Our interest is to study the existence of positive solutions to the following elliptic system involving competing interaction $$ (1) { -\partial(x,u,\upsilon)\Delta u = uf(x,u,v) { - \psi(x,u,\upsilon)\Delta \upsilon = \upsilon g(x,u,\upsilon) { \frac{\partial n}{\partial u} + ku = 0 on \partial\Omega { \frac{\partial n}{\partial\upsilon} + \sigma\upsilon = 0 $$ in a bounded region $\Omega$ in $R^n$ with a smooth boundary, where the diffusion terms $\varphi, \psi$ are strictly positive nondecreasing function, and k, $\sigma$ are positive constants. Also we assume that the growth rates f, g are $C^1$ monotone functions. The variables u, $\upsilon$ may represent the population densities of the interacting species in problems from ecology, microbiology, immunology, etc.

An iterative algorithm is provided to find a common element of the set of fixed points of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of some variational inequality in a Hilbert space. Using this result, we consider a strong convergence result for finding a common fixed point of a nonexpansive mapping and a strictly pseudocontractive mapping. Our results include the previous results as special cases and can be viewed as an improvement and refinement of the previously known results.

This paper is concerned with the distribution and interpretation of yekan and its cognates. Syntactically they require negation, but semantically the sentences in which they occur are positive ones that make monotone increasing inferences possible. This syntax-semantics discrepancy can be best accounted for by showing that yekan and its cousins must be strictly c-commanded by metalinguistic negation at the surface structure and that the positive meaning of the sentences they are part of is derived from the cancellation of the pragmatic upper-bounding implicatum associated with them. These also enable us to explain why they do not occur in the environments where typical NPIs do and why only certain forms of negation license them.

The two-stage sequential test, suggested by Baker [2] for testing hypotheses $H_0:\mu=\mu_0$ and $H_1:\mu=\mu_1$ of $N(\mu,\sigma^2)$ with the unknown $\sigma^2$ would not be amenable for applications unles some cluses on the choice of the first-stage sample size are available. The study in this paper is intended to shed some light on the size of the first-stage sample. An approximate method is used to estimate an optimal initial sample size that minimizes the average sample number. In brief, the optimal size is a strictly monotone decreasing function of the quantity $(\mu_1-\mu_0)/\sigma$. Empirical and simulation results are used to ascertain the negligible effect of possible errors due to approximations and assumptions used.

In the setting of semidenite linear complementarity problems on $S^n$, we focus on the Stein Transformation $S_A(X)\;:=X-AXA^T$, and show that $S_A$ is (strictly) monotone if and only if ${\nu}_r(UAU^T{\circ}\;UAU^T)$(<)${\leq}1$, for all orthogonal matrices U where ${\circ}$ is the Hadamard product and ${\nu}_r$ is the real numerical radius. In particular, we show that if ${\rho}(A)$ < 1 and ${\nu}_r(UAU^T{\circ}\;UAU^T){\leq}1$, then SDLCP($S_A$, Q) has a unique solution for all $Q{\in}S^n$. In an attempt to characterize the GUS-property of a nonmonotone $S_A$, we give an instance of a nonnormal $2{\times}2$ matrix A such that SDLCP($S_A$, Q) has a unique solution for Q either a diagonal or a symmetric positive or negative semidenite matrix. We show that this particular $S_A$ has the $P^{\prime}_2$-property.
