A generalized contraction principle with control functions on partial metric spaces.
(English)
[J] Comput. Math. Appl. 63, No. 3, 716-719 (2012). ISSN 0898-1221

Summary: Partial metric spaces were introduced by {\it S. G. Matthews} [in: Papers on general topology and applications. Papers from the 8th summer conference at Queens College, New York, NY, USA, June 18--20, 1992. New York, NY: The New York Academy of Sciences. Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 728, 183--197 (1994; Zbl 0911.54025)] as a part of the study of denotational semantics of data flow networks. We prove a generalized contraction principle with control functions $\varphi$ and $\psi$ on partial metric spaces. The theorems we prove generalize many previously obtained results. We also give some examples showing that our theorems are indeed proper extensions.
