“…Several authors have recently contributed to a vigorous development of the theory of fixed point for some classes of generalized metric spaces, as cone metric spaces, quasi-metric spaces and partial metric spaces (see [1,2,3,4,5,6,9,13,15,17,18,23,26], etc.). In particular, Romaguera [23], and Acar, Altun and Romaguera [2], have obtained characterizations of 0-complete and complete partial metric spaces, respectively, in the style of the aforementioned Kirk characterization of metric completeness.…”
