The paper introduces the class of O-metric spaces, a novel generalization of metric-type spaces, classifying almost all possible metric types into upward and downward O-metrics. We list some topologies arising from O-metrics and discuss…
Metric spaces are a fundamental component of mathematics and have a paramount importance as a framework for measuring distance. They can be found in many different branches of mathematics, such as analysis and topology. This paper offers an…
In this paper we make some observations concerning m-metric spaces and point out some discrepancies in the proofs found in the literature. To remedy this, we propose a new topological construction and prove that it is in fact a…
These informal notes were prepared in connection with a lecture at a high school mathematics tournament, and provide an overview of some examples of metric spaces and a few of their basic properties.
It is well-known that point-set topology (without additional structure) lacks the capacity to generalize the analytic concepts of completeness, boundedness, and other typically-metric properties. The ability of metric spaces to capture this…
A new method of metric space investigation, based on classification of its finite subspaces, is suggested. It admits to derive information on metric space properties which is encoded in metric. The method describes geometry in terms of only…
A generalization of the triangle inequality is introduced by a mapping similar to a t-conorm mapping. This generalization leads us to a notion for which we use the $\star$-metric terminology. We are interested in the topological space…
Finite metric spaces arise in many different contexts. Enormous bodies of data, scientific, commercial and others can often be viewed as large metric spaces. It turns out that the metric of graphs reveals a lot of interesting information.…
In some scientific fields, a scaling is able to modify the topology of an observed object. Our goal in the present work is to introduce a new formalism adapted to the mathematical representation of this kind of phenomenon. To this end, we…
In this paper we introduce the concept of the rectangular metric like spaces, along with its topology and we prove some fixed point theorems under different contraction principles. We introduce the concept of modified metric-like space as…
In this paper, we introduce the $\mathcal{F}$-metric space concept, which generalizes the metric space notion. We define a natural topology $\tau_{\mathcal{F}}$ in such spaces and we study their topological properties. Moreover, we…
In spacetime physics, we frequently need to consider a set of all spaces (`universes') as a whole. In particular, the concept of `closeness' between spaces is essential. However, there has been no established mathematical theory so far…
The concept of quasi-partial b-metric-like spaces is being introduced and studied with the help of topology. Examples are also discussed to support the results. Some fixed point theorems are proved in the setting of quasi-partial…
In this paper, using a more generalized inequality instead of triangle inequality, the notion of \theta-metric space is introduced. Some important properties of induced topology by such spaces are presented. Also, Banach and Caristi type…
Many concrete problems are formulated in terms of a finite set of points in $R^n$ which, via the ambient Euclidean metric, becomes a finite metric space. To obtain information from such a space, it is often useful to associate a graph to…
In this paper, a new structure is defined on a topological space that equips the space with a concept of distance in order to do that firstly, a generalization of quasi-pseudo-metric space named R.O-metric space is introduced, and some of…
The suggested approach makes it possible to produce a consistent description of motions of a physical system. It is shown that the concept of force fields defining the systems dynamics is equivalent to the choice of the corresponding metric…
