Some common fixed point theorems in D* - metric space

  In this paper we establish some common fixed point theorems for contraction and generalized contraction mappings in D* - metric space which is introduced by Shaban et al. (2007). In what follows, (X, D*) will denote D* - metric space, N, the set of all natural number and R+, the set of all positive real numbers.   Key words: D* - metric contractive mapping, complete D* - metric space, common...

Formal partitioning analysis and verification of extended algebraic automata

Algebraic automata is getting much importance in theoretical computer science because of its various applications, for example, in optimization of programs, verification of protocols, cryptography and modeling biological phenomena. Design of a complex system not only requires functionality but it also needs to capture its control behaviour. This paper is a part of our ongoing research on integration of algebraic...

Entropy and utility based trip distribution model

  This paper aims to explore the interrelation and equivalence between methods of maximum entropy and utility in establishing the trip distribution model.   Key words: Entropy, utility, trip distribution, Bose–Einstein entropy, Fermi-Dirac entropy.
