Abstract. We study the convergence analysis of a Picard-S iterative method for a particular class of weak-contraction mappings and give a data dependence result for fixed points of these mappings.

Newton's method is actually a special case of what is generally known as a fixed point method. These methods rely on the Fixed point Theorem: ...

We provide a detailed description of a fixed-radius point count method that carries fewer assumptions than most of the currently popular methods of estimating bird density and that can be used during ...
