In this paper, we establish a new characterization of uniform exponential dichotomy for linear periodic nonautonomous systems in terms of bounded operator-valued oscillatory integral operators. More precisely, we show that the associated evolution family admits a uniform exponential dichotomy if and only if two families of forward and backward oscillatory integrals remain uniformly bounded with respect to the oscillation frequency. The analysis combines Floquet theory with a reduction to the monodromy operator and discrete spectral techniques, thereby linking continuous-time dynamics to the spectral properties of the corresponding discrete evolution. The proposed characterization provides an alternative to classical spectral and Floquet criteria and is well suited to operator-theoretic and perturbation methods. The theoretical results are complemented by illustrative examples and counterexamples demonstrating the sharpness of the assumptions. As applications, we derive robustness results under small periodic perturbations and establish bounded solvability criteria for periodically forced linear systems.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46107,"journal":{"name":"Afrika Matematika","volume":"37 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149235035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proof is based on the proximal projection operator associated with the proximal sets of a closed convex pair in a uniformly convex Banach space. By composing the given non-self mappings with this projection, we obtain a pair of mean nonexpansive self-mappings on the corresponding proximal set. Under this transformation, common best proximity points are identified with common fixed points, while the proximal Ishikawa iteration coincides with the classical Ishikawa iteration. Consequently, the strong convergence theorem for common best proximity points follows immediately from its fixed-point counterpart. This approach provides a concise and transparent reduction of the best proximity point problem to a fixed-point problem.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46107,"journal":{"name":"Afrika Matematika","volume":"37 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149133298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The framework extends the theory of Dirac operators to the fractional setting on Riemannian manifolds via Clifford algebras, spin representations, and the geometry of fiber bundles. Fundamental properties of these operators are established, showing that they combine conventional and fractional derivatives, thereby generalizing key results in Riemannian geometry. In particular, we extend the Schrödinger–Lichnerowicz formula to fractional order, revealing new scalar curvature terms governed by different fractional derivatives. This approach bridges fractional calculus and geometric analysis, offering potential applications in field theory and the study of manifolds with fractal dimensions. Furthermore, we analyze the fractional Dirac operator on Lorentzian cylinders under Atiyah–Patodi–Singer boundary conditions, deriving corresponding constraints on the fractional exponents. The formulation naturally leads to a fractional Schrödinger–Dirac equation encompassing higher-order derivative terms. Our findings open prospects for extending the fractional formalism to spectral geometry and noncommutative spaces, particularly through the development of a fractional spectral action principle, where the geometric action is constructed from the spectrum of a fractional Dirac operator, and the investigation of index theorems and algebraic geometric structures associated with fractional Dirac operators, which generalize the classical Dirac operator by incorporating fractional-order nonlocal effects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46107,"journal":{"name":"Afrika Matematika","volume":"37 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2026-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148926631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
