In this paper, two open questions on strong $b$-metric spaces posed by Kirk and Shahzad [11, Chapter 12] are investigated. A counter-example is constructed to give a negative answer to the first question, and a theorem on the completion of…

For a fixed $K\gg 1$ and $n\in\mathbb{N}$, $n\gg 1$, we study metric spaces which admit embeddings with distortion $\le K$ into each $n$-dimensional Banach space. Classical examples include spaces embeddable into $\log n$-dimensional…

We focus on the new type perturbed metric spaces and introduce a contraction mapping namely new type perturbed Kannan mappings. For these mappings, we show that Banach's fixed point theorem holds. Moreover, this new generalization of…

In this paper, methods of second order and higher order reverse mathematics are applied to versions of a theorem of Banach that extends the Schroeder-Bernstein theorem. Some additional results address statements in higher order arithmetic…

In this paper, we establish some new fixed point theorems and coincidence point theorems for essential distances and $e^{0}$-metrics which generalize and improve Berinde-Berinde's fixed point theorem, Mizoguchi-Takahashi's fixed point…

This work proves certain general orbifold compactness results for spaces of Riemannian metrics, generalizing earlier results along these lines for Einstein metrics or metrics with bounded Ricci curvature. This is then applied to prove such…

This paper deals with functions that defined in metric spaces and valued in complete paranormed vector spaces or valued in Banach spaces, and obtains some necessary and sufficient conditions for weak convergence of finite measures.

Two open problems in the fixed point theory of quasi metric spaces posed in [Berinde, V. and Choban, M. M., {\it Generalized distances and their associate metrics. Impact on fixed point theory}, Creat. Math. Inform. {\bf 22} (2013), no. 1,…

The generic chaining method provides a sharp description of the suprema of many random processes in terms of the geometry of their index sets. The chaining functionals that arise in this theory are however notoriously difficult to control…

In this paper we correct an inaccuracy that appears in the proof of Theorem 1. in Czerwik's article "Contraction mappings in $b$-metric spaces.", Acta Math. Inform. Univ. Ostraviensis, 1:5--11, 1993.

In the present paper, we prove generalizations of Banach, Kannan, Chatterjea, \'Ciri\'c-Reich-Rus fixed point theorems, as well as of the fixed point theorem for mappings contracting perimeters of triangles. We consider corresponding…

In this paper, we prove coincidence and common fixed points results under nonlinear contractions on a metric space equipped with an arbitrary binary relation. Our results extend, generalize, modify and unify several known results especially…

The comparison type version of the fixed point result in ordered metric spaces established by Nieto and Rodriguez-Lopez [Acta Math. Sinica (English Series), 23 (2007), 2205-2212] is nothing but a particular case of the classical Banach's…

We introduce the notion of cotype of a metric space, and prove that for Banach spaces it coincides with the classical notion of Rademacher cotype. This yields a concrete version of Ribe's theorem, settling a long standing open problem in…

In a recent article by Farah and the authors, a strong lifting theorem was proved for a class of coordinate-respecting maps between reduced products of discrete structures, hereby working under mild Forcing Axioms. We generalise this…

We first prove that for every metrizable space $X$, for every closed subset $F$ whose complement is zero-dimensional, the space $X$ can be embedded into a product space of the closed subset $F$ and a metrizable zero-dimensional space as a…

A generalized version of both rectangular metric spaces and rectangular quasi-metric spaces is known as rectangular quasi b-metric spaces (RQB-MS). In the current work, we define generalized $( \theta,\phi) $-contraction mappings and study…

In this paper, we introduced two new generalized metric spaces called partial b_{v}(s) and b_{v}({\theta}) metric spaces which extend b_{v}(s) metric space, b-metric space, rectangular metric space, v-generalized metric space, partial…

We present a general fixed point theorem which can be seen as the quintessence of the principles of proof for Banach's Fixed Point Theorem, ultrametric and certain topological fixed point theorems. It works in a minimal setting, not…
