In this paper, we establish some new characterizations of the metric regularity of implicit multifunctions in complete metric spaces by using the lower semicontinuous envelopes of the distance functions for set-valued mappings. Through these new characterizations it is possible to investigate implicit multifunction theorems based on coderivatives and on contingent derivatives as well as the per...

We introduce a new approach to the model theory of metric structures by defining the notion of a metric abstract elementary class (MAEC) closely resembling the notion of an abstract elementary class. Further we define the framework of a homogeneous MAEC were we additionally assume the existence of arbitrarily large models, joint embedding, amalgamation, homogeneity and a property which we call ...

THE STUDY in fixed point theory has generally developed in three main directions: generalization of conditions which ensure existence, and, if possible, uniqueness, of fixed points; investigation of the character of the sequence of iterates (T”x)~~~, where T: X + X, X a complete metric space, is the map under consideration; study of the topoligical properties of the set of fixed points, wheneve...

‎In this paper‎, ‎we investigate some results on natural metrics on the $mu$-normal functions and meromorphic $Q_p$-classes‎. ‎Also‎, ‎these classes are shown to be complete metric spaces with respect to the corresponding metrics‎. ‎Moreover‎, ‎compact composition operators $C_phi$ and Lipschitz continuous operators acting from $mu$-normal functions to the meromorphic $Q_p$-classes are characte...

In this paper, we prove a fixed point theorem for a pair of generalized weakly contractive mappings in complete partial metric spaces. The theorems presented are generalizations of very recent fixed point theorems due to Abdeljawad, Karapinar and Tas. To emphasize the very general nature of these results, we illustrate an example.

A Bayesian model is nonparametric if its parameter space has infinite dimension; typical choices are spaces of discrete measures and Hilbert spaces. We consider the construction of nonparametric priors when the parameter takes values in a more general functional space. We (i) give a Prokhorov-type representation result for nonparametric Bayesian models; (ii) show how certain tractability proper...

considering the increasing interest in fuzzy theory and possible applications,the concept of fuzzy metric space concept has been introduced by severalauthors from different perspectives. this paper interprets the theory in termsof metrics evaluated on fuzzy numbers and defines a strong hausdorff topology.we study interrelationships between this theory and other fuzzy theories suchas intuitionis...

In Theorem 1 the word metric may be replaced, on the one hand, by regular, on the other, by complete metric. This theorem is of interest chiefly because of the similar well known characterizations of the class of all compact metrisable spaces and of the class of all metrisable spaces which are homeomorphic to complete metric spaces.§ The method of proof also relates it to the two characterizati...
