Metric or partial metric spaces endowed with a finite number of graphs: A tool to obtain fixed point results

Abstract

We give some fixed point theorems in the setting of metric spaces or partial metric spaces endowed with a finite number of graphs. The presented results extend and improve several well-known results in the literature. In particular, we discuss a Caristi type fixed point theorem in the setting of partial metric spaces, which has a close relation to Ekelandʼs principle.
