Approximate Fixed Points of Nonexpansive Mappings
Alexander J. Zaslavski
Springer International Publishing AG
2024
sidottu
Fixed point theory of nonlinear operators has been a rapidly growing area of research and plays an important role in the study of variational inequalities, monotone operators, feasibility problems, and optimization theory, to name just several. This book discusses iteration processes associated with a given nonlinear mapping which generate its approximate fixed point and in some cases converge to a fixed point of the mapping. Various classes of nonlinear single-valued and set-valued mappings are considered along with iteration processes under the presence of computational errors. Of particular interest to mathematicians working in fixed point theory and nonlinear analysis, the added value for the reader are the solutions presented to a number of difficult problems in the fixed point theory which have important applications.

The sudden disappearance of Judge Joseph Crater nearly 75 years ago led to perhaps the most famous missing persons case of the twentieth century. Crater, a justice of New York's state Supreme Court, vanished amid political scandal. Within days, questions arose about Judge Crater's finances and his liaisons with numerous women. A public frenzy about what happened to Crater provided impetus for scrutiny of New York's Tammany Hall political machine—and ultimately for the vanishing of Tammany Hall as well. The cast of characters in this book—the first-ever serious look at the Crater case—includes Franklin D. Roosevelt, the governor who named Crater to the bench; Senator Robert Wagner, Crater's mentor, but also the leader with the most to lose from having Crater found; Al Smith, Tammany's ebbing leader and failed presidential candidate; Jimmy Walker, the rogue Mayor of New York City and the darling of Tammany Hall; and Fiorello La Guardia, the crusading reformer who finally came to power on the back of the scandals. Richard J. Tofel's Vanishing Point is a revealing look at New York as the Jazz Age gave way to the Depression, and at one of the most intriguing stories in the annals of urban America.
In the year 2063, America is unraveling. The government no longer has the resources to repair escalating damage from extreme weather. Tensions and tent towns are on the rise as people flee the coastline, and growing pressure along the southern border from climate refugees has fueled the greatest wave of white nationalism in decades. Andrew Hochevar, a newly ordained Catholic priest, serves at a parish in a backwater town of the Minnesota Northwoods and dreams of becoming a pastor. It would finally prove to him that he is good enough for God. When a revered bishop unexpectedly names him as bishop material, Andrew is thrown into spiritual turmoil. But on a sweltering August day at Listening Point, a place sacred to him, a raven appears--an omen that shatters everything he thought he believed. As his world begins to unravel, Andrew is forced to confront truths about God, the Church, and his own calling. Listening Point is a gripping, soul-searching novel about faith in a time of collapse--and what it means to truly listen, when the world is crying out for change.
A solid contribution to social and urban studies, this fascinating collection of oral histories details the life and times in Canada's "cradle of industrialization." Contributors to this book were all born between the 1920s and 1950s and remember growing up around the east end of the Lachine Canal near the Montreal harbour. It was a time when ships from far away places still navigated the canal and this historic working-class area hummed with the sounds of factories. Families were often large and the streets teemed with children. These oral histories follow contributors' lives to the present day. The book also discusses the redevelopment and evolution of the area. Well-illustrated with archival photos, with bibliography, and an introduction by the author. This study of Montreal's Southwest borough (Les Quartiers du Canal) presents many engaging oral histories of the working class Irish, Italian and French residents circa 1950 - 2000. With an introduction, bibliography, and illustrated throughout with current and archival images.
The Quilting Points of Musical Modernism
Harper-Scott J. P. E.

Modernism is both a contested aesthetic category and a powerful political statement. Modernist music was condemned as degenerate by the Nazis and forcibly replaced by socialist realism under the Soviets. Sympathetic philosophers and critics have interpreted it as a vital intellectual defence against totalitarianism, yet some American critics consider it elitist, undemocratic and even unnatural. Drawing extensively on the philosophy of Heidegger and Badiou, The Quilting Points of Musical Modernism proposes a new dialectical theory of faithful, reactive and obscure subjective responses to musical modernism, which embraces all the music of Western modernity. This systematic definition of musical modernism introduces readers to theory by Badiou, Žižek and Agamben. Basing his analyses on the music of William Walton, Harper-Scott explores connections between the revolutionary politics of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries and responses to the event of modernism in order to challenge accepted narratives of music history in the twentieth century.

It's not a positive thinking scheme, a fad or part of any cult. There's no hypnosis or behavior modification psychology. Importantly, there are no tricks to convert you to a philosophy or non-duality religion. Author Daniel Schwarzhoff doesn't tell you how to live but shows you how to access the complete set of instructions for living already within you. You are shown how simple it is to walk through the door that leads to peace and ease without compromising what you've always known is right in your heart.

Your confidence will build and you'll gain a wholesome advantage in dealings with others. Whether romantic, business or casual relationships, they will all improve. Even already good relationships will benefit. This is a wholly metaphysical proposal allowing you to experience and maintain conscious awareness through a unique spiritual tool called Non-Contemplative Meditation(TM). With this distinctive method, you'll experience a quality of living that is better than anything you could've planned for yourself. It will happen automatically and quickly. All it takes is a few minutes of practice each day. It's remarkably effective. It's fast acting. It's outrageously simple. The choice is now yours.
