We present in this paper a generalized version of the celebrated Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz-Fan's principle on the intersection of a family of closed sets subject to a classical geometric condition and a weakened compactness condition. The fixedpoint formulation of this generalized principle extends the Browder-Fan fixedpoint theorem to set-valued maps of non-compact convex subsets of topological vector spaces.

In Bayesian probabilistic programming, a central problem is to estimate the normalised posterior distribution (NPD) of a probabilistic program with conditioning via score (a.k.a. observe) statements. Most previous approaches address this problem by Markov Chain Monte Carlo and variational inference, and therefore could not generate guaranteed outcomes within a finite time limit. Moreover, existing methods for exact inference either impose syntactic restrictions or cannot guarantee successful inference in general. In this work, we propose a novel automated approach to derive guaranteed bounds for NPD via polynomial solving. We first establish a fixed-point theorem for the wide class of score-at-end Bayesian probabilistic programs that terminate almost-surely and have a single bounded score statement at program termination. Then, we propose a multiplicative variant of Optional Stopping Theorem (OST) to address score-recursive Bayesian programs where score statements with weights greater than one could appear inside a loop. Bayesian nonparametric models, enjoying a renaissance in statistics and machine learning, can be represented by score-recursive Bayesian programs and are difficult to handle due to an integrability issue. Finally, we use polynomial solving to implement our fixed-point theorem and OST variant. To improve the accuracy of the polynomial solving, we further propose a truncation operation and the synthesis of multiple bounds over various program inputs. Our approach can handle Bayesian probabilistic programs with unbounded while loops and continuous distributions with infinite supports. Experiments over a wide range of benchmarks show that compared with the most relevant approach (Beutner et al., PLDI 2022) for guaranteed NPD analysis via recursion unrolling, our approach is more time efficient and derives comparable or even tighter NPD bounds. Furthermore, our approach can handle score-recursive programs which previous approaches could not.

In this paper, we introduce the strong convergence theorem for the viscosity approximation methods for solving the split common fixed-point problem in Hilbert spaces. As a consequence, we obtain strong convergence theorems for split variational inequality problems for Lipschitz continuous and monotone operators and split common null point problems for maximal monotone operators. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results announced by many others.

A novel dynamic vibration absorber(DVA) model with negative stiffness and inerter-mass is presented and analytically studied in this paper. The research shows there are still two fixedpoints independent of the absorber damping in the amplitude frequency curve of the primary system when the system contains negative stiffness and inerter-mass. The optimum frequency ratio is obtained based on the fixed-point theory. In order to ensure the stability of the system, it is found that inappropriate inerter coefficient will cause the system instable when screening optimal negative stiffness ratio. Accordingly, the best working range of inerter is determined and optimal negative stiffness ratio and approximate optimal damping ratio are also obtained. At last the control performance of the presented DVA is compared with three existing typical DVAs. The comparison results in harmonic and random excitation show that the presented DVA could not only reduce the peak value of the amplitude-frequency curve of the primary system significantly, but also broaden the efficient frequency range of vibration mitigation.

In this research study, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a coupled multiorder system of fractional differential equations involving coupled integro-differential boundary conditions in the Riemann-Liouville setting. The presented results are obtained via classical Banach principle along with Leray-Schauder and Krasnosel'skii's fixed-point theorems. Examples are included to support the effectiveness of the obtained results.

We consider a general equilibrium model of an economy with increasing returns to scale or more general types of nonconvexity and without ordered preferences. Firms are instructed to set their prices according to general pricing rules which may depend on the production plans of other firms. We suppose, moreover, that the pricing rule of the firms verifies a condition of weak bounded losses. This includes the case of profit maximizing, average cost pricing and marginal (cost) pricing, thanks to a transformation used by Bonnisseau. The tastes of the consumers may depend both on other consumptions and on the prices This paper reports a general existence result in this model which extends the results of Bonnisseau and Comet.

We provide sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions of a general class of neutral functional differential equations of type d dt (x(t) - A(t, xt)) = f (t, xt) defined almost everywhere in R. As a consequence, we study the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for this class of NFDEs under impulse perturbations. Examples are presented to illustrate the developed theory.(c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

In this manuscript, we study some fixed-point theorems of the Schauder and Krasnoselskii type in a Frechet topological vector space E. We prove a fixed-point theorem which is for every weakly compact map from a closed bounded convex subset of a Frechet topological vector space having the Dunford-Pettis property into itself has a fixedpoint. Using our results, we will establish a new version of the Krasnoselskii fixed-point theorem.

The aim of this paper consists in to give sufficient conditions to ensure the existence and location of the solutions of a nonlinear fully fourth-order equation with functional boundary conditions. The arguments make use of the upper and lower solutions method, a phi-Laplacian operator and a fixedpoint theorem. An application of the beam theory to a nonlinear continuous model of the human spine allows to estimate its deformation under some loading forces. (c) 2007 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
