A Fixed Point Theorem and the Ulam Stability in Generalized Dq-Metric Spaces

Abstract

We prove a fixed point theorem for function spaces, that is a very efficient and convenient tool for the investigations of various operator inequalities connected to Ulam stability issues, in classes of functions taking values in various spaces (e.g., in ultrametric spaces, dq-metric spaces, quasi-Banach spaces, and p-Banach spaces). The theorem is a natural generalization and extension of the classical Banach Contraction Principle and some other more recent results. (C) 2018 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
