“…There are in the literature a great number of generalizations of the Banach contraction principle (see [1,2] and others). Some generalizations of the notion of a metric space have been proposed by some authors, such as, rectangular metric spaces, semi metric spaces, pseudo metric spaces, probabilistic metric spaces, fuzzy metric spaces, quasi metric spaces, quasi semi metric spaces, D-metric spaces, and cone metric spaces (see [5]- [10]).…”
