AbstractWe define a pseudometric on the set of all unbounded subsets of a metric space. The Kolmogorov quotient of this pseudometric space is a complete metric space. The definition of the pseudometric is guided by the principle that two unbounded subsets have distance 0 whenever they stay sublinearly close. Based on this pseudometric we introduce and study a general concept of boundaries of metric spaces. Such a boundary is the closure of a subset in the Kolmogorov quotient determined by an arbitrarily chosen family of unbounded subsets. Our interest lies in those boundaries which we get by choosing unbounded cyclic sub(semi)groups of a finitely generated group (or more general of a compactly generated, locally compact Hausdorff group). We show that these boundaries are quasi-isometric invariants and determine them in the case of nilpotent groups as a disjoint union of certain spheres (or projective spaces). In addition we apply this concept to vertex-transitive graphs with polynomial growth and to random walks on nilpotent groups.

AbstractWe prove a duality relation for the moduli of the family of curves connecting two sets and the family of surfaces separating the sets, in the setting of a complete metric space equipped with a doubling measure and supporting a Poincaré inequality. Then we apply this to show that quasiconformal mappings can be characterized by the fact that they quasi-preserve the modulus of certain families of surfaces.

The purpose of this study is to introduce a new type of extended metric space, i.e., the rectangular quasi-partial b-metric space, which means a relaxation of the symmetry requirement of metric spaces, by including a real number s in the definition of the rectangular metric space defined by Branciari. Here, we obtain a fixed point theorem for interpolative Rus–Reich–Ćirić contraction mappings in the realm of rectangular quasi-partial b-metric spaces. Furthermore, an example is also illustrated to present the applicability of our result.

We introduce a new class of nonself-mappings, generalized proximal weak contraction mappings, and prove the existence and uniqueness of best proximity point for such mappings in the context of complete metric spaces. Moreover, we state an algorithm to determine such an optimal approximate solution designed as a best proximity point. We establish also an example to illustrate our main results. Our result provides an extension of the related results in the literature.

Recently, George et al. (in Georgea, R.; Radenovicb, S.; Reshmac, K.P.; Shuklad, S. Rectangular b-metric space and contraction principles. J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 2015, 8, 1005–1013) furnished the notion of rectangular b-metric pace (RBMS) by taking the place of the binary sum of triangular inequality in the definition of a b-metric space ternary sum and proved some results for Banach and Kannan contractions in such space. In this paper, we achieved fixed-point results for a pair of F-dominated mappings fulfilling a generalized rational F-dominated contractive condition in the better framework of complete rectangular b-metric spaces complete rectangular b-metric spaces. Some new fixed-point results with graphic contractions for a pair of graph-dominated mappings on rectangular b-metric space have been obtained. Some examples are given to illustrate our conclusions. New results in ordered spaces, partial b-metric space, dislocated metric space, dislocated b-metric space, partial metric space, b-metric space, rectangular metric spaces, and metric space can be obtained as corollaries of our results.

We show first the definition of variational convergence of unifunctions and their basic variational properties. In the next section, we extend this variational convergence definition in case the functions which are defined on product two sets (bifunctions or bicomponent functions). We present the definition of variational convergence of bifunctions, icluding epi/hypo convergence, minsuplop convergnece and maxinf-lop convergence, defined on metric spaces. Its variational properties are also considered. In this paper, we concern on the properties of epi/hypo convergence to apply these results on optimization proplems in two last sections. Next we move on to the main results that are approximations of typical and important optimization related problems on metric space in terms of the types of variational convergence are equilibrium problems, and multiobjective optimization. When we applied to the finite dimensional case, some of our results improve known one.

The purpose of this paper is to combine and extend some recent fixed point results of Suzuki, T., [A new type of fixed point theorem in metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal., 71 (2009), 5313–5317] and Secelean, N. A. & Wardowski, D., [ψF-contractions: not necessarily nonexpansive Picard operators, Results Math., 70 (2016), 415–431]. The continuity and the completeness conditions are replaced by orbitally continuity and orbitally completeness respectively. It is given an illustrative example of a Picard operator on a non complete metric space which is neither nonexpansive nor expansive and has a unique continuity point.

In this note, we provide the definition of a metric space and establish that, while all Euclidean spaces are metric spaces, not all metric spaces are Euclidean spaces. It is then natural and interesting to ask which theorems that hold in Euclidean spaces can be extended to general metric spaces and which ones cannot be extended. We survey this topic by considering six well-known theorems which hold in Euclidean spaces and rigorously exploring their validities in general metric spaces.

In 1980. Fisher in [Fisher, B., Results on common fixed points on complete metric spaces, Glasgow Math. J., 21 (1980), 165–167] proved very interesting fixed point result for the pair of maps. In 1996. Kada, Suzuki and Takahashi introduced and studied the concept of w–distance in fixed point theory. In this paper, we generalize Fisher’s result for pair of mappings on metric space to complete metric space with w–distance. The obtained results do not require the continuity of maps, but more relaxing condition (C; k). As a corollary we obtain a result of Chatterjea.

In this paper we discuss the existence of an are of minimal length joining two arbitrary, yet fixed points in a complete metric space, where the metric is restricted only by the properties (A) and (B) given below. It is shown that under these conditions an arc of least length joining any two fixed points exists, and is unique. In addition, its length is shown to be equal to the metrie distance between the points.
