Meir-Keeler contractions of integral type are still Meir-Keeler contractions.
In this paper, we prove that a mapping on a metric space is contractive with respect to a -distance if and only if it is Kannan with respect to a -distance.
In order to observe the condition of Kannan mappings more deeply, we prove a generalization of Kannan’s fixed point theorem.
We prove that every 3-generalized metric space is metrizable. We also show that for any ʋ with ʋ ≥ 4, not every ʋ-generalized metric space has a compatible symmetric topology.
