Some common fixed point theorems for weakly compatible mappings
No full textAbstractJungck's [G. Jungck, Compatible mappings and common fixed points, Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 9 (1986) 771–779] notion of compatible mappings is further extended and used to prove some common fixed point theorems for weakly compatible non-self mappings in complete convex metric spaces. We improve on the method of proof used by Rhoades [B.E. Rhoades, A fixed point theorem for non-self set-valued mappings, Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 20 (1997) 9–12] and Ahmed and Rhoades [A. Ahmed, B.E. Rhoades, Some common fixed point theorems for compatible mappings, Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 32 (2001) 1247–1254] and obtain generalization of some known results. In particular, a theorem by Rhoades [B.E. Rhoades, A fixed point theorem for non-self set-valued mappings, Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 20 (1997) 9–12] is generalized and improved
Nomenclature of Appalachian Mountains
No full textThis 1931 correspondence, from Horace Kephart to Verne Rhoades (1881-1969), concerns the nomenclature of the Appalachian mountains. Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author and promoter of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park
On |A|<sub><i>k</i></sub>summability factors of infinite series
No full textIn an earlier paper (Rhoades. B. E. and Savaş, E. Some necessary conditions for absolute matrix summability factors. Indian J. Pure Appl. Math., 2002. 33(7), 1003-1009) the authors obtained necessary conditions for the series ?an to be absolutely summable of order k by a triangular matrix. In this paper we present sufficient conditions for absolute matrix summability factors. As a corollary we obtain a result of N. Singh (On |N?,pn| summability factors of infinite series. Indian J. Math., 1968, 10, 19-24)

The Spectre and Spectacle of Cannibalism in Consumerist Society
Attempting to explain the insistence of the image of the cannibal in contemporary popular culture, the author presents cannibalism as a symbolic practice perfectly representative of a proliferation of the symbolic competition on the contemporary marketplace and of other forms of ritualised interaction, where each individual represents a subjectivity that, by its nature, tends toward its own limitless expansion through the absorption of difference and exteriority. The first section of the paper explores the idea and nature of cannibalism. and various ways in which it translates into the structure of consumerist society. The second section looks at recent examples from popular entertainment in which depictions of cannibalism reveal cannibalistic mechanisms at work in commodity production and consumption.Lance Rhoades

An absolute double summability factor theorem
No full textIn an earlier paper Savas and Rhoades [Ekrem Savaş, B.E. Rhoades, A note on | A |k summability factors, Nonlinear Anal. 66 (2007) 1879-1883. [1]] obtained a summability factor theorem for absolute summability of order k ? 1. In this paper we extend that result to doubly infinite matrices. © 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved
