Mathematical Theory and Modeling www.iiste.orgISSN 2224-5804 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0522 (Online)Vol.2, No.2, 2012 On Generalized Dislocated Quasi Metrics P Sumati Kumari Department of Mathematics, FED – I, K L University, Green fields, Vaddeswaram, A.P, 522502, India. Email:mumy143143143@gmail.comAbstractThe notion of dislocated quasi metric is a generalization of metric that retains, an analogue of the illustriousBanach’s Contraction principle and has useful applications in the semantic analysis of logic programming.In this paper we introduce the concept of generalized dislocated quasi metric space.The purpose of this noteis to study topological properties of a gdq metric, its connection with generalized dislocated metric spaceand to derive some fixed point theorems.Keywords: Generalized dislocated metric, Generalized dislocated quasi metric, Contractive conditions,coincidence point,  -property.Introduction: Pascal Hitzler [1] presented variants of Banach’s Contraction principle for various modifiedforms of a metric space including dislocated metric space and applied them to semantic analysis of logicprograms. In this context Hitzler raised some related questions on the topological aspects of dislocatedmetrics. In this paper we establish the existence of a topology induced by a gdq metric, induce ageneralized dislocated metric (D metric) from a gdq metric and prove that fixed point theorems forgdq metric spaces can be derived from their analogues for D metric spaces . We then prove a D metricversion of Ciric’s fixed point theorem from which a good number of fixed point theorems can be deduced.   Definition 1.1:[2]Let binary operation ◊ : R  R  R satisfies the following conditions: (I) ◊ is Associative and Commutative, (II) ◊ is continuous. Five typical examples are a ◊b a , b }, a ◊ b = a + b , a ◊ b = a b , = max{ ab  a ◊ b = a b + a + b and a ◊ b = for each a , b ∈ R max a, b,1Definition 1.2: [2] The binary operation ◊ is said to satisfy  -property if there exists a positive realnumber  such that a ◊ b ≤  max{ a , b } for every a , b ∈ R . Definition 1.3: Let X be a nonempty set. A generalized dislocated quasi metric (or gdq metric) on X is a function gdq : X 2  R that satisfies the followingconditions for each x, y, z ∈ X .   (1) gdq x , y  0 ,   (2) gdq x , y  0 implies x  y    (3) gdqx , z  ≤ gdq x , y ◊ gdq y, z The pair ( X , gdq ) is called a generalized dislocated quasi metric (or gdq metric) space.If gdq satisfies gdq  x , y   gdq( y, x) also, then gdq is called generalized dislocated metric space.Unless specified otherwise in what follows ( X , gdq ) stands for a gdq metric space. 1

To prove thereverse inclusion, let x  D ( A  B ) , x = gdq lim ( x ) where ( x / α   ) is a net in A  B .  If     such that x  A for α   and α ≥  then ( x /α ≥  ,α   ) is a cofinal subnet of( x /α   ) and lim gdq ( x , x ) = lim gdq ( x , x ) = lim gdq ( x , x )= lim gdq ( x , x )=0        so that x  D ( A ). If no such  exists in  then for every α   , choose β(α)   such that β(α)≥αand x  ( )  B. Then ( x ( ) / α   ) is a cofinal subnet in B of ( x / α   ) andlim gdq ( x ( ) , x )= lim gdq ( x , x )= lim gdq ( x , x ) = lim gdq ( x , x ( ) ) = 0 so that       x  D ( B ).It now follows that D ( A  B )  D ( A )  D ( B ) and hence (iii) holds.

