The document introduces the concept of a generalized dislocated quasi metric space (gdq metric space). A gdq metric is a generalization of a metric that satisfies three conditions: it is always nonnegative, equals 0 if and only if points are equal, and satisfies a generalized triangle inequality involving a binary operation. This operation must be associative, commutative, continuous, and satisfy a β-property. Key results proved include: a gdq limit is unique; a point is a gdq limit point of a set if balls around it intersect the set nonempty; the gdq limit points of a set form a topology; and balls defined by a gdq metric are open sets in this topology.

Abstract
The notion of dislocated quasi metric is a generalization of metric that retains, an analogue of the illustrious
Banach’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 note
is to study topological properties of a gdq metric, its connection with generalized dislocated metric space
and 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 modified
forms of a metric space including dislocated metric space and applied them to semantic analysis of logic
programs. In this context Hitzler raised some related questions on the topological aspects of dislocated
metrics.
In this paper we establish the existence of a topology induced by a gdq metric, induce a
generalized dislocated metric (D metric) from a gdq metric and prove that fixed point theorems for
gdq metric spaces can be derived from their analogues for D metric spaces . We then prove a D metric
version 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 real
number 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 following
conditions for each x, y, z ∈ X .
(1) gdq x , y 0 ,
(2) gdq x , y 0 implies x y
(3) gdqx , 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.

Definition 1.4: If ( x / )is a net in X and xX
(x ) gdq converges to x
we say that
and write gdq lim x = x if lim gdq( x x) = lim gdq( x x ) =0 .i.e For each 0 there exists
o such that for all 0 gdq( x, x ) gdq( x , x) .We also call x, gdq limit of
( x ). We introduce the following
Definition 1.5: Let A X . x X is said to be a gdq limit point of A if there exists a net
(x ) in X such that gdq lim x = x.
Notation1.6:Let x X , A X and r >0,We write
D ( A )= {x / x X and x is a gdq limit point of A }.
Br ( x) { y / y X and min{ gdq( x, y), gdq( y, x)} r} and Vr ( x) {x} Br ( x) .
Remark 1.7: gdq lim x = x iff for every 0 there exists 0 such that
x B ( x) if 0
Proposition 1.8: Let ( X , gdq ) be a gdq metric space such that ◊ satisfies -property with 0.
If a net ( x / ) in X gdq converges to x then x is unique.
Proof: Let ( x / ) gdq converges to y and yx
Since ( x / ) gdq converges to x and y then for each 0 there exists 1 , 2 such that
for all 1 gdq( x, x ) gdq( x , x) and 2 gdq( y, x ) gdq( x , y )
From triangular inequality we have, gdq x, y gdq( x, x )gdq( x , y)
max{gdq( x, x ), gdq( x , y)}
max{ , }
Which is a contradiction.
Hence gdq ( x, y )=0 similarly gdq ( y, x )=0
x y
Proposition 1.9: x X is a gdq limit point of A X iff for every r>0 , A B r (x)
Proof: Suppose x D(A) . Then there exists a net ( x / ) in A such that x = gdq lim x .
If r 0 , 0 such that Br (x) A for 0 .
Conversely suppose that for every r >0 Br (x) A .
Then for every positive integer n, there exists x n B 1 ( x) A so that

Theorem 1.10: Let ( X , gdq ) be a gdq metric space such that ◊ satisfies -property with
1 and
A X and B X then
i. D ( A )= if A
ii. D ( A ) D ( B ) if A B
iii. D ( D ( A )) D ( A )
iv. D ( A B )= D ( A ) D ( B )
Proof: (i) and (ii) are clear. That D ( A ) D ( B ) D ( A B ) follows from (ii). To prove the
reverse 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)≥α
and x ( ) B. Then ( x ( ) / α ) is a cofinal subnet in B 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 ( B ).It now follows that D ( A B ) D ( A ) D ( B ) and hence (iii) holds. To prove
(iv)
let x D ( D ( A ) ), x = gdq lim x , x D ( A ) for α , and α ,let ( x ( ) /β (α))
be a net in A Such that x = gdq lim x .For each positive integer i α i such that
1 1
gdq ( x i , x )= gdq ( x , x i )< , and β i ( α i ) gdq ( x i , x i )= gdq ( x i , x i )<

i i i
If we write α i = i i, then { 1, 2 ........ } is directed set with i < j
i
if i j, gdq x i , x gdq( x i , xi )gdq( xi , x)

Closure axioms[6] so that the set { A / A X and AC AC } is a topology on X . 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) A
Proposition 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.

Similarly 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.

If x X then the collection V1 ( x) is base at x .Hence ( X , gdq , ) is first countable.

