We learn mathematics subjectively and must apply it objectively. But sometimes, we apply it subjectively by using wrong intuitions which may be elusive to our eyes. The aim of this note is to disclose the secretes of two kinds of these…
We investigate the theory of finite observables, i.e., resolutions of the finite-dimensional identity by means of positive operators, that have a physical interpretation in terms of measurement schemes. We focus on extremal and rank-one…
In this article, we generalize some frequently used metrical notions such as: completeness, closedness, continuity, g-continuity and compatibility to relation-theoretic setting and utilize these relatively weaker notions to prove results on…
{Researchers recently introduced interpolative metric spaces and established fixed-point theorems in this setting. We demonstrate that these metrics are a special case of b-metrics. On the other hand, suprametrics and b-suprametrics have…
We use the notion of topological data analysis to compare metrics on data sets. We provide two different motivating examples for this. The first of these is a point cloud data set that has $\mathbb{R}^2$ as its ambient space, and is…
We prove an existence and uniqueness theorem for fixed points of contraction maps in the framework of quantum metric spaces, where distinguishability is defined by the $L^2$ norm: $d_Q(\psi_1,\psi_2) = \|\psi_1 - \psi_2\|$. The result…
We observe that some natural mathematical definitions are lifting properties relative to simplest counterexamples, namely the definitions of surjectivity and injectivity of maps, as well as of being connected, separation axioms $T_0$ and…
In this paper, we introduce the neutrosophic contractive and neutrosophic mapping. We establish some results on fixed points of a neutrosophic mapping.
The aim of this paper is to discuss Penot's problem on a generalization of Caristi's fixed point theorem. We settle this problem in the negative and we present some new theorems on the existence of fixed points of set-valued mappings in…
In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for self-mappings defined on bipolar metric spaces using a new class of contractive conditions, namely polynomial-type contractions. Our main results establish…
We prove a general finite convergence theorem for "upward-guarded" fixpoint expressions over a well-quasi-ordered set. This has immediate applications in regular model checking of well-structured systems, where a main issue is the eventual…
In this paper we prove FG-coupled fixed point theorems for different contractive mappings and generalized quasi- contractive mappings in partially ordered complete metric spaces. We prove the existence of FG-coupled fixed points of…
We study some problems in metric Diophantine approximation over local fields of positive characteristic.
In this note some philosophical thoughts and observations about mathematics are expressed, arranged as challenges to some common claims.
In this paper, we give an interesting extension of the partial S-metric space which was introduced [4] to the M_s-metric space. Also, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for a self mapping on an Ms-metric space under…
A metric space $X$ is rigid if the isometry group of $X$ is trivial. The finite ultrametric spaces $X$ with $|X| \geq 2$ are not rigid since for every such $X$ there is a self-isometry having exactly $|X|-2$ fixed points. Using the…
This note corrects a technical error in the ACM Computing Surveys paper mentioned in the title. The flaw involved constructions for showing that timed automata with urgent locations have the same expressiveness as timed automata that allow…
We present a fixed point theorem on topological cylinders in normed linear spaces for maps satisfying a property of stretching a space along paths. This result is a generalization of a similar theorem obtained by D. Papini and F. Zanolin.…

Let (X, d) be a complete metric space, and let S, T : X to CB(X) be a duality of multi-valued generalized weak contraction mappings or a duality of generalized weak contraction mappings. We discuss the common fixed points and endpoints of…
