    Θ-Metric Space: a Generalization
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2013) Khojasteh, Farshid; Karapınar, Erdal; Karapinar, Erdal; Radenovic, Stojan; Karapınar, Erdal; Mathematics; Mathematics
    We introduce the notion of theta-metric as a generalization of a metric by replacing the triangle inequality with a more generalized inequality. We investigate the topology of the spaces induced by a theta-metric and present some essential properties of it. Further, we give characterization of well-known fixed point theorems, such as the Banach and Caristi types in the context of such spaces.

    Discussion on the Equivalence of W-Distances With Ω-Distances
    (Yokohama Publications, 2015) Roldán-López-De-Hierro,A.-F.; Karapınar, Erdal; Karapinar,E.; Karapınar, Erdal; Mathematics; Mathematics
    In this manuscript, we study some relationships between w-distances on metric spaces and Ω-distances on G*-metric spaces. Concretely we show that the class of all w-distances on metric spaces is a subclass of all Ω-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 Ω-distances. In this sense, we show how to translate some results between different metric models. © 2015.

    Fixed Point Theory for Cyclic (j - Ψ)-Contractions
    (2014) Karapınar, Erdal; Sadaranganı, Kishin
    In this article, the concept of cyclic (j - ψ)-contraction and a fixed point theorem for this type of mappings in the context of complete metric spaces have been presented. The results of this study extend some fixed point theorems in literature.

    Fixed Point Theorems in New Generalized Metric Spaces
    (Springer Basel Ag, 2016) Karapinar, Erdal; Karapınar, Erdal; O'Regan, Donal; Roldan Lopez de Hierro, Antonio Francisco; Shahzad, Naseer; Karapınar, Erdal; Mathematics; Mathematics
    The aim of our paper is to present new fixed point theorems under very general contractive conditions in generalized metric spaces which were recently introduced by Jleli and Samet in [Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2015 (2015), doi:10.1186/s13663-015-0312-7]. Although these spaces are not endowed with a triangle inequality, these spaces extend some well known abstract metric spaces (for example, b-metric spaces, Hitzler-Seda metric spaces, modular spaces with the Fatou property, etc.). We handle several types of contractive conditions. The main theorems we present involve a reflexive and transitive binary relation that is not necessarily a partial order. We give a counterexample to a recent fixed point result of Jleli and Samet. Our results extend and unify recent results in the context of partially ordered abstract metric spaces.

    A Common Fixed Point Theorem for Cyclic Operators on Partial Metric Spaces
    (Univ Nis, Fac Sci Math, 2012) Karapinar, Erdal; Karapınar, Erdal; Shobkolaei, Nabi; Sedghi, Shaban; Vaezpour, S. Mansour; Karapınar, Erdal; Mathematics; Mathematics
    In this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem for two self-mappings satisfying certain conditions over the class of partial metric spaces. In particular, the main theorem of this manuscript extends some well-known fixed point theorems in the literature on this topic.

    A Fixed Point Theorem for Set-Valued Quasi-Contractions in B-Metric Space
    (2014) Karapınar, Erdal; Aydı, Hassen; Bota, Monica-felicia; Mıtrovıć, Slobodanka
    In this article, we give a fixed point theorem for set-valued quasi-contraction maps in b-metric spaces. This theorem extends, unifies and generalizes several well known comparable results in the existing literature.

    Coupled Coincidence Points for Mixed Monotone Operators in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2012) Karapinar, Erdal; Karapınar, Erdal; Van Luong, Nguyen; Thuan, Nguyen Xuan; Karapınar, Erdal; Mathematics; Mathematics
    In this paper, we give and prove some coupled coincidence point theorems for mappings F : X x X -> X and g : X -> X in partially ordered metric space X, where F has the mixed g-monotone property. Our results improve and generalize the results of Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham (Nonlinear Anal TMA 65: 1379-1393, 2006), Luong and Thuan (Bull Math Anal Appl 2(4): 16-24, 2010), Harjani et al. (Nonlinear Anal 74: 1749-1760, 2011) and Choudhury et al. (Ann Univ Ferrara 57: 1-16, 2011). We also give some examples to illustrate our results.

    Edelstein Type Fixed Point Theorems
    (Tusi Mathematical Research Group, 2011) Karapinar,E.; Karapınar, Erdal; Karapınar, Erdal; Mathematics; Mathematics
    Recently, Suzuki [Nonlinear Anal. 71 (2009), no. 11, 5313-5317.] published a paper on which Edelstein’s fixed theorem was generalized. In this manuscript, we give some theorems which are the generalization of the fixed theorem of Suzuki’s Theorems and thus Edelstein’s result [J. London Math. Soc. 37 (1962), 74-79]. © 2011, Duke University Press. All rights reserved.

    Fixed Point Theory for Cyclic Weak Φ-Contraction
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Karapinar, Erdal; Karapınar, Erdal; Karapınar, Erdal; Mathematics; Mathematics
    In this manuscript, the notion of cyclic weak phi-contraction is considered. It is shown that a self-mapping T on a complete metric space X has a fixed point if it satisfied cyclic weak phi-contraction. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

    Remarks on Some Coupled Fixed Point Theorems in G-Metric Spaces
    (2014) Agarwal, Ravi P.; Karapınar, Erdal
    In this paper, we show that, unexpectedly, most of the coupled fixed point theorems in the context of (ordered) G-metric spaces are in fact immediate consequences of usual fixed point theorems that are either well known in the literature or can be obtained easily.
