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 ...

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of partial-quasi k-metric spaces and strongly partial- quasi spaces, their relationship to metric are studied. Furthermore, obtain some results on fixed point theorems in spaces.

We introduce a new type of Caristi’s mapping on partial metric spaces and show that a partial metric space is complete if and only if every Caristi mapping has a fixed point. From this result we deduce a characterization of bicomplete weightable quasi-metric spaces. Several illustrative examples are given.
