Graphical metric space: a generalized setting in fixed point theory (Q2412808)

The authors establish fixed point theorems for some graphical contractions in the setting of a graphical metric space \((X,d_G)\), introduced in this paper. A graphical metric space is a generalized metric space obtained by weakening the triangle inequality, which is required to be satisfied not for all \(x,y\in X\) but for the points situated on some path included in the graphical structure associated with the space. Reviewer's remark: Axiom ``(GM4) \((xPy)_G\), \(z\in (xPy)_G\) implies \(d_G(x,y)\leq d_G(x,z)+d_G(z,y)\) for all \(x,y,z\in X\)'' should be better written as ``(GM4) \(z\in (xPy)_G\) implies \(d_G(x,y)\leq d_G(x,z)+d_G(z,y).\)''
