On the topology of D-metric spaces and generation of D-metric spaces from metric spaces

Completeness in Probabilistic Metric Spaces

The idea of probabilistic metric space was introduced by Menger and he showed that probabilistic metric spaces are generalizations of metric spaces. Thus, in this paper, we prove some of the important features and theorems and conclusions that are found in metric spaces. At the beginning of this paper, the distance distribution functions are proposed. These functions are essential in defining p...

On metric spaces induced by fuzzy metric spaces

For a class of fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of George and Veeramani) with an H-type t-norm,  we present a method to construct a metric on a  fuzzy metric space. The induced metric space shares many important properties with the given fuzzy metric space.  Specifically, they generate the same topology, and have the same completeness. Our results can give the constructive proofs to some probl...

Convexity and Geodesic Metric Spaces

In this paper, we first present a preliminary study on metric segments and geodesics in metric spaces. Then we recall the concept of d-convexity of sets and functions in the sense of Menger and study some properties of d-convex sets and d-convex functions as well as extreme points and faces of d-convex sets in normed spaces. Finally we study the continuity of d-convex functions in geodesic metr...

A Fixed Point Theorem in Generalized D-metric Spaces

Quasi-contractive Mappings in Fuzzy Metric Spaces

We consider the concept of fuzzy quasi-contractions initiated by '{C}iri'{c} in the setting of fuzzy metric spaces and establish fixed point theorems for quasi-contractive mappings and for fuzzy $mathcal{H}$-contractive mappings on M-complete fuzzy metric spaces in the sense of George and Veeramani.The results are illustrated by a representative example.

A New Approach to Caristi's Fixed Point Theorem on Non-Archimedean Fuzzy Metric Spaces

In the present paper, we give a new approach to Caristi's fixed pointtheorem on non-Archimedean fuzzy metric spaces. For this we define anordinary metric $d$ using the non-Archimedean fuzzy metric $M$ on a nonemptyset $X$ and we establish some relationship between $(X,d)$ and $(X,M,ast )$%. Hence, we prove our result by considering the original Caristi's fixedpoint theorem.
