We consider neutrino oscillations in the T2K experiment using a new quantum field-theoretical approach to the description of processes passing at finite space-time intervals. It is based on the Feynman diagram technique in the...

COUPLED FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR TWISTED (α,β )−ψ-EXPANSIVE MAPPINGS In this paper, we introduce a new concept of cyclic and cyclic ordered α−ψ expansive mappings and investigate the existence of a fixed point for the mappings in this class. Further, we shall derive coupled fixed point theorems in complete metric spac...
