Abstract metric space, fixed point, metric spaces, perturbed metric spaces, self-mappingsAbstract
This survey aims to express different distance functions and consider their relationships, if any. Indeed, in the literature, numerous different and interesting distance functions with distinct properties have been introduced. Presenting and discussing distance functions with their original motivations can open a new window for researchers working in various disciplines. The distance functions mentioned here and the corresponding abstract spaces may offer alternative solutions for the existing problems.
