Several Fixed Point Theorems concerning Τ-distance

for all x, y ∈ X . Then there exists a unique fixed point x0 ∈ X of T . This theorem, called the Banach contraction principle, is a forceful tool in nonlinear analysis. This principle has many applications and is extended by several authors: Caristi [2], Edelstein [5], Ekeland [6, 7], Meir and Keeler [14], Nadler [15], and others. These theorems are also extended; see [4, 9, 10, 13, 23, 25, 26,...
