Motivated by string gas cosmology, we investigate the stability of moduli fields coming from compactifications of string gas on torus with background flux. It was previously claimed that moduli are stabilized only at a single fixed-point in moduli space, a self-dual point of T-duality with vanishing flux. Here, we show that there exist other stable fixed-points on moduli space with nonvanishing flux. We also discuss the more general target space dualities associated with these fixed-points.

AbstractThe stability of a fixed point of an area-preserving transformation in the plane is characterized by the invariant curves which surround it. The existence of invariant curves had been extensively studied for elliptic fixed points. Here we study the similar problem for parabolic fixed points. In particular we are interested in the case where the fixed point is at infinity.

The problem of ensuring stability of Earth observation space-borne instruments undertaking long-term temperature measurements within thermal IR spectral range is described. For in-flight reliable control of the space-borne IR instruments characteristics the stability of onboard reference sources should be improved. The function of these high-stable sources will be executed by novel onboard blackbodies, incorporating the melt↔freeze phase transition phenomenon, currently being developed. As a part of these works the task of realizing an on-orbit calibration scale within the dynamic temperature range of Earth observation systems 210−350 K based on fixed-point phase transition temperatures of a number of potentially suitable substances is advanced. The corresponding series of the onboard reference blackbodies will be set up on the basis of the on-orbit calibration scale fixed points. It is shown that the achievement of the target lies in carrying out a number of in-flight experiments with the selected fixed points and the prospective onboard fixed-point blackbodies prototypes. The new In-Bi eutectic alloy melt temperature fixed point (~345 K) is proposed as the significant fixed points of the future on-orbit calibration scale. The results of the new fixed point preliminary laboratory studies have been analyzed. The results allowed to start preparation of the in-flight experiments investigating the In-Bi alloy for the purpose of its application in the novel onboard reference sources.

We give some initial properties of a subset of modular metric spaces and introduce some fixed-point theorems for multivalued mappings under the setting of contraction type. An appropriate example is as well provided. The stability of fixed points in our main theorems is also studied.

Using fixed point method, we prove the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of the following additive-quadratic-cubic-quartic functional equationf(x+2y)+f(x−2y)=4f(x+y)+4f(x−y)−6f(x)+f(2y)+f(−2y)−4f(y)−4f(−y)in non-Archimedean Banach spaces.

We discuss the effect of the dynamics of D-branes on moduli stabilization in type IIB string theory compactifications, with reference to a concrete toy model of [Formula: see text] orientifold compactification with fractional D3-branes and anti-D3-branes at orbifold fixed points. The resulting attractive forces between anti-D3-branes and D3-branes, together with the repulsive forces between anti-D3-branes and O3-planes, can affect the stability of the compact space. There are no complex structure moduli in [Formula: see text] orientifold, which should thus capture some generic features of more general settings where all complex structure moduli are stabilized by three-form fluxes. The simultaneous presence of branes and anti-branes brings along the breaking of supersymmetry. Non-BPS combinations of this type are typical of “brane supersymmetry breaking” and are a necessary ingredient in the KKLT scenario for stabilizing the remaining Kähler moduli. The conclusion of our analysis is that, while mutual D-brane interactions sometimes help Kähler moduli stabilization, this is not always the case.

We discuss the stability of solutions to a kind of scalar Liénard type equations with multiple variable delays by means of the fixed point technique under an exponentially weighted metric. By this work, we improve some related results from one delay to multiple variable delays.

This paper studies the stability of fixed points for multi-valued mappings in relation to selections. For multi-valued mappings admitting Michael selections, some examples are given to show that the fixed point mapping of these mappings are neither upper semi-continuous nor almost lower semi-continuous. Though the set of fixed points may be not compact for multi-valued mappings admitting Lipschitz selections, by finding sub-mappings of such mappings, the existence of minimal essential sets of fixed points is proved, and we show that there exists at least an essentially stable fixed point for almost all these mappings. As an application, we deduce an essentially stable result for differential inclusion problems.

This paper discusses the discrete stage–structure prey-predator model involved in the Beddington–DeAngelis type of functional response described by differential equation systems proposed as three-dimensional systems. Furthermore, the predators are divided into two types of populations, namely, mature and immature, along with the prey population. The stability of all possible fixed points is demonstrated by solving our proposed model analytically using the standard lemma and topological properties, which give all possible properties to each fixed point. In the same manner, we identify three fixed points, which are as follows: the origin fixed point, which means there are no species; the axial fixed point, which means the prey population increases logistically with the absence of a predator one (mature and immature populations); and the positive fixed point, which signifies the coexistence of all species. We show that the numerical simulations part is used not only to plot the time series of fixed values, but also, to find and illustrate the theoretical results.

The existence and iterative approximations of fixed points concerning two classes of integral-type multivalued contractive mappings in complete metric spaces are proved, and the stability of fixed point sets relative to these multivalued contractive mappings is established. The results obtained in this article generalize and improve some known results in the literature. An illustrative example is given.

We extend and improve the existing characterization of the dynamics of general quadratic real polynomial maps with coefficients that depend on a single parameterλand generalize this characterization to cubic real polynomial maps, in a consistent theory that is further generalized to realmth degree real polynomial maps. In essence, we give conditions for the stability of the fixed points of any real polynomial map with real fixed points. In order to do this, we have introduced the concept ofcanonical polynomial mapswhich are topologically conjugate to any polynomial map of the same degree with real fixed points. The stability of the fixed points of canonical polynomial maps has been found to depend solely on a special function termedProduct Position Functionfor a given fixed point. The values of this product position determine the stability of the fixed point in question, when it bifurcates and even when chaos arises, as it passes through what we have termedstability bands. The exact boundary values of these stability bands are yet to be calculated for regions of type greater than one for polynomials of degree higher than three.
