The concept of a 2-metric space is a natural generalization of a metric space. It has been investigated initially by Gähler [4]. Iseki [5] studied the fixed point theorems in 2-metric spaces. Sessa [17] defined weak commutativity and proved common fixed point theorem for weakly commuting maps. In [7] Jungck introduced more generalized commuting mappings, called compatible mappings, which are mo...

1 We develop the method of anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connection (in brief, N–connection) structure and show explicitly how geometries with local anisotropy (various type of Finsler–Lagrange–Cartan–Hamilton spaces) can be modelled on the metric–affine spaces. There are formulated the criteria when such generalized Finsler metrics are effectively defined in the Einstein, telepa...

In this paper, we obtain a characterization of linear spaces which may be normed so as to become complete, linear, normed metric spaces. In this connection, K. Kunugui and M. Fréchet have shown that every metric space S is isometric with a subset of a complete, linear, normed metric space. I t follows from our result that if the cardinal number of 5 is the limit of a denumerable sequence of car...

Abstract. A partial metric, also called a nonzero self-distance, is motivated by experience from computer science. Besides a lot of properties of partial metric analogous to those of metric, fixed point theorems in partial metric spaces have been studied recently. We establish several kinds of extended fixed point theorems in ordered partial metric spaces with higher dimension under generalized...

Abstract. In this paper, we introduce the concept of partial cone b-metric spaces as a generalization of partial metric, cone metric and b-metric spaces and establish some topological properties of partial cone b-metric spaces. Moreover, we also prove some common fixed point theorems for cyclic contractive mappings in such spaces. Our results generalize and extend the main results of Huang and ...

In the present paper‎, ‎we introduce the concept of generalized multivalued $F$ -‎contraction mappings and give a fixed point result‎, ‎which is a proper‎ ‎generalization of some multivalued fixed point theorems including Nadler's‎.

Very recently, Agarwal et al. (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012:40, 2012) initiated the study of fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying cyclical generalized contractive conditions in complete partial metric spaces. In the present paper, we study some fixed point theorems for a mapping satisfying a cyclical generalized contractive condition based on a pair of altering distance functions in co...

In this paper, we introduce and consider the concept of the prox-regularity of a multifunction. We mainly study the metric subregularity of a generalized equation defined by a proximal closed multifunction between two Hilbert spaces. Using proximal analysis techniques, we provide sufficient and/or necessary conditions for such a generalized equation to have the metric subregularity in Hilbert s...

In this paper, the concept of generalized Jaggi-Berinde contraction multivalued maps in partially ordered metric spaces is introduced. A fixed point theorem for such maps is established. An example is given to support our main result. We investigate the stability of fixed points for a sequence of generalized Jaggi-Berinde contraction multivalued maps in partially ordered metric spaces. Our resu...
