Function valued metric spaces
Journal Title: Surveys in Mathematics and its Applications - Year 2010, Vol 5, Issue 0
Abstract
In this paper we introduce the notion of an &#8497;-metric, as a function valued distance mapping, on a set X and we investigate the theory of &#8497;-metrics paces. We show that every metric space may be viewed as an &#8497;-metric space and every &#8497;-metric space (X,δ) can be regarded as a topological space (X,τ<SUB>δ</SUB>). In addition, we prove that the category of the so-called extended &#8497;-metric spaces properly contains the category of metric spaces. We also introduce the concept of an <FONT FACE="Symbol">`</FONT>&#8497;-metric space as a completion of an &#8497;-metric space and, as an application to topology, we prove that each normal topological space is <FONT FACE="Symbol">`</FONT>&#8497;-metrizable.

A Functional Calculus for Quotient Bounded Operators
If <I>(X, P)</I> is a sequentially locally convex space, then a quotient bounded operator <I>T</I> beloging to <I>Q<SUB>P</SUB></I> is regular (in the sense of Waelbroeck)...
Some fixed point results in Menger spaces using a control function
Here we prove a probabilistic contraction mapping principle in Menger spaces. This is in line with research in fixed point theory using control functions which was initiated by Khan et al. [Bull. Austral. Math. Soc., 30(...
Ridge regression estimator: combining unbiased and ordinary ridge regression methods of estimation
Statistical literature has several methods for coping with multicollinearity. This paper introduces a new shrinkage estimator, called modified unbiased ridge (MUR). This estimator is obtained from unbiased ridge regressi...
Multivalued Perov-type theorems in generalized metric spaces
In this paper we present some fixed point results for multivalued operators, which extend the ones given by A.I. Perov and A.V. Kribenko, as well as some recent contributions due to A. Bucur, L. Guran and A. Petruşel.
On the Spectrum of a Morphism of Quotient Hilbert Spaces
In this paper we define the notion of spectrum for a morphism of quotient Hilbert spaces. The definition is the same with the one given by L.Waelbroeck but the proofs that the spectrum is a compact and nonempty set are d...
