Banach’s fixed point theorem for partial metric spaces. (English) Zbl 1080.54030
Summary: In 1994, S. G. Matthews introduced the notion of a partial metric space and obtained, among other results, a Banach contraction mapping for these spaces. Later on, S. J. O’Neill generalized Matthews’ notion of partial metric, in order to establish connections between these structures and the topological aspects of domain theory. Here, we obtain a Banach fixed point theorem for complete partial metric spaces in the sense of O’Neill. Thus, Matthews’ fixed point theorem follows as a special case of our result.
