On the other hand, multivalued function is an important class of mappings, which has been extensively employed in control theory [8], stochastics [9], artificial intelligence [10], and economics [11].
After the analytical continuation, the complex distance R is a multivalued function which respects the radiation condition when Re(R) [greater than or equal to] 0.
This means that the imaginary eigenvalues of H([sigma]) determine the [sigma]-level set of the multivalued function
The initial portion of the graph (of the multivalued function) showing the variation of the normalised phase speed [[upsilon].sub.p]/c with respect to the normalised frequency [k.sub.0a] for the dielectric loaded tape helix corresponding to 0 < [k.sub.0a] < 1.3 is plotted in Fig.
Moreover, we can regard [A.sub.0] (z) as a multivalued function; more precisely, we can regard [A.sub.0]([re.sub.i[theta]]) as a function of (r, [theta]) [member of] (0, [infinity]) x (- [infinity], [infinity]), and then (3.5) holds as r = [absolute value of z] [right arrow] 0 for - 1/2 [pi] + [epsilon] < [theta] 5/2 [pi] - [epsilon], for any [epsilon] > 0.
Since the GDQ of a multivalued function is not unique (see [11-16]), we use one, denoted by SGDQ, which seems to fit best: it contains all important directions without superfluous ones.
The multivalued function v : J [right arrow] [2.sup.Y] \ {0} is measurable and v(*) c e, where e is a bounded set of Y.
If m = 1, F([zeta]) is a multivalued function. A contradiction.
[13] extended these notions to multivalued functions by introducing the concepts of [[alpha].sub.*]-[psi]-contractive and [[alpha].sub.*]-admissible for multivalued mappings and proved some fixed point results.
