On $\star$-metric spaces

Abstract

Metric spaces are generalized by many scholars. Recently, Khatami and Mirzavaziri use a mapping called $t$-definer to popularize the triangle inequality and give a generalization of the notion of a metric, which is called a $\star$-metric. In this paper, we prove that every $\star$-metric space is metrizable. Also, we study the total boundedness and completeness of $\star$-metric spaces.
