Fixed points for \(E\)-asymptotic contractions and Boyd-Wong type \(E\)-contractions in uniform spaces (Q469122)

The authors present some fixed point theorem for generalized contractions in uniform spaces equipped with an \(E\)-distance. These results are in connection with some results given by \textit{D. W. Boyd} and \textit{J. S. W. Wong} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 20, 458--464 (1969; Zbl 0175.44903)] and \textit{W. A. Kirk} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 277, No.~2, 645--650 (2003; Zbl 1022.47036)].
