The problems of continuation of a partially defined metric and a partially defined ultrametric were considered in (O. Dovgoshey, O. Martio and M. Vuorinen, Metrization of weighted graphs, Ann. Comb., 17:455--476, 2013) and (A. A. Dovgoshey…
The class of quasisymmetric mappings on the real axis was first introduced by A. Beurling and L. V. Ahlfors in 1956. In 1980 P. Tukia and J. V\"{a}is\"{a}l\"{a} considered these mappings between general metric spaces. In our paper we…
S-metric and b-metric spaces are metrizable, but it is still quite impossible to get an explicit form of the concerned metric function. To overcome this, the notion of $\phi$-metric is developed by making a suitable modification in triangle…
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…
Metric spaces provide a framework for analysis and have several very useful properties. Many of these properties follow in part from the triangle inequality. However, there are several applications in which the triangle inequality does not…
This paper advances a line of research in fixed point theory initiated by M. Bessenyei and Z. P\'ales, building on their introduction of the triangle function concept in [J. Nonlinear Convex Anal, Vol 18 (3), 515-524 (2017)]. By applying…
A quasi-metric is a distance function which satisfies the triangle inequality but is not symmetric: it can be thought of as an asymmetric metric. The central result of this thesis, developed in Chapter 3, is that a natural correspondence…
Ptolemy's inequality is a classic relationship between the distances among four points in Euclidean space. Another relationship between six distances is the 4-point condition, an inequality satisfied by the lengths of the six paths that…
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…
This paper introduces a novel generalization of the classical concept of $S$-metric spaces, referred to as composed $S$-metric spaces. By incorporating a composed function, we impose more general conditions on the triangle inequality,…
We study a new generalized version of the point pair function defined with a constant $\alpha>0$. We prove that this function is a quasi-metric for all values of $\alpha>0$, and compare it to several hyperbolic-type metrics, such as the…
Metric search is concerned with the efficient evaluation of queries in metric spaces. In general,a large space of objects is arranged in such a way that, when a further object is presented as a query, those objects most similar to the query…
Our main aim in this paper is to introduce a general concept of multidimensional fixed point of a mapping in spaces with distance and establish various multidimensional fixed point results. This new concept simplifies the similar notion…
Considering quasisymmetric mappings between b-metric spaces we have found a new estimation for the ratio of diameters of two subsets which are images of two bounded subsets. This result generalizes the well-known Tukia-V\"{a}is\"{a}l\"{a}…
In this article, we study the geodesic problem in a generalized metric space, in which the distance function satisfies a relaxed triangle inequality $d(x,y)\leq \sigma (d(x,z)+d(z,y))$ for some constant $\sigma \geq 1$, rather than the…
We prove that a symmetric nonnegative function of two variables on a Lebesgue space that satisfies the triangle inequality for almost all triples of points is equivalent to some semimetric. Some other properties of metric triples (spaces…
We prove a set of inequalities that interpolate the Cauchy-Schwarz inequality and the triangle inequality. Every nondecreasing, convex function with a concave derivative induces such an inequality. They hold in any metric space that…
G\"ahler ([3],[4]) introduced the concept of 2-metric as a possible generalization of usual notion of a metric space. In many cases the results obtained in the usual metric spaces and 2-metric spaces are found to be unrelated (see [5]).…
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…
The class of O-metric spaces generalize several existing metric-types in literature including metric spaces, b-metric spaces, and ultra metric spaces. In this paper, we discuss the properties of the topology induced by an O-metric and…
