Generalized distances and their associate metrics. Impact on fixed point theory
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the last years there is an abundance of fixed point theorems in literature, most of them established in various generalized metric spaces. Amongst the generalized spaces considered in those papers, we may find: cone metric spaces, quasimetric spaces (or b-metric spaces), partial metric spaces, G-metric spaces etc. In some recent papers [Haghi, R. H., Rezapour, Sh. and Shahzad, N., Some fixed point generalizations are not real generalizations, Nonlinear Anal., 74 (2011), 1799-1803], [Haghi, R. H., Rezapour, Sh. and Shahzad, N., Be careful on partial metric fixed point results, Topology Appl., 160 (2013), 450-454], [Samet, B., Vetro, C. and Vetro, F., Remarks on G-Metric Spaces, Int. J. Anal., Volume 2013, Article ID 917158, 6 pages http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/917158], the authors pointed out that some of the fixed point theorems transposed from metric spaces to cone metric spaces, partial metric spaces or G-metric spaces, respectively, are sometimes not real generalizations. The main aim of the present note is to inspect what happens in this respect with b-metric spaces.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
