In this paper, we introduce the notion of an extended metric space ($p$-metric space) as a new generalization of the concept of $b$-metric space. Also, we present the concept of $(psi ,varphi )_{Omega}$-contractive mappings and we establish some fixed point results for this class of mappings in ordered complete $p$-metric spaces. Our results generalize several well...

in this paper, we generalize fuzzy banach contraction theorem establishedby v. gregori and a. sapena [fuzzy sets and systems 125 (2002) 245-252]using notion of altering distance which was initiated by khan et al. [bull. austral.math. soc., 30(1984), 1-9] in metric spaces.

in this paper, we introduce a new class of implicit functions and also common property (e.a) in modified intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces and utilize the same to prove some common fixed point theorems in modified intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces besides discussing related results and illustrative examples. we are not aware of any paper dealing with such implicit functions in modified intuit...

we consider the concept of ω-distance on a complete partially ordered g-metric space and prove some common fi xed point theorems.

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 article we study connections between the asymptotic rank of a metric space and higher-dimensional isoperimetric inequalities. We work in the class of metric spaces admitting cone type inequalities which, in particular, includes all Hadamard spaces, i. e. simply connected metric spaces of nonpositive curvature in the sense of Alexandrov. As was shown by Gromov, spaces with cone type ineq...

In this paper, the poset $BX$ of formal balls is studied in fuzzy partial metric space $(X,p,*)$. We introduce the notion of layered complete fuzzy partial metric space and get that the poset $BX$ of formal balls is a dcpo if and only if $(X,p,*)$ is layered complete fuzzy partial metric space.

Doust and Weston [8] introduced a new method called “enhanced negative type” for calculating a non trivial lower bound ℘T on the supremal strict p-negative type of any given finite metric tree (T, d). (In the context of finite metric trees any such lower bound ℘T > 1 is deemed to be non trivial.) In this paper we refine the technique of enhanced negative type and show how it may be applied more...

We define and study a quantale-valued Wijsman structure on the hyperspace of all non-empty closed sets of a quantale-valued metric space. We show its admissibility and that the metrical coreflection coincides with the quantale-valued Hausdorff metric and that, for a metric space, the topological coreflection coincides with the classical Wijsman topology. We further define an index of compactnes...
