Positive Periodic Solution for the Generalized Neutral Differential Equation with Multiple Delays and Impulse by Zhenguo Luo, Liping Luo, Yunhui Zeng

“…By using a fixed point theorem of strict-set-contraction, which is different from Gaines and Mawhin's continuation theorem and abstract continuation theory for k-set contraction, we established some new criteria for the existence of positive periodic solution of the following generalized neutral delay functional differential equation with impulse: x'(t)=x(t)[a(t)-f(t,x(t),x(t-τ1(t,x(t))),…,x(t-τn(t,x(t))),x'(t-γ1(t,x(t))),…,x'(t-γm(t,x(t))))],  t≠tk,  k∈Z+;  x(tk+)=x(tk-)+θk(x(tk)),  k∈Z+. …”

On Properties of Class A(n) and n-Paranormal Operators by Xiaochun Li, Fugen Gao

“…In this paper, firstly we consider the tensor products for class A(n) operators, giving a necessary and sufficient condition for T⊗S to be a class A(n) operator when T and S are both non-zero operators; secondly we consider the properties for n-paranormal operators, showing that a n-paranormal contraction is the direct sum of a unitary and a C.0 completely non-unitary contraction.…”

Motor Function in Irritable Bowel Syndrome by Michael Camilleri

“…Physiological studies implicate a disturbance of transit through the small bowel and proximal colon, and abnormal motor responses of the rectum to distention in IBS patients. Intestinal contractions (physiological or ‘abnormal’) are associated with the sensation of pain, suggesting that these contractions are interactions between abnormal motor and sensory functions in IBS. …”