We call( X , gdq ,  ) topological space induced by gdq . We call A  X to be closed if A  A and open if A  .Corollory 1.12: A  X is open (i.e A   ) iff for every x  A there exists   0  V ( x)  AProposition 1.13: Let ( X , gdq ) be a gdq metric space such that ◊ satisfies  -property with   1.If x  X and   0 then V (x) is an open set in ( X , gdq ,  ).Proof: Let y  B (x) and 0  r  min{  d ( x, y) ,   d ( y , x)}.Then B ( y )  B ( x)  A , since z  Br ( y)  min{gdq( y, z ), gdq( z, y)}  r r   gdq( y, z)  r min{  gdq( x, y),   gdq( y , x)}Now gdq( x, z )  gdq( x, y )gdq ( y, z )   max{gdq( x, y ), gdq ( y, z )}  gdq( x, y )  gdq( y, z ) Similarly gdq( z, x)   therefore z  B ( x) Hence V (x) is open.Proposition 1.14: Let ( X , gdq ) be a gdq metric space such that ◊ satisfies  -property with Then( X , gdq ,  ) is a Hausodorff space and first countable.Proof: Suppose x  y we have to find  such that A  ( B ( x)  {x})  ( B ( y) { y})  Since x  y. One of gdq ( x , y ), gdq ( y , x ) is non zero. We may assume gdq ( y , x )>0 Choose   0 such that 2  gdq( y, x) .we show that A  .If z  A and z = y , z  x. z  B (x) .  gdq ( z , x )<  gdq( y, x)  gdq ( y , x )<  < which is a contradiction. 2Similarly if z  y and z  x , z  AIf y  z  x then gdq ( y , x )  gdq ( y , z )  gdq ( z , x )   max{gdq( y, z ), gdq ( z , x)}  gdq( y, z )  gdq( z, x)  2  gdq( y, x) which is a contradiction. Hence A   Hence ( X , gdq ,  ) is a Hausodorff space. 4

And ( X , gdq ) is said to be gdq complete if everygdq Cauchy sequence in X is gdq convergent. Result 1.17: Define D ( x , y )= gdq ( x , y )  gdq ( y , x ), where a  b = a + b, for a , b  R . 1.

• 6. Mathematical Theory and Modeling www.iiste.orgISSN 2224-5804 (Paper) ISSN 2225-0522 (Online)Vol.2, No.2, 2012 TheD metric induced by a gdq metric on a set X is very useful in deriving fixed pointtheorems for self maps on ( X , gdq ) from their analogues for ( X , D ).If a self map f on a gdq metricspace ( X , gdq ) satisfies a contractive inequality gdq( f ( x), f ( y))  gdq ( x, y), Where  gdq is alinear function of { gdq(u, v) /{u, v}  {x, y, f ( x), f ( y)}} then f satisfies the contractive inequalityD( f ( x), f ( y))   D ( x, y) Where  D is obtained by replacing gdq in  gdq by D .B.E Rhodes[4] collected good number of contractive inequalities considered by various authors andestablished implications and nonimplications among them. We consider a few of them here.

If d is a D metric instead of a metric, it is possible that d ( x, x)  0. As such theseimplications hold good in a D metric space as well when “ x  y ” is replaced by “ D( x, y)  0 ”. Moreover all these implications end up with (13). Thus a fixed point theorem for f satisfying the D metricversion of Ciric’s Contraction principal (13) yields fixed point theorem for f satisfying the D metricversion of other inequalities. Moreover d ( x, f ( x)) =0  f (x) = x when d is a metric. However “ f (x) = x ”does notnecessarily imply d ( x, f ( x)) =0 where d is a D metric. We in fact prove the existence of x suchthat D( x, f ( x)) =0 which we call a coincidence point of f .We now prove the following analogue ofCiric’s Contraction principle.2 Main ResultsTheorem 2.1 : Let ( X , D ) be a complete D metric space such that ◊ satisfies  -property with   1 , f a self map on X and 0  h  1 .If for all x, y with D( x, y)  0.

This completes the proof. The D metric version for the contractive inequality (10) in the modified form (**) given below yields the following X , D ) be a complete D metric space such that ◊ satisfies  -property with Theorem2.3 : Let (   1 and f : X  X be a continuous mapping. Assume that there exist non-negative constants a i satisfying a1  a2  a3  2a4  2a5 < 1 such that for each x , y  X with x  y D ( f ( x ), f ( y ))  a1 D ( x , y )  a2 D ( x , f ( x ))  a3 D ( y , f ( y ))  a4 D ( x , f ( y ))  a5 D ( y , f ( x )) -----(**).
