Let B（H） be the C^＊-algebra of all bounded linear operators on a complex Hilbert space H. It is proved that an additive surjective map φ on B（H） preserving the star partial order in both directions if and only if one of the following assertions holds. （1） There exist a nonzero complex number a and two unitary operators U and V on H such that φ（X） = a UXV or φ（X） = α UX^＊ V for all X ∈B（H）. （2） There exist a nonzero a and two anti-unitary operators U and V on H such that φ（X） = αUXV or φ（X） = aUX^＊ Vfor all X∈ B（H）.

ATOMIC ORDERING AND DISORDERING OF INTERMETALLIC PHASES

All intermetallic phases have a tendency to atomic long-range ordering, according to the ordering energy, they may be permanently ordered (up to the melting-point) or reversibly ordered (up to a critical temperature). The paper considers ways of disordering intermetallic phases, in relation to the ordering energy and diffusivities, and some properties of partially ordered intermetallic phases (including mechanical properties) The kinetics of re-ordering of disordered starting material will be examined,including sluggishly ordering phases (which can be aided by concurrent irradiation). The circumstances under which a partially disordered intermetallic phase may transform into an amorphous form will be outlined.

Partial Orders on Right Inverse Semigroups

It is well known that there exists the smallest inverse semigroup congruence on an orthodox semigroup. We denote by Y the smallest inverse semigroup congruence on an orthodox semigroup. Let S be a right inverse semigroup. We construct partial orders on S by some kind of its subsemigroups and uncover that partial orders on S have close contact with partial orders on S/Y.

Also, the concept of filter is proposed with some basic properties being studied.

Continuity of Solution Mappings for Parametric Set Optimization Problems under Partial Order Relations

This paper mainly investigates the semicontinuity of solution mappings for set optimization problems under a partial order set relation instead of upper and lower set less order relations. To this end, we propose two types of monotonicity definition for the set-valued mapping introduced by two nonlinear scalarization functions which are presented by these partial order relations. Then, we give some sufficient conditions for the semicontinuity and closedness of solution mappings for parametric set optimization problems. The results presented in this paper are new and extend the main results given by some authors in the literature.

FORCED OSCILLATIONS OF BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS OF HIGHER ORDER FUNCTIONAL PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Partial Ordering of Range Symmetric Matrices and M-Projectors with Respect to Minkowski Adjoint in Minkowski Space

In this paper, we obtain some new characterizations of the range symmetric matrices in the Minkowski Space M by using the Block representation of the matrices. These characterizations are used to establish some results on the partial ordering of the range symmetric matrices with respect to the Minkowski adjoint. Further, we establish some results regarding the partial ordering of m-projectors with respect to the Minkowski adjoint and manipulate them to characterize some sets of range symmetric elements in the Minkowski Space M. All the results obtained in this paper are an extension to the Minkowski space of those given by A. Hernandez, et al. in [The star partial order and the eigenprojection at 0 on EP matrices, Applied Mathematics and Computation, 218: 10669-10678, 2012].

Therefore, this two results are unified.
