A note on the equivalence of some metric and cone metric fixed point results (Q619845)

Let \(E\) be a Hausdorff topological vector space and \(K\) be a proper closed convex cone of it, with nonempty interior. The following is the main result of the paper: Theorem. Let \((X,d)\) be a \(K\)-metric space. Take \(e\in \text{int}(K)\) and let \(q_e\) be the Minkowski functional of \([-e.e]\). Then i) \(d_q:=q_e\circ d\) is a standard metric on \(X\), ii) \(d(x_1,y_1)\leq d(x_2,y_2)\) \(\Rightarrow\) \(d_q(x_1,y_1)\leq d_q(x_2,y_2)\). As a consequence, most of the fixed point results for \(K\)-metric spaces are deductible from their standard versions (\(K=\mathbb R_+\)).
