In the early 80's, Alain Quilliot presented an approach of ordered sets and graphs in terms of metric spaces, where instead of positive real numbers, the values of the distance are elements of an ordered monoid equipped with an involution.…

A self-map $T$ of a $\nu$-generalized metric space $(X,d\,)$ is said to be a Ciric-Matkowski contraction if $d(Tx,Ty)<d(x,y)$, for $x\neq y$, and, for every $\epsilon>0$, there is $\delta>0$ such that $d(x,y)<\delta+\epsilon$ implies…

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.…

We extend to binary relational systems the notion of compact and normal structure, introduced by J.P.Penot for metric spaces, and we prove that for the involutive and reflexive ones, every commuting family of relational homomorphisms has a…

Metric spaces $(X, d)$ are ubiquitous objects in mathematics and computer science that allow for capturing (pairwise) distance relationships $d(x, y)$ between points $x, y \in X$. Because of this, it is natural to ask what useful…

In this article, we derive a common fixed point result for a pair of single valued and set-valued mappings on a metric space having graphical structure. In this case, the set-valued map is assumed to be closed valued instead of closed and…

The objective of this manuscript is to introduce and develop the concept of a generalized $\theta$-parametric metric space-a novel extension that enriches the modern metric fixed point theory. We study of its fundamental properties,…

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…

The notion of a (metric) modular on an arbitrary set and the corresponding modular space, more general than a metric space, were introduced and studied recently by the author [V. V. Chistyakov, Metric modulars and their application, Dokl.…

In this paper, we discuss recent results about generalized metric spaces and fixed point theory. We introduce the notion of $\eta$-cone metric spaces, give some topological properties and prove some fixed point theorems for contractive type…

We give Ramsey expansions of classes of generalised metric spaces where distances come from a linearly ordered commutative monoid. This complements results of Conant about the extension property for partial automorphisms and extends an…

In 2007 H. Long-Guang and Z. Xian, [H. Long-Guang and Z. Xian, Cone Metric Spaces and Fixed Point Theorems of Contractive Mapping, J. Math. Anal. Appl., 322(2007), 1468-1476], generalized the concept of a metric space, by introducing cone…

In this paper we consider partial metric spaces in the sense of O'Neill. We introduce the notions of strong partial metric spaces and Cauchy functions. We prove a fixed point theorem for such spaces and functions that improves Matthews'…

The paper studies a general scheme for constructing metrics on a product of metric spaces by means of a family of continuous convex functions. This construction includes the conventional $p$-metrics and generates metrics that are…

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…

Interactions and relations between objects may be pairwise or higher-order in nature, and so network-valued data are ubiquitous in the real world. The "space of networks", however, has a complex structure that cannot be adequately described…

Fixed point results with respect to generalized rational contractive mappings in semi-metric spaces endowed with a directed graph are proved. Some examples are provided to illustrate the results. The obtained results extend, improve and…

In this paper we combine the notions of partial metric spaces with negative distances, $G_p$-metric spaces and n-metric spaces together into one structure called the partial n-metric spaces. These are generalizations of all the said…

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, we propose a generalized notion of a distance function, called a $g$-metric. The $g$-metric with degree $n$ is a distance of $n+1$ points, generalizing the ordinary distance between two points and $G$-metric between three…
