Distance structures for generalized metric spaces

Fixed point theorems on generalized $c$-distance in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces

In this paper, we introduce a concept of a generalized $c$-distance in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces and, by using the concept, we prove some fixed point theorems in ordered cone $b$-metric spaces. Our results generalize the corresponding results obtained by Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, Shenghua Wang (Y. J. Cho, R. Saadati, Shenghua Wang, Common fixed point  heorems on generalized distance in ordere...

Generalized Distance and Common Fixed Point Theorems in Menger Probablistic Metric Spaces

Complete Generalized Metric Spaces

The well-known Banach’s fixed point theorem asserts that ifD X, f is contractive and X, d is complete, then f has a unique fixed point inX. It is well known that the Banach contraction principle 1 is a very useful and classical tool in nonlinear analysis. In 1969, Boyd and Wong 2 introduced the notion ofΦ-contraction. A mapping f : X → X on a metric space is called Φ-contraction if there exists...

Gromov–hausdorff Distance for Quantum Metric Spaces

By a quantum metric space we mean a C∗-algebra (or more generally an order-unit space) equipped with a generalization of the usual Lipschitz seminorm on functions which one associates to an ordinary metric. We develop for compact quantum metric spaces a version of Gromov–Hausdorff distance. We show that the basic theorems of the classical theory have natural quantum analogues. Our main example ...

Distance Covariance in Metric Spaces

We extend the theory of distance (Brownian) covariance from Euclidean spaces, where it was introduced by Székely, Rizzo and Bakirov, to general metric spaces. We show that for testing independence, it is necessary and sufficient that the metric space be of strong negative type. In particular, we show that this holds for separable Hilbert spaces, which answers a question of Kosorok. Instead of t...
