Abstract

Our aim in this article is to show that all metric fixed point theorems hold for quasi-metric spaces (X, δ) (without symmetry). In fact, we show some well-known theorems on metric spaces hold for quasi-metric spaces from the beginning. We check this fact for the Banach contraction principle, the Covitz-Nadler fixed point theorem, the Rus-Hicks-Rhoades fixed point theorem, and others. In
these theorems the concepts of continuity and completeness can be replaced by orbital continuity and T-orbital completeness for a selfmap T, respectively.Consequently, we improve and generalize the basic known theorems in the metric fixed point theory.
