The terms of F−integral contraction as well as (ϖ,ζ˜,F,i)−integral contraction are introduced. Fixed point and common fixed point theorems are established. For the mapping F we use only the supposition that it is strictly increasing. As a consequence of the main theorems we obtain Jungck–Wardowski, Branciari–Wardowski and Jungck–Branciari type results. Consequently, the results presented in the article

Mathematical Modeling as a Catalyst for Equitable Mathematics Instruction: Preparing Teachers and Young Learners with 21st Century Skills Mathematics (IF 1.747) Pub Date : 2021-01-14 Jennifer Suh; Kathleen Matson; Padmanabhan Seshaiyer; Spencer Jamieson; Holly Tate
This case study focuses on a team of teachers and students in a Lesson Study, focused on using mathematical modeling (MM) to make significant decisions to design and plan for a sustainable edible garden in their community. We examined (a) how teachers develop students’ capacity to engage in mathematical modeling, while attending to equitable teaching practices; and (b) how teachers’ view of teaching

Transferable Utility Cooperative Differential Games with Continuous Updating Using Pontryagin Maximum Principle Mathematics (IF 1.747) Pub Date : 2021-01-14 Jiangjing Zhou; Anna Tur; Ovanes Petrosian; Hongwei Gao
We consider a class of cooperative differential games with continuous updating making use of the Pontryagin maximum principle. It is assumed that at each moment, players have or use information about the game structure defined in a closed time interval of a fixed duration. Over time, information about the game structure will be updated. The subject of the current paper is to construct players’ cooperative
