The $g$-metric with degree $n$ is a distance of $n+1$ points, generalizing the ordinary distance between two points and $G$-metric between three points. Indeed, it is shown that the $g$-metric with degree 1 (resp. degree 2) is equivalent to the ordinary metric (resp. the $G$-metric). Fundamental properties and several examples for the $g$-metric are also given. Moreover, topological properties on the $g$-metric space including the convergence of sequences and the continuity of mappings on the $g$-metric space are studied. Finally, we generalize some well-known fixed point theorems including Banach contraction mapping principle and \\'Ciri\\'c fixed point theorem in the $g$-metric space.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-04-10T17:53:54.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "47H10", "54H25", "37C25", "54E99" ], "keywords": [ "related fixed point theorems", "metric space", "ciric fixed point theorem", "banach contraction mapping principle", "well-known fixed point theorems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
