From fuzzy metric spaces to modular metric spaces: a fixed point approach
2017
We propose an intuitive theorem which uses some concepts of auxiliary functions for establishing existence and uniqueness of the fixed point of a self-mapping. First we work in the setting of fuzzy metric spaces in the sense of George and Veeramani, then we deduce some consequences in modular metric spaces. Finally, a sample homotopy result is derived making use of the main theorem.
Thin and fat sets for doubling measures in metric spaces
2011
We consider sets in uniformly perfect metric spaces which are null for every doubling measure of the space or which have positive measure for all doubling measures. These sets are called thin and fat, respectively. In our main results, we give sufficient conditions for certain cut-out sets being thin or fat.
Approximate fixed points of set-valued mapping in b-metric space
2016
We establish existence results related to approximate fixed point property of special types of set-valued contraction mappings, in the setting of b-metric spaces. As consequences of the main theorem, we give some fixed point results which generalize and extend various fixed point theorems in the existing literature. A simple example illustrates the new theory. Finally, we apply our results to establishing the existence of solution for some differential and integral problems.
Common Fixed points for multivalued generalized contractions on partial metric spaces
2013
We establish some common fixed point results for multivalued mappings satisfying generalized contractive conditions on a complete partial metric space. The presented theorems extend some known results to partial metric spaces. We motivate our results by some given examples and an application for finding the solution of a functional equation arising in dynamic programming.

Some fixed point theorems for generalized contractive mappings in complete metric spaces
2015
We introduce new concepts of generalized contractive and generalized alpha-Suzuki type contractive mappings. Then, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of a fixed point of these classes of mappings on complete metric spaces and b-complete b-metric spaces. Our results extend the theorems of Ciric, Chatterjea, Kannan and Reich.
Set-Valued Generalizations of Baire′s Category Theorem
1995
Abstract We prove some generalizations of Baire′s category theorem for chains of iterates of multifunctions defined on Cech-complete spaces. In particular, we extend Lennard′s results stated for functions on complete metric spaces.
A note on best approximation in 0-complete partial metric spaces
2014
We study the existence and uniqueness of best proximity points in the setting of 0-complete partial metric spaces. We get our results by showing that the generalizations, which we have to consider, are obtained from the corresponding results in metric spaces. We introduce some new concepts and consider significant theorems to support this fact.
Common Fixed Points in a Partially Ordered Partial Metric Space
2013
In the first part of this paper, we prove some generalized versions of the result of Matthews in (Matthews, 1994) using different types of conditions in partially ordered partial metric spaces for dominated self-mappings or in partial metric spaces for self-mappings. In the second part, using our results, we deduce a characterization of partial metric 0-completeness in terms of fixed point theory. This result extends the Subrahmanyam characterization of metric completeness.
On a theorem of Khan in a generalized metric space
2013
Existence and uniqueness of fixed points are established for a mapping satisfying a contractive condition involving a rational expression on a generalized metric space. Several particular cases and applications as well as some illustrative examples are given.
