the sequential $p$-convergence in a fuzzy metric space, in the sense of george and veeramani, was introduced by d. mihet as a weaker concept than convergence. here we introduce a stronger concept called $s$-convergence, and we characterize those fuzzy metric spaces in which convergent sequences are $s$-convergent. in such a case $m$ is called an $s$-fuzzy metric. if $(n_m,ast)$ is a fuzzy metri...

In this paper, we introduce a new concept of α-ψ-ϕ-contractive integral type mappings and establish some new fixed point theorems in complete metric spaces.

Generalized metric spaces are a common generalization of preorders and ordinary metric spaces. Every generalized metric space can be isometrically embedded in a complete function space by means of a metric version of the categorical Yoneda embedding. This simple fact gives naturally rise to: 1. a topology for generalized metric spaces which for arbitrary preorders corresponds to the Alexandroo ...

The main purpose of this paper is to obtain sufficient conditions for existence of points of coincidence and common fixed points for three self mappings in $b$-metric spaces. Next, we obtain cone $b$-metric version of these results by using a scalarization function. Our results extend and generalize several well known comparable results in the existing literature.

We prove a related fixed point theorem for n mappings which arenot necessarily continuous in n fuzzy metric spaces using an implicit relationone of them is a sequentially compact fuzzy metric space which generalizeresults of Aliouche, et al. [2], Rao et al. [14] and [15].

Example 1.2. a) Let X = R and take d(x, y) = |x − y|. This is the most basic and important example. b) More generally, let N ≥ 1, let X = R , and take d(x, y) = ||x − y|| = √∑N i=1(xi − yi). It is very well known but not very obvious that d satisfies the triangle inequality. This is a special case of Minkowski’s Inequality, which will be studied later. c) More generally let p ∈ [1,∞), let N ≥ 1...

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...

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...

We give a short review of a construction of Frink to obtain a metric space from a quasi-metric space. By an example we illustrate the limits of the

An example of a D-metric space is given, in which D-metric convergence does not define a topology and in which a convergent sequence can have infinitely many limits. Certain methods for constructing D-metric spaces from a given metric space are developed and are used in constructing (1) an example of a D-metric space in which D-metric convergence defines a topology which is T1 but not Hausdorff...
