Partial Metrics Viewed as w-Distances: Extending Some Powerful Fixed-Point Theorems
Salvador Romaguera,
Pedro Tirado
Abstract:Involving w-distances and hybrid contractions that combine conditions of the Ćirić type and Samet et al. type, we obtain some general fixed-point results for quasi-metric spaces from which powerful and significant fixed-point theorems on partial metric spaces are deduced as special cases. We present examples showing that our results are real generalizations of those corresponding to the partial metric case and we give an application to the study of recursive equations where the usual Baire partial metric on a … Show more
