Generalized Metric Spaces and Locally Uniformly Rotund Renormings
2009
A class of generalized metric spaces is a class of spaces defined by a property shared by all metric αspaces which is close to metrizability in some sense [Gru84]. The s-spaces are defined by replacing the base by network in the Bing-Nagata-Smirnov metrization theorem; i.e. a topological space is a αspace if it has a αdiscrete network. Here we shall deal with a further re- finement replacing discrete by isolated or slicely isolated. Indeed we will see that the identity map from a subset A of a normed space is A of a normedslicely continuous if, and only if, the weak topology relative to A has a s-slicely isolated network. If A is also a radial set then we have that the identity map Id : (X,…
On the classification of mapping class actions on Thurston's asymmetric metric
2011
AbstractWe study the action of the elements of the mapping class group of a surface of finite type on the Teichmüller space of that surface equipped with Thurston's asymmetric metric. We classify such actions as elliptic, parabolic, hyperbolic and pseudo-hyperbolic, depending on whether the translation distance of such an element is zero or positive and whether the value of this translation distance is attained or not, and we relate these four types to Thurston's classification of mapping class elements. The study is parallel to the one made by Bers in the setting of Teichmüller space equipped with Teichmüller's metric, and to the one made by Daskalopoulos and Wentworth in the setting of Te…
Fixed point theorems for twisted (α,β)-ψ-contractive type mappings and applications
2013
The purpose of this paper is to discuss the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for new classes of mappings defined on a complete metric space. The obtained results generalize some recent theorems in the literature. Several applications and interesting consequences of our theorems are also given.
An amalgamation property for metric spaces
2016
In this paper we show that sufficiently similar finite metric spaces can be amalgamated so that the distance between them is sufficiently small.
Coupled fixed point results in cone metric spaces for -compatible mappings
2011
In this paper, we introduce the concepts of -compatible mappings, b-coupled coincidence point and b-common coupled fixed point for mappings F, G : X × X → X, where (X, d) is a cone metric space. We establish b-coupled coincidence and b-common coupled fixed point theorems in such spaces. The presented theorems generalize and extend several well-known comparable results in the literature, in particular the recent results of Abbas et al. [Appl. Math. Comput. 217, 195-202 (2010)]. Some examples are given to illustrate our obtained results. An application to the study of existence of solutions for a system of non-linear integral equations is also considered. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classificati…

Fixed point theorems for α-set-valued quasi-contractions in b-metric spaces
2015
Recently, Samet et al. [B. Samet, C. Vetro and P. Vetro, Fixed point theorems for alpha-psi-contractive type mappings, Nonlinear Anal., 75 (2012), 2154-2165] introduced the notion of alpha-psi-contractive mappings and established some fixed point results in the setting of complete metric spaces. In this paper, we introduce the notions of alpha-set-valued contraction and alpha-set-valued quasi-contraction and we give some fixed point theorems for such classes of mappings in the setting of b-metric spaces and ordered b-metric spaces. The presented theorems extend, unify and generalize several well-known comparable results in the existing literature.
Fixed point results in cone metric spaces
2010
We prove a result on points of coincidence and common fixed points for three self mappings satisfying a weak generalized contractive type condition in cone metric spaces. We deduce some results on common fixed points for two self mappings satisfying a weak contractive type condition in cone metric spaces. This results generalize some well-known recent results.
On fixed points of Berinde’s contractive mappings in cone metric spaces
2010
In this paper we establish some common fixed point theorems for two self-mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition. This result generalizes well known comparable results in the literature. As an application, a necessary and sufficient condition for a fixed point to be a periodic point for the mapping involved therein, without appealing to continuity, in a cone metric space is established.
