In this paper, we propose a generalized viscosity iterative algorithm which includes a sequence of contractions and a self adaptive step size for approximating a common solution of a multiple-set split feasibility problem and fixed point problem for countable families of k-strictly pseudononspeading mappings in the framework of real Hilbert spaces. The advantage of the step size introduced in our algorithm is that it does not require the computation of the Lipschitz constant of the gradient operator which is very difficult in practice. We also introduce an inertial process version of the generalize viscosity approximation method with self adaptive step size. We prove strong convergence results for the sequences generated by the algorithms for solving the aforementioned problems and present some numerical examples to show the efficiency and accuracy of our algorithm. The results presented in this paper extends and complements many recent results in the literature. Full article

In this paper, we present a new self-adaptive inertial projection method for solving split common null point problems in p-uniformly convex and uniformly smooth Banach spaces. The algorithm is designed such that its convergence does not require prior estimate of the norm of the bounded operator and a strong convergence result is proved for the sequence generated by our algorithm under mild conditions. Moreover, we give some applications of our result to split convex minimization and split equilibrium problems in real Banach spaces. This result improves and extends several other results in this direction in the literature. Full article

We develop nonlinear approximations to critical and relaxation phenomena, complemented by the optimization procedures. In the first part, we discuss general methods for calculation of critical indices and amplitudes from the perturbative expansions. Several important examples of the Stokes flow through 2D channels are brought up. Power series for the permeability derived for small values of amplitude are employed for calculation of various critical exponents in the regime of large amplitudes. Special nonlinear approximations valid for arbitrary values of the wave amplitude are derived from the expansions. In the second part, the technique developed for critical phenomena is applied to relaxation phenomena. The concept of time-translation invariance is discussed, and its spontaneous violation and restoration considered. Emerging probabilistic patterns correspond to a local breakdown of time-translation invariance. Their evolution leads to the time-translation invariance complete (or partial) restoration. We estimate the typical time extent, amplitude and direction for such a restorative process. The new technique is based on explicit introduction of origin in time as an optimization parameter. After some transformations, we arrive at the exponential and generalized exponential-type solutions (Gompertz approximants), with explicit finite time scale, which is only implicit in the initial parameterization with polynomial approximation. The concept of crash as a fast relaxation phenomenon, consisting of time-translation invariance breaking and restoration, is advanced. Several COVID-related crashes in the time series for Shanghai Composite and Dow Jones Industrial are discussed as an illustration. Full article

Variational inequality theory is an effective tool for engineering, economics, transport and mathematical optimization. Some of the approaches used to resolve variational inequalities usually involve iterative techniques. In this article, we introduce a new modified viscosity-type extragradient method to solve monotone variational inequalities problems in real Hilbert space. The result of the strong convergence of the method is well established without the information of the operator’s Lipschitz constant. There are proper mathematical studies relating our newly designed method to the currently state of the art on several practical test problems. Full article

In some applications, one is interested in reconstructing a function f from its Fourier series coefficients. The problem is that the Fourier series is slowly convergent if the function is non-periodic, or is non-smooth. In this paper, we suggest a method for deriving high order approximation to f using a Padé-like method. Namely, we do this by fitting some Fourier coefficients of the approximant to the given Fourier coefficients of f. Given the Fourier series coefficients of a function on a rectangular domain in Rd, assuming the function is piecewise smooth, we approximate the function by piecewise high order spline functions. First, the singularity structure of the function is identified. For example in the 2D case, we find high accuracy approximation to the curves separating between smooth segments of f. Secondly, simultaneously we find the approximations of all the different segments of f. We start by developing and demonstrating a high accuracy algorithm for the 1D case, and we use this algorithm to step up to the multidimensional case. Full article

In this paper, we investigate the existence of best proximity points that belong to the zero set for the α p -admissible weak ( F , φ ) -proximal contraction in the setting of M-metric spaces. For this purpose, we establish φ -best proximity point results for such mappings in the setting of a complete M-metric space. Some examples are also presented to support the concepts and results proved herein. Our results extend, improve and generalize several comparable results on the topic in the related literature.

In this manuscript, we introduce a new notion, admissible hybrid Z -contraction that unifies several nonlinear and linear contractions in the set-up of a b-metric space. In our main theorem, we discuss the existence and uniqueness result of such mappings in the context of complete b-metric space. The given result not only unifies the several existing results in the literature, but also extends and improves them. We express some consequences of our main theorem by using variant examples of simulation functions. As applications, the well-posedness and the Ulam–Hyers stability of the fixed point problem are also studied. Full article

In this paper, we investigate the Wick-type stochastic (3+1)-dimensional modified Benjamin–Bona–Mahony (BBM) equations. We present a generalised version of the modified tanh–coth method. Using the generalised, modified tanh–coth method, white noise theory, and Hermite transform, we produce a new set of exact travelling wave solutions for the (3+1)-dimensional modified BBM equations. This set includes solutions of exponential, hyperbolic, and trigonometric types. With the help of inverse Hermite transform, we obtained stochastic travelling wave solutions for the Wick-type stochastic (3+1)-dimensional modified BBM equations. Eventually, by application example, we show how the stochastic solutions can be given as white noise functional solutions. Full article
