Let (X, ) be a partially ordered set and d be a metric on X such that (X, d) is a complete metric space. Assume that X satisfies; if a non-decreasing sequence xn → x in X , then xn x, for all n. Let F be a set valued mapping from X into X with nonempty closed bounded values satisfying; (i) there exists κ ∈ (0, 1) with D(F (x), F (y)) ≤ κd(x, y), for all x y, (ii) if d(x, y) < ε < 1 for some y ∈...

We generalize some results of Borwein, Burke, Lewis, and Wang to mappings with values in metric (resp. ordered normed linear) spaces. We define two classes of monotone mappings between an ordered linear space and a metric space (resp. ordered linear space): K-monotone dominated and coneto-cone monotone mappings. K-monotone dominated mappings naturally generalize mappings with finite variation (...

in the present paper, we give a new approach to caristi's fixed pointtheorem on non-archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. for this we define anordinary metric $d$ using the non-archimedean fuzzy metric $m$ on a nonemptyset $x$ and we establish some relationship between $(x,d)$ and $(x,m,ast )$%. hence, we prove our result by considering the original caristi's fixedpoint theorem.

We show that a finite metric space A admits an extension to a finite metric space B so that each partial isometry of A extends to an isometry of B. We also prove a more precise result on extending a single partial isometry of a finite metric space. Both these results have consequences for the structure of the isometry groups of the rational Urysohn metric space and the Urysohn metric space.

The idea of probabilistic metric space was introduced by Menger and he showed that probabilistic metric spaces are generalizations of metric spaces. Thus, in this paper, we prove some of the important features and theorems and conclusions that are found in metric spaces. At the beginning of this paper, the distance distribution functions are proposed. These functions are essential in defining p...

An axiom system for machine spaces is introduced. Time is modeled as a totally ordered monoid, thus allowing discrete, continuous, and transfinite time structures. A generalized metric on these machine spaces is defined, having values in a directedly ordered monoid. This enables the notion of ε-balls in machine space, which, for example, can be used to explore model risk and robustness in stati...

In this paper, a concept of monotone generalized contraction in partially ordered metric spaces is introduced and some fixed point and common fixed point theorems for the so-called weak contractions are proved. The concept of weak contraction was introduced by Kada, Suzuki and Takahashi [Math. Japonica, 44 (1996), 381-391], in connection to the concept of w-distance on a metric space. The resul...
