the notion of a probabilistic metric  space  corresponds to thesituations when we do not know exactly the  distance.  probabilistic metric space was  introduced by karl menger. alsina, schweizer and sklar gave a general definition of  probabilistic normed space based on the definition of menger [1]. in this note we study the pn spaces which are  topological vector spaces and the open mapping an...

In this paper, we introduce a new class of contractive mappings in a fuzzy metric space and we present fixed point results for this class of maps.

Using the notion of formal ball, we present a few new results in the theory of quasi-metric spaces. With no specific order: every continuous Yoneda-complete quasi-metric space is sober and convergence Choquet-complete hence Baire in its d-Scott topology; for standard quasi-metric spaces, algebraicity is equivalent to having enough center points; on a standard quasi-metric space, every lower sem...

We define a natural notion of efficiency for approximate nearest-neighbor (ANN) search in general n-point metric spaces, namely the existence of a randomized algorithm which answers (1 + ε)-approximate nearest neighbor queries in polylog(n) time using only polynomial space. We then study which families of metric spaces admit efficient ANN schemes in the black-box model, where only oracle access...

In this paper, we introduce a new concept on a complete generalized D∗-metric space by using the concept of generalized D∗-metric space (D∗-cone metric space) called ∇∗∗-distance and, by using the concept of the ∇∗∗-distance we prove some new fixed point theorems in complete partially ordered generalized D∗-metric space which is the main result of our paper. c ©2015 All rights reserved.

in this paper, we propose a new definition of intuitionistic fuzzyquasi-metric and pseudo-metric spaces based on intuitionistic fuzzy points. weprove some properties of intuitionistic fuzzy quasi- metric and pseudo-metricspaces, and show that every intuitionistic fuzzy pseudo-metric space is intuitionisticfuzzy regular and intuitionistic fuzzy completely normal and henceintuitionistic fuzzy nor...

In a paper published posthumously, Pavel Samuilovich Urysohn constructed a complete, separable metric space that contains an isometric copy of every complete separable metric space. In this paper we prove that the Urysohn univeral space is hyperconvex.

‎In this paper‎, ‎we generalize the proximal point algorithm to complete CAT(0) spaces and show‎ ‎that the sequence generated by the proximal point algorithm‎ $w$-converges to a zero of the maximal‎ ‎monotone operator‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we prove that if $f‎: ‎Xrightarrow‎ ‎]-infty‎, +‎infty]$ is a proper‎, ‎convex and lower semicontinuous‎ ‎function on the complete CAT(0) space $X$‎, ‎then the proximal...

In this paper, using the concept of w-distances on a metric space, we first prove a generalized fixed point theorem for mappings without continuity in a complete metric space. Using this result, we obtain new and well-known fixed point theorems in a complete metric space.

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...
