ON EXTENDED b-METRIC SPACES: RELAXING COMPLETENESS CRITERION AND EXPLORING BEHAVIOR
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.5281/ms6afe94Abstract
In this study, we demonstrate that fixed points can occur in extended b-metric spaces that are not necessarily complete. We must employ
a novel form of contraction conditions in order to relax the completeness criterion. It has been investigated how fixed points behave in both partially
complete and orbitally complete spaces. We provide some instances to highlight our findings.
