In 1964, A. I. Perov generalized the Banach contraction principle introducing, following the work of ¯D. Kurepa, a new approach to fixed point problems, by defining generalized metric spaces (also known as vector valued metric spaces), and providing some actual results for the first time. Using the recent approach of coordinate representation for a generalized metric of Jachymski and Klima, we verify in this article some natural properties of generalized metric spaces, already owned by standard metric spaces. Among other results, we show that the theorems of Nemytckii (1936) and Edelstein (1962) are valid in generalized metric spaces, as well. A new application to fractional differential equations is also presented. At the end we state a few open questions for young researchers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this article, we introduce generalized cyclic contractions in the context of metric-like spaces and prove some new fixed point results concerning these contractions. Our results, extend and unify several results in existing literature. We present suitable examples to make our findings worth mentioning. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce the concept of F--G--contraction mappings in F-metric spaces endowed with a graph and give some fixed point results for such contractions. Our results are generalization of some famous theorem in metric spaces to F--metric spaces endowed with a graph. Also, we give some examples that support obtained theoretical results.

The purpose of this short note is to consider much shorter and nicer proofs about fixed point results on b-metric spaces via b-simulation function introduced very recently by Demma et al. [M. Demma, R. Saadati, P. Vetro, Fixed point results on b-metric space via Picard sequences and b-simulation functions, Iranian J. Math. Sci. Infor. 11 (1) (2016) 123-136]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We give a proof for the common fixed point theorem of Jungck in rectangular b-metric spaces. As a corollary, we obtain well known common fixed point theorems in b-metric spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper is introduced a new type of generalization of metric spaces called Sb metric space. For this new kind of spaces it has been proved a common fixed point theorem for four mappings which satisfy generalized contractive condition. We also present example to confirm our theorem.

In this paper, we present a new type of contraction calledW-contraction in fuzzy metric space. Utilizing this contraction, we establish a unique fixed point theorem for self-map in the structure of fuzzy metric space which turns out to be generalization of fuzzy contraction given by Gregori et al. [8]. As an application of our result, we study the existence and uniqueness of the solution to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The article also includes an example which shows the validity of our results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper direct proofs of some common fixed point results for two and three mappings under weak contractive conditions are given. Some of these results are improved by using different arguments of control functions. Examples are presented showing that some generalizations can not be obtained and also that our results are distinct from the existing ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We prove several fixed point theorems on cone metric spaces in which the cone does not need to be normal. These theorems generalize the recent results of Huang and Zhang (2007), Abbas and Jungck (2008), and Vetro (2007). Furthermore as corollaries, we obtain recent results of Rezapour and Hamlborani (2008). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A lot of authors have proved various common fixed-point results for pairs of self-mappings under strict contractive conditions in metric spaces. In the case of cone metric spaces, fixed point results are usually proved under assumption that the cone is normal. In the present paper we prove common fixed point results under strict contractive conditions in cone metric spaces using only the assumption that the cone interior is nonempty. We modify the definition of property (E.A), introduced recently in the work by Aamri and Moutawakil (2002), and use it instead of usual assumptions about commutativity or compatibility of the given pair. Examples show that the obtained results are proper extensions of the existing ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

New fixed point results for a pair of non-self mappings defined on a closed subset of a metrically convex cone metric space (which is not necessarily normal) are obtained. By adapting Assad-Kirk's method the existence of a unique common fixed point for a pair of non-self mappings is proved, using only the assumption that the cone interior is nonempty. Examples show that the obtained results are proper extensions of the existing ones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, Chao Wang, Jinghao Zhu, Bogko Damjanovid, Liang-gen Hu [Approximating fixed points of a pair of contractive type mappings in generalized convex metric spaces, Applied Mathematics and Computation 215 (2009) 1522-1525] proved some results for an Ishikawa type iteration process with errors, which converges to the unique common fixed point of a pair of contractive type mappings in complete generalized convex metric spaces. The aim of this paper is to consider this in the frame of abstract (cone) metric spaces. We extend some fixed point results of these mappings from complete generalized convex metric spaces to convex abstract metric spaces with the solid cone. Also, we have improved some results. Four examples are included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: In this paper we introduce the concept of a w-compatible mappings to obtain coupled coincidence point and coupled point of coincidence for nonlinear contractive mappings in cone metric space with a cone having non-empty interior. Coupled common fixed point theorems for such mappings are also proved. Our results generalize, extend and unify several well known comparable results in the literature. Results are supported by three examples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this paper is to initiate the study of best proximity point and optimal coincidence point results of some a Pata-proximal admissible contraction of type-I and type-II in the framework of complete metric space. Some examples are presented to support the results obtained herein. Our results unify, extend and generalize various existing results in literature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a pair (f, h) called upper class of type II and αβ-contractive mappings. We obtain that all the corresponding established results of Hussain et al. [7] are immediately consequences of our main result. Our main result generalizes and modifies several existing results in literature. Also, an example is given to support the main result.
