Only 3-generalized metric spaces have a compatible symmetric topology

Generalized Symmetric Divergence Measures and Metric Spaces

Abstract Recently, Taneja [7] studied two one parameter generalizations of J-divergence, Jensen-Shannon divergence and Arithmetic-Geometric divergence. These two generalizations in particular contain measures like: Hellinger discrimination, symmetric chi-square divergence, and triangular discrimination. These measures are well known in the literature of Statistics and Information theory. In thi...

Generalized Symmetric Berwald Spaces

In this paper we study generalized symmetric Berwald spaces. We show that if a Berwald space $(M,F)$ admits a parallel $s-$structure then it is locally symmetric. For a complete Berwald space which admits a parallel s-structure we show that if the flag curvature of $(M,F)$ is everywhere nonzero, then $F$ is Riemannian.

A Fixed Point Theorem in Generalized D-metric Spaces

Metric spaces in synthetic topology

We investigate the relationship between the synthetic approach to topology, in which every set is equipped with an intrinsic topology, and constructive theory of metric spaces. We relate the synthetic notion of compactness of Cantor space to Brouwer’s Fan Principle. We show that the intrinsic and metric topologies of complete separable metric spaces coincide if they do so for Baire space. In Ru...

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...
