in this paper, we introduce a function in order to measure the distancebetween two order intervals of fuzzy numbers, and show that this function isa metric. we investigate some properties of this metric, and finally presentan application. we think that this study could provide a more generalframework for researchers studying on interval analysis, fuzzy analysis andfuzzy decision making.

best approximation results provide an approximate solution to the fixed point equation $tx=x$, when the non-self mapping $t$ has no fixed point. in particular, a well-known best approximation theorem, due to fan cite{5}, asserts that if $k$ is a nonempty compact convex subset of a hausdorff locally convex topological vector space $e$ and $t:krightarrow e$ is a continuous mapping, then there exi...

In spacetime physics, we frequently need to consider a set of all spaces (‘universes’) as a whole. In particular, the concept of ‘closeness’ between spaces is essential. However there has been no established mathematical theory so far which deals with a space of spaces in a suitable manner for spacetime physics. Based on the scheme of the spectral representation of geometry, we construct a spac...

Very recently, Kuman et al. [P. Kumam, W. Sintunavarat, S. Sedghi, and N. Shobkolaei. Common Fixed Point of Two $R$-Weakly Commuting Mappings in $b$-Metric Spaces. Journal of Function Spaces, Volume 2015, Article ID 350840, 5 pages] obtained some interesting common fixed point results for two mappings satisfying generalized contractive condition in $b$-metric space without the assumption of the...

the geometry of a system of second order differential equations is the geometry of a semispray, which is a globally defined vector field on tm. the metrizability of a given semispray is of special importance. in this paper, the metric associated with the semispray s is applied in order to study some types of foliations on the tangent bundle which are compatible with sode structure. indeed, suff...

in this paper, the notion of cyclic $varphi$-contraction in fuzzymetric spaces is introduced and a fixed point theorem for this typeof mapping is established. meantime, an example is provided toillustrate this theorem. the main result shows that a self-mappingon a g-complete fuzzy metric space has a unique fixed point if itsatisfies the cyclic $varphi$-contraction. afterwards, some results inco...

in this paper, several xed point theorems for t-contraction of two maps on cone metric spaces under normality condition are proved. obtained results extend and generalize well-known comparable results in the literature.
