In 1989, Kent and Richardson [Ordered probabilistic metric spaces, J. Austral. Math. Soc. Ser. A 46(1) (1989), 88-99, MR0966286 (90b:54022)] introduced the class of probabilistic quasi-metric spaces which offers a wider framework than that of metric spaces. The aim of this paper is to prove common fixed point theorems for single-valued and set-valued weakly compatible mappings in Menger probabi...

Introduction Sessa [9] generalized the notion of commuting maps given by Jungck [2] and introduced weakly commuting mappings. Further, Jungck [3] introduced more generalized commutativity called compatibility. In 1998, Jungck and Rhoades [4] introduced the notion of weakly compatible maps and showed that compatible maps are weakly compatible but converse need not true. Menger [5] introduced the...

General topology can be regarded as a special case of fuzzy topology where all membership functions in question take values 0 and 1 only. The usual fuzzy metric spaces, fuzzy Hausdorff topological vector spaces, and Menger probabilistic metric spaces are all the special cases of F-type fuzzy topological spaces. Therefore, one would expect weaker results in the case of fuzzy topology. Recently s...

In this work, we introduce the notion of Menger probabilistic metric type space, on the other hand, we introduce a more general class of auxiliary functions in contractivity condition, following that, we obtain some multipled common fixed point theorems for a pair of mappings T : X×X · · · ×X } {{ } m-times → X and A : X→ X. As an application, we give out an example to demonstrate the validity ...

In this paper, we give some new coupled common fixed point theorems for probabilistic φ-contractions in Menger probabilistic metric spaces. As applications of the main results, we obtain some coupled common fixed point theorems in usual metric spaces and fuzzy metric spaces. The main results of this paper improve the corresponding results given by some authors. Finally, we give one example to i...

In this paper, the new concepts of subcompatibility and subsequential continuity which are respectively weaker than occasionally weak compatibility and reciprocal continuity in intuitionistic Menger space has been applied to prove a common fixed point theorem. We extend the result of [1] from metric space to intuitionistic Menger space. Also we cited examples in support our results.

Here we prove a probabilistic contraction mapping principle in Menger spaces. This is in line with research in fixed point theory using control functions which was initiated by Khan et al. [Bull. Austral. Math. Soc., 30(1984), 1-9] in metric spaces and extended by Choudhury et al. [Acta Mathematica Sinica, 24(8) (2008), 1379-1386] in probabilistic metric spaces. An example has also been constru...

A probabilistic semi-metric space (S, F ) is said to be of class H ([5]) if there exists a metric d on S such that, for t > 0, d(p, q) < t ⇔ Fpq(t) > 1− t. We will prove that (S, F ) is of class H iff the mapping K, defined on S × S by K (p, q) = sup{t ≥ 0 | t ≤ 1− Fpq(t)} is a metric on S. Two fixed point theorems for multivalued contractions in probabilistic metric spaces are also proved. Inc...
