    g-metric Spaces in Any Number of Arguments and Related Fixed-Point Theorems
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2014) Roldan, Antonio; Karapinar, Erdal; Kumam, Poom
    Inspired by the notion of Mustafa and Sims' G-metric space and the attention that this kind of metric has received in recent times, we introduce the concept of a G-metric space in any number of variables, and we study some of the basic properties. Then we prove that the family of this kind of metric is closed under finite products. Finally, we show some fixed-point theorems that improve and extend some well-known results in this field.

    Generalized Alpha-Psi Type Mappings of Integral Type and Related Fixed Point Theorems
    (Springer, 2014) Karapinar, Erdal; Shahi, Priya; Tas, Kenan
    The aim of this paper is to introduce two classes of generalized alpha-psi-contractive type mappings of integral type and to analyze the existence of fixed points for these mappings in complete metric spaces. Our results are improved versions of a multitude of relevant fixed point theorems of the existing literature.

    Fixed Point Theorems for Generalized Contractions on gp-metric Spaces
    (Springeropen, 2013) Bilgili, Nurcan; Karapinar, Erdal; Salimi, Peyman
    In this paper, we present two fixed point theorems on mappings, defined on GP-complete GP-metric spaces, which satisfy a generalized contraction property determined by certain upper semi-continuous functions. Furthermore, we illustrate applications of our theorems with a number of examples. Inspired by the work of Jachymski, we also establish equivalences of certain auxiliary maps in the context of GP-complete GP-metric spaces. MSC: 47H10, 54H25.

    Further Fixed Point Results on g-metric Spaces
    (Springer int Publ Ag, 2013) Karapinar, Erdal; Agarwal, Ravi P.
    Very recently, Samet et al. (Int. J. Anal. 2013: 917158, 2013) and Jleli-Samet (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012: 210, 2012) noticed that some fixed point theorems in the context of a G-metric space can be deduced by some well-known results in the literature in the setting of a usual (quasi) metric space. In this paper, we note that the approach of Samet et al. (Int. J. Anal. 2013: 917158, 2013) and Jleli-Samet (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012: 210, 2012) is inapplicable unless the contraction condition in the statement of the theorem can be reduced into two variables. For this purpose, we modify some existing results to suggest new fixed point theorems that fit with the nature of a G-metric space. The expressions in our result, the contraction condition, cannot be expressed in two variables, therefore the techniques used in (Int. J. Anal. 2013: 917158, 2013; Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012: 210, 2012) are not applicable.

    A Discussion on "α-Ψ Contraction Type Mappings "
    (Univ Nis, Fac Sci Math, 2014) Karapinar, Erdal
    In this paper we discuss the subadditivity property of some auxiliary functions which have been used to generalize the contractive conditions on maps. Our results show that this property is not required in many cases and therefore, can be removed. We emphasize that in several papers (see e.g.[1]-[11]) dealing with such contraction mappings, the hypotheses of the main theorems can be restated in the light of our results.

    On Some Fixed Point Results in Extended Strong b-spaces
    (int Center Scientific Research & Studies, 2018) Alqahtani, Badr; Karapinar, Erdal; Khojasteh, Farshid
    In this paper, we propose a notion of a strong extended b-metric space and investigate the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point of certain operators.

    Some Integral Type Common Fixed Point Theorems Satisfying Φ-Contractive Conditions
    (Belgian Mathematical Soc Triomphe, 2014) Chauhan, Sunny; Karapinar, Erdal
    In this manuscript, we obtain some common fixed point results of two pairs having the common limit range property in the setting of integral type contraction in the framework of symmetric (semi-metric) spaces. Moreover, we extend our results from two pairs of self-mappings to four finite families of self mappings to get common fixed points. Our results improve and extend a host of previously known results. Further, we establish some illustrative examples to show the validity of the main results.

    Contractive Multivalued Maps in Terms of q-functions on Complete Quasimetric Spaces
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2014) Karapinar, Erdal; Romaguera, Salvador; Tirado, Pedro
    In this paper we prove the existence of a fixed point for multivalued maps satisfying a contraction condition in terms of Q-functions, and via Bianchini-Grandolfi gauge functions, for complete T-0-quasipseudometric spaces. Our results extend, improve, and generalize some recent results in the literature. We present some examples to validate and illustrate our results.

    Interpolative Reich-Rus Type Contractions on Partial Metric Spaces
    (Mdpi, 2018) Karapinar, Erdal; Agarwal, Ravi; Aydi, Hassen
    By giving a counter-example, we point out a gap in the paper by Karapinar (Adv. Theory Nonlinear Anal. Its Appl. 2018, 2, 85-87) where the given fixed point may be not unique and we present the corrected version. We also state the celebrated fixed point theorem of Reich-Rus-Ciric in the framework of complete partial metric spaces, by taking the interpolation theory into account. Some examples are provided where the main result in papers by Reich (Can. Math. Bull. 1971, 14, 121-124; Boll. Unione Mat. Ital. 1972, 4, 26-42 and Boll. Unione Mat. Ital. 1971, 4, 1-11.) is not applicable.

    On Fixed Point Results for Α-Implicit Contractions in Quasi-Metric Spaces and Consequences
    (inst Mathematics & informatics, 2016) Aydi, Hassen; Jellali, Manel; Karapinar, Erdal
    In this paper, we prove some fixed point results involving alpha-implicit contractions in quasi-metric spaces. Moreover, we provide some known results on G-metric spaces. An example and an application on a solution of a nonlinear integral equation are also presented.
