Recently, S-metric spaces are introduced as a generalization of metric spaces. In this paper, we consider the relationships between of an S-metric space and a metric space, and give an example of an S-metric which does not generate a metric. Then, we introduce new contractive mappings on S-metric spaces and investigate relationships among them by counterexamples. In addition, we obtain new fixed point theorems on S-metric spaces.
In this paper, we introduce the concept of the rectangular M-metric spaces, along with its topology and we prove some fixed-point theorems under different contraction principles with various techniques. The obtained results generalize some classical fixed-point results such as the Banach's contraction principle, the Kannan's fixed-point theorem and the Chatterjea's fixed-point theorem. Also we give an application to the fixed-circle problem.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
