The purpose of this note is to give a natural approach to the extensions of the Banach Contraction Principle in metric spaces endowed with a partial order, a directed graph or a binary relation in terms of extended quasi-metric. This novel approach is new and may open the door to other new fixed point theorems. The case of multivalued mappings is also discussed and an analogue result to Nadler’...

The concept of a generalized metric space, where the triangle inequality has been replaced by a more general one involving four points, has been recently introduced by Branciari. Subsequently, some classical metric fixed point theorems have been transferred to such a space. The aim of this note is to show that Kannan’s fixed point theorem in a generalized metric space is a consequence of the Ba...

This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the second-order nonlinear delay differential equations. By the use of the Schauder fixed point theorem, the existence of the solutions on the half-line is derived. Via the Banach contraction principle, another result concerning the existence and uniqueness of solutions on the half-line is established. The main results i...

Shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks are studied. Some sufficient criteria are obtained for the existence and uniqueness of pseudo almost-periodic solution of this system. Our results improve and generalize those of the previous studies. This is the first paper considering the pseudo almost-periodic SICNNs. Furthermore, several methods are applied to establish sufficient criteria for th...

Existence and approximation of best proximity points is an interesting topic for which one can see [2, 3, 4, 6, 5] for more information. Another extension of Banach contraction principle was given by Nieto and Rodriguez-Lopez in partially ordered metric spaces [9]. They proved some fixed point theorems in partially ordered sets in order to show the existence and uniqueness for a first-order ord...

By applying our results, we obtain some generalizations of Mizoguchi-Takahashi’s fixed point theorem, Nadler’s fixed point theorem a...

We introduce a new concept of generalized metric spaces for which we extend some well-known fixed point results including Banach contraction principle, Ćirić’s fixed point theorem, a fixed point result due to Ran and Reurings, and a fixed point result due to Nieto and Rodríguez-López. This new concept of generalized metric spaces recover various topological spaces including standard metric spac...

One of the generalizations of the Banach Fixed Point Theorem is due to Matkowski, who replaced contractivity by a weaker but still effective property. The aim of this note is to extend the contraction principle in this spirit for such semimetric spaces that are equipped with a natural generalization of the standard triangle inequality. The stability of fixed points is also investigated in this ...
