Fixed points of generalized contractions on O-metric spaces

Abstract

The class of O-metric spaces generalize several existing metric-types in literature including metric spaces, b-metric spaces, and ultra metric spaces. In this paper, we discuss the properties of the topology induced by an O-metric and establish in the setting, fixed point theorems of contractions and generalized contractions. The proofs of the theorems rely heavily on polygon O-inequalities which are a natural generalization of the triangle inequality, and the construction of which leads to the notion of O-series following a pattern of functions.
