On the scalarization method in cone metric spaces (Q2253916)

It is proved that the scalarization methods used in [\textit{W.-S. Du}, Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl., Ser. A, Theory Methods 72, No. 5, 2259--2261 (2010; Zbl 1205.54040)] and [\textit{A. Amini-Harandi} and \textit{M. Fakhar}, Comput. Math. Appl. 59, No. 11, 3529--3534 (2010; Zbl 1197.54055)] produce equivalent metrics on the given topological vector space valued cone metric space. Hence, the consequences thus obtained are essentially equivalent.
