ON KANNAN FIXED POINT PRINCIPLE IN GENERALIZED METRIC SPACES

Abstract

The concept of a generalized metric space, where the triangle inequality has been replaced by a more general one involving four points, has been recently introduced by Branciari. Subsequently, some classical metric fixed point theorems have been transferred to such a space. The aim of this note is to show that Kannan's fixed point theorem in a generalized metric space is a consequence of the Banach contraction principle in a metric space.
