A Study of Fixed-Point and Best Proximity Point
Abstract: Fixed-point theory plays a fundamental role in nonlinear analysis and has significant applications in optimization, differential equations, and applied mathematics. This study investigates the existence and properties of fixed points and best proximity points for various classes of mappings defined on metric and normed spaces. While fixed-point results guarantee the existence of a point that remains invariant under a given mapping, such points may not exist when the mapping is …

Study of Proximity Points and Fixed Points
Abstract: This paper explores the concepts of proximity points and fixed points, which are fundamental in mathematical analysis and nonlinear functional analysis. Fixed-point theorems play a crucial role in optimization, game theory, differential equations, and dynamic systems. Proximity points, an extension of fixed points, provide a more generalized approach, allowing near-coincidence rather than exact identity. The study discusses classical fixed-point theorems, such as Banach’s contraction principle, Brouwer’s fixed-point theorem, and Schauder’s …

Mathematical Modeling of Epidemics Using Stochastic Differential Equations: A Review
Abstract: The accurate modeling of infectious disease dynamics is crucial for predicting outbreaks and informing public health interventions. While deterministic models such as the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) framework have traditionally been used to understand disease transmission, they often fail to account for the randomness inherent in real-world scenarios. Disease spread is influenced by numerous uncertain factors, including individual behavioral changes, environmental fluctuations, and imperfect data reporting. These uncertainties can significantly impact model …

A Constraint-Driven Generative Design Methodology for Modular Actuated Robotic Components in Decentralized Manufacturing
Abstract: This work formalizes a constraint-driven generative design framework for actuator-integrated robotic components intended for decentralized additive manufacturing. Conventional topology optimization typically prioritizes structural efficiency while treating actuator integration, modular interfaces, and fabrication constraints as secondary considerations. In contrast, the proposed methodology encodes these requirements as first-order geometric and mechanical constraints prior to automated material redistribution. The framework defines preserved actuator geometry, bounded design envelopes, representative loading abstractions, and manufacturability-aware domains …
