Weak contractions are generalizations of the Banach's <br />contraction mapping, which have been studied by several authors. In <br />this paper, we introduce the notion of $f$-weak contractions and <br />also establish a coincidence and common fixed point result for <br />$f$-weak contractions in cone metric spaces. Our result is supported <br />by an example which include and generalize the results of Choudhury <br />and Metiya's work.Iranian Mathematical Society (IMS)Bulletin of the Iranian Mathematical Society1017-060X38220120715Rings with a setwise polynomial-like condition305311231ENAliTavakoliIslamic Azad University - Majlesi BranchAlirezaAbdollahiUniversity of IsfahanHoward E.BellBrock UniversityJournal Article20100420Let $R$ be an infinite ring.

Department of Mathematics, Statistics and Physics, Qatar University, P.O.Box 2713, Doha, Qatar.Journal Article20100325Inverse sampling design is generally considered to be appropriate technique when the population is divided into two subpopulations, one of which contains only few units. In this paper, we derive the Horvitz-Thompson estimator for the population mean under inverse sampling designs, where subpopulation sizes are known. We then introduce an alternative <br /> unbiased estimator, corresponding to post-stratification approach. Both of these are not location-invariant, but this is ignorable for alternative estimator. <br />Using a simulation study, we find that Horvitz-Thompson estimator is an efficient estimator when the mean of the off-interest subpopulation is close to zero while the alternative estimator appears to be an efficient estimator in general.Iranian Mathematical Society (IMS)Bulletin of the Iranian Mathematical Society1017-060X38220120715Comparison results on the preconditioned mixed-type splitting

Furthermore, we improve the rate <br />of convergence of the mixed-type splitting iterative method by <br />applying a preconditioned matrix.

Hence, every finitely generated, regular, extending<br />module with projective maximal submodules is semisimple. As a<br />consequence, we observe that every regular, hereditary, extending<br />module is semisimple. This generalizes and simplifies a result of<br /> Dung and Smith. As another consequence, we observe that<br />every right continuous ring, whose maximal right ideals are<br />projective, is semisimple Artinian. This generalizes some results<br />of Osofsky and Karamzadeh. We also observe that<br />four classes of rings, namely right $\aleph_0$-continuous rings,<br />right continuous rings, right $\aleph_0$-continuous regular rings<br />and right continuous regular rings are not axiomatizable.Iranian Mathematical Society (IMS)Bulletin of the Iranian Mathematical Society1017-060X38220120715Finite p-groups with few non-linear irreducible character kernels413422208ENHosseinDoostieTarbiat Moallem UniversityAminSaeidiTarbiat Moallem UniversityJournal Article20090430Abstract.

It is shown that if R is a right perfect ring, then every projective slightly compressible module MR is epi-retractable. If R is a Noetherian ring, then every epi-retractable right R-module has direct sum of uniform submodules. If endomorphism ring of a module MR is von-Neumann regular, then M is semi-simple if and only if M is epi-retractable. If R is a quasi Frobenius ring, then R is a right hereditary ring if and only if every injective right R-module is semi-simple. A ring R is semi-simple if and only if R is right hereditary and every epiretractable right R-module is projective. Moreover, a ring R is semi-simple if and only if R is a pri and von-Neumann regular.Iranian Mathematical Society (IMS)Bulletin of the Iranian Mathematical Society1017-060X38220120715Some vector fields on a riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection479490203ENFüsunÖzen ZenginIstanbul Technical UniversitySezginAltay DemirbagIstanbul Technical UniversityS.

ChinaJournal Article20101018In this paper, we consider a class of connected oriented (with respect to Z/p) closed G-manifolds with a non-empty finite fixed point set, each of which is G-equivariantly formal, where G = Z/p and p is an odd prime. Using localization theorem and equivariant index, we give an explicit description of the mod p equivariant cohomology ring of such a G-manifold in terms of algebra. This makes it possible to determine the number of equivariant cohomology rings (up to isomorphism) of such 2-dimensional G-manifolds. Moreover, we obtain a description of the ring homomorphism between equivariant cohomology rings of such two G-manifolds induced by a G-equivariant map, and show a characterization of the ring homomorphism.
