Partial metric fixed point theory: mappings with a contractive iterate at a point
Last modified: 2014-02-02
Abstract
In 1994 S.G. Matthews introduced the concept of partial metric
spaces as a generalization of that of metric spaces, in order to
facilitate addressing some problems arising in the study of
denotational semantics of dataflow networks and in the domain theory
of computer science.
We present generalizations of some of the known metric fixed point
results to the context of partial metric spaces.