Remark 1.15: Proposition 1.14 enables us to deal with sequences instead of nets.
Definition 1.16: A sequence {xn } in X is a gdq Cauchy sequence if for every 0 there corresponds
a positive integerN 0 gdq( xn , xm ) or gdq( xm , xn ) whenever n N 0 and m N0
ie min{gdq( xn , xm ) , gdq( xm , xn ) }. And ( X , gdq ) is said to be gdq complete if every
gdq 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. D is a generalized dislocated metric( D metric) on X .
2. For any {x / }in X and x X gdq lim( x ) x D lim( x ) x
3. X is a gdq Complete X is D complete.
Proof:(i) and (ii) are clear.we prove (iii)
Let X is a gdq Complete
Let {xn } be a Cauchy sequence in ( X , D ) and 0 then there exist a positive integer
n0 m, n n0 . lim D( xn , xm )
lim[ gdq( xn xm )gdq( xm xn )]
lim[ gdq( xn xm ) gdq( xm xn )]
min{gdq( xn xm ), gdq( xm xn )}
{xn } is a gdq Cauchy sequence.
Hence convergent.
lim gdq( xn , x) lim gdq( x, xn ) 0
D( xn , x) 0
Hencce X is D complete.
Conversely suppose that,
Let X is D complete.
{xn } be a gdq Cauchy sequence in X and 0 there exist a positive integer n0
Let
min{gdq( xn xm ), gdq( xm xn )}
2
gdq( xn xm ) gdq( xm xn )}
gdq( xn xm )gdq( xm xn )}
D( xn xm )
Hence {xn } be a Cauchy sequence in ( X , D )
there exist x in X D lim xn x lim D( xn x) 0
lim[ gdq( xn x ) gdq( x xn )] 0
lim gdq( xn x ) lim gdq( x xn )] 0
Hence X is gdq D complete.
Remark: As a consequence of 1.17 we can derive a fixed point theorem for gdq metric space if we can
prove the same for D metric space and derive the contractive inequality for D from gdq .

TheD metric induced by a gdq metric on a set X is very useful in deriving fixed point
theorems for self maps on ( X , gdq ) from their analogues for ( X , D ).If a self map f on a gdq metric
space ( X , gdq ) satisfies a contractive inequality gdq( f ( x), f ( y)) gdq ( x, y), Where gdq is a
linear function of { gdq(u, v) /{u, v} {x, y, f ( x), f ( y)}} then f satisfies the contractive inequality
D( 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 and
established implications and nonimplications among them. We consider a few of them here.
Let ( X , d ) be a metric space, x X , y Y , f a self map on X ,

a( x, y), b( x, y), c( x, y), p( x, y), q( x, y), r ( x, y)s( x, y) and t ( x, y) be nonnegative real valued
continuous function on X x X .

B.E Rhoades[4] established the following implications among the above inequalities:
(2) (3) (5) (12) (13)
(2) (4) (5) (12) (13)
(6) (7) (9) (13)
(6) (8) (9) (13)
(6) (10) (11) (12) (13).
If d is a D metric instead of a metric, it is possible that d ( x, x) 0. As such these
implications hold good in a D metric space as well when “ x y ” is replaced by “ D( x, y) 0 ”. More
over all these implications end up with (13). Thus a fixed point theorem for f satisfying the D metric
version of Ciric’s Contraction principal (13) yields fixed point theorem for f satisfying the D metric
version of other inequalities.
Moreover d ( x, f ( x)) =0 f (x) = x when d is a metric. However “ f (x) = x ”does not
necessarily imply d ( x, f ( x)) =0 where d is a D metric. We in fact prove the existence of x such
that D( x, f ( x)) =0 which we call a coincidence point of f .We now prove the following analogue of
Ciric’s Contraction principle.

By continuity of f , lim D( f n1 ( x), f ( z)) 0
Hence D( z, f ( z)) 0, hence z is a coincidence point of f .
Suppose z1 , z 2 are coincidence point of f then
D ( z1 , z1 )= D ( z1 , f ( z1 ) 0, similarly D ( z 2 , z 2 )=0
If D ( z1 , z 2 ) 0. Then by (*),
D ( z1 , z 2 )= D ( f ( z1 ) , f ( z 2 ))
h max{D( z1 , z2 ), D( z1 , f ( z1 ), D( z1 , f ( z2 ) ), D( z2 , f ( z1 ) ), D(z2 ,f (z2 ))}
h D ( z1 , z 2 ) a contradiction
Hence D ( z1 , z 2 )=0.Hence z1 z2 .This completes the proof.
We now prove a fixed point theorem for a self map on a D metric space satisfying the analogue of (12).

iii. D( f ( x), f ( y)) { D( x, f ( y)) D( y, f ( x)) }
Then f has a unique coincidence point.
Proof: Putting y= x in the above and = max { 2 , 20 , 2 } we get
D( f ( x), f ( x)) D( x, f ( x))
Again putting y = f (x) in the above (i) (ii) (iii) yield

If m , n are positive integers such that m > n then we can show that

Hence { f (x) } is a Cauchy sequence in ( X , D) .
Since X is complete, z in X lim f (x) = z

Since f is continuous, lim f ( x) = f ( z) in ( X , D).
sin ce 0 D( z , f ( z )) D( z , f n 1 ( x)) D( f n 1 ( x), f ( z ))
max{D( z , f n 1 ( x)), D( f n 1 ( x), f ( z ))}
D( z , f n 1 ( x)) D( f n 1 ( x), f ( z ))
D( z , f ( z )) =0 , Hence z is a Coincidence point of f .
It follows that
Uniqueness : If z1 , z 2 are coincidence points of f then by hypothesis,
Either D ( z1 , z 2 ) D ( z1 , z 2 ) or 0 or 2 D ( z1 , z 2 )

Since 0 and 0 we must have D ( z1 , z 2 )=0

Hence z1 z 2 . 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
