Asif Memon, Adebowale Martins Obalalu, Hudson Akewe, Jamel Seidu (2023): An innovative inertial extra-proximal gradient algorithm for solving convex optimization problems with application to image and signal processing, Heliyon Volume 9 (2023), e20513, pages 1- SCOPUS Indexed.

Contribution: The scheme was developed to solve convex optimization problems to get clearer images in medical fields.

Contribution: The equivalence of convergence was proved for implicit Mann, implicit Ishikawa, implicit Noor, implicit multistep iterative sequences for multivalued-quasi- contractive-like mappings in modular function spaces with the help of a well-constructed theorem.

Contribution: The explicit multistep, explicit multistep-SP and implicit multistep iterative sequences were introduced in the context of modular function spaces and proved via              theorems that the iterative sequences converge to the fixed point of a multivalued map T such that P^T , an associate multivalued map, is a ρ-contractive-like mapping.

(S, T)-stabilities of Jungck-type iterative schemes, Heliyon (ELSEVIER), Volume 7, (2021) e06368, pages 1-5. SCOPUS Indexed.

Contribution: The equivalence of convergence between the (S, T)-stabilities of Jungck-Mann, Jungck-Ishikawa, Jungck-Noor and Jungck-multistep iterative schemes was established in a normed linear space setting.

Contribution: Coupled fixed point of certain contractive mapping of  integral type on a cone metric space over Banach Algebra was proved.
