Dislocated metric space to metric spaces with some fixed point theorems

Abstract

In this paper, we notice the notions metric-like space and dislocated metric space are exactly the same. After this historical remark, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point of a cyclic mapping in the context of metric-like spaces. We consider some examples to illustrate the validity of the derived results of this paper. © 2013 Karapinar and Salimi; licensee Springer.
