A Group decision making process is carried out when human beings jointly make an election from a possible collection of alternatives. Here, a question of importance is to avoid winners and losers, in the sense that the ...

Group Decision Making methods are interesting tools that can be used for extracting subjective information from experts that are familiar with an specific topic. Although they are typically used for carrying out an ...

The current proliferation of bilingual programs in Spanish higher education institutions in the last years, as a result of the internationalization policies, has driven to an increase in the concern about the appropriate ...

The factors accounting for Expressed Emotion (EE) in relatives of early psychosis persons, their association with symptoms and functioning and what elements mediate between relatives’ EE and patients’ dysfunction are still ...

The phenomenal development of MOOCs in recent years has made an earthquake in the field of higher education globally. In essence, it is less a localized revolution that simply applies internet technologies into education, ...

The e-learning has until quite recently been marked by considerable attention paid to MOOCs. One of the disruptive innovations introduced by MOOCs is the open access to the process of teaching and learning. The impact of ...

MOOCs have been in the spotlight since its debut in China in 2012. Later, MOOC platforms and relevant courses developed by different organizations sprung up like mushrooms. Now MOOCs can be seen in multiple forms in practice ...

In this work, we are concerned with the problem of developing a general theory about derivative-free iterative procedures with quadratic convergence. Newton's method is the most used, well-known and studied in order to ...

The main goal of this paper is to approximate some matrix functions by using a family of high-order Newton-type iterative methods. We analyse the semilocal convergence and the speed of convergence of these methods. Concerning ...

We present the local convergence analysis and the study of the dynamics of a higher order iterative method in order to approximate a locally unique solution of multiplicity greater than one of a nonlinear equation. The ...
