We consider a general notion of snowflake of a metric space by composing the distance with a nontrivial concave function. We prove that a snowflake of a metric space X isometrically embeds into some finite-dimensional normed space if and only if X is finite. In the case of power functions we give a uniform bound on the cardinality of X depending only on the power exponent and the dimension of t...

Let V be an n-dimensional vector space over a finite field Fq. We consider on V the π-metric dπ recently introduced by K. Feng, L. Xu and F. J. Hickernell. In this paper we give a complete description of the group of symmetries of the metric space (V, dπ).

motivated by samet et al. [nonlinear anal., 75(4) (2012), 2154-2165], we introduce the notions of $alpha$-$phi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and $beta$-$psi$-fuzzy contractive mapping and prove two theorems which ensure the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for these two types of mappings. the presented theorems extend, generalize and improve the corresponding results given in the literature.

in this paper, the matsumoto metric with special ricci tensor has been investigated. it is proved that, if  is ofpositive (negative) sectional curvature and f is of  -parallel ricci curvature with constant killing 1-form ,then (m,f) is a riemannian einstein space. in fact, we generalize the riemannian result established by akbar-zadeh.

the aim of this paper is to establish random coincidence point results for weakly increasing random operators in the setting of ordered metric spaces by using generalized altering distance functions. our results present random versions and extensions of some well-known results in the current literature.

n this paper, we prove some common fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings and we present some new generalization contractive conditions under the condition of weak compatibility. our results extends chang-chen’s results  as well as ´ciri´c results. an example is given to support the usability of our results.

Many natural language processing still depend on the Euclidean distance function between the two feature vectors, but it has severe defects as to feature weightings and feature correlations. In this paper we propose an optimal metric distance function that can be used as an alternative to the Euclidean distance, accommodating the two problems at the same time. This metric is optimal in the sens...

let (x, d) be a compact metric space and f : x → x be a continuous map. consider the metric space (k(x),h) of all non empty compact subsets of x endowed with the hausdorff metric induced by d. let ¯ f : k(x) → k(x) be defined by ¯ f(a) = {f(a) : a ∈ a} . we show that block-coppels chaos in f implies block-coppels chaos in ¯ f if f is a bijection.

In this paper, we have dened and studied a generalized form of topological vector spaces called s-topological vector spaces. s-topological vector spaces are dened by using semi-open sets and semi-continuity in the sense of Levine. Along with other results, it is proved that every s-topological vector space is generalized homogeneous space. Every open subspace of an s-topological vector space is...

In the present paper, we introduces the notion of integral type contractive mapping with respect to ordered S-metric space and prove some coupled common fixed point results of integral type contractive mapping in ordered S-metric space. Moreover, we give an example to support our main result.
