DISCUSSION ON THE EQUIVALENCE OF <i>W</i>-DISTANCES WITH Ω-DISTANCES

Abstract

In this manuscript, we study some relationships between w-distances on metric spaces and Omega-distances on G*-metric spaces. Concretely we show that the class of all w-distances on metric spaces is a subclass of all Omega-distances on G*-metric spaces. Then, researchers must be careful because some recent results about w-distances (for instances, in the topic of fixed point theory) can be seen as simple consequences of their corresponding results about Omega-distances. In this sense, we show how to translate some results between different metric models.
