“…In this connection it should also be mentioned that before the introduction of partial metric spaces, there were other generalizations of metric spaces, most notably 2metric spaces and generalized metric spaces where fixed point theorems for contractive mappings had been investigated (see for example the work of Das et al [4,10] or Dey et al [17]. Again in [1,5,11] one finds several fixed point theorems proved for operators involving Kannan contractions, weak contractions and ground space sometimes endowed with an associated graph. In particular, exclusively with Kannan contraction in fixed point theory, we have references like [8,12,13].…”
