In 1994, S.G. Matthews introduced the notion of a partial metric space and obtained, among other results, a Banach contraction mapping for these spaces. Later on, S.J. O’Neill generalized Matthews’ notion of partial metric, in order to establish connections between these structures and the topological aspects of domain theory. Here, we obtain a Banach fixed point theorem for complete partial me...

In this article we introduce and investigate the concept of a partial quasi-metric and some of its applications. We show that many important constructions studied in Matthews’s theory of partial metrics can still be used successfully in this more general setting. In particular we consider the bicompletion of the quasi-metric space that is associated with a partial quasi-metric space and study i...

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 ...
