Data dependence results of a new multistep and S-iterative schemes for contractive-like operators
In this paper, we prove that convergence of a new iteration and S-iteration
can be used to approximate to the fixed points of contractive-like operators.
We also prove some data dependence results of this new iteration and
S-iteration schemes for contractive-like operators. Our results extend and
improve some known results in the literature.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1211.570

An assessment of Growth of Infrastructure
Booms have been a common element in the development of frontier areas in the 19th and 20th
centuries. Most commonly, the booms have been associated with resource development such as the
mineral booms of the western United States. Booms usually involve some type of dramatic short-
term change which has wide-ranging implications (Gilmore, 1976).
Since the arrival of the Russians in Alaska, six major booms have occurred: furs, whales,
salmon, minerals, military, and petroleum. Each of these booms has, to some degree, created changes
in the landscape of Alaska, in particular, the infrastructural base, which in turn has facilitated subsequent development, either another major boom, or a smaller development. For example, agricultural
development has been enhanced by mineral, military, and petroleum booms in Alaska. The cumulative impact on infrastructure of more than one boom, or multibooms, as it is referred to here, is the
focus of this paper.
One problem encountered in studying booms is that there is no general agreement on what
constitutes a boom. Detailed studies of booms in communities such as Dixon’s (1978) analysis of
Fairbanks and Gilmore’s multi-community work in the Great Plains—Rocky •mountain regions,
contained no specific definition of the term “boom”. Yet it was clear in each study that something
dramatic had occurred. More general historical studies of the Western mineral bonanzas (Greever,
1963) or the Klondike gold rush (Berton, 1958) likewise suggest a number of factors such as population rise, influx of money, resource extraction, and infrastructure expansion. But in each case, there
is no specific factor or define rate of something that specifically qualifies a time period as a boom. In
this study, we are concerned with dramatic change of events which have had a major impact on the
geographic landscape of an area, As a framework for the initial study, we review those events which
have been given attention as boom-type activities in the historical literature of Alaska (Rogers, 1962;
Naske and Slotnick, 1987)
