Abstract: In mathematical analysis, diverse generalizations of metric spaces like 2-Metric, D-metric, G-metric, S-
metric, b-metric, Cone metric, and N-cone metric spaces have been studied. Malviya et al. (2012) introduced
N-cone metric spaces, a generalization of cone and S-metric spaces, exploring their properties in fixed-point
theory. This paper extends and revises results from Wang et al. (1984) in this novel context. Theorems and
corollaries demonstrate the uniqueness and existence of fixed points under specified conditions. These
findings enrich the understanding of generalized metric spaces and their applications in mathematical analysis.
1 INTRODUCTION
In the literature of Mathematical Analysis there are
various generalization of metric spaces like as 2-
Metric space (‘Gahler 1963, 1966’), D-metric space
(‘Mustafa Z. and Sims B. [2003, 2006]’), G-metric
Space (‘Dhage B.C., 1992’), S-metric Space (‘Shaban
S. et al., 2012’), b-metric Space (‘Bakhtin, I.A.,
1989’), Cone metric space (‘Huang et al., 2007’) etc.
In 2012, (‘Malviya et al. [accepted in FILOMAT]’)
defined a new structure namely N-cone metric space,
which was the generalization of cone metric space
and S-metric space, and studied various properties
and their applications in fixed point theory. In this
paper we extend and modify the results of (‘Wang et
al., 1984’) in this new setting.
Definition 1.1 (Gahlers 1963, 1966). Let be a
nonempty set. A generalized metric (or 2-metric) on
is a function d:
that satisfies the following
conditions for all .
d 
d
if and only if
d(x, y, z) = d(p{x, y, z}), (symmetry),where p is
permutation function,
d
d(x, y, a) + d(x, a, z) + d(a, y, z) for all
 .
Then the function d is called a 2- metric and the pair
(X, d) is called a 2-metric space.
Definition 1.2 (Mustafa 2003, 2006). Let be a
nonempty set. A - metric on is a function
  that satisfies the following conditions for all
 .






 
for all
 .
Then the function is called an G- metric and the pair
 is called a -metric space.
Definition 1.3 (Sedghi, 2012). Let be a nonempty
set. An -metric on is a function 
 
that satisfies the following conditions for all
 .

if and only if
 
 
Then the function is called an - metric and the pair
 is called an -metric space
Definition 1.4 (Bakhtin, 1989). Let X be a nonempty
set and
1 a given real number. A
function d : X × XR
+
is a -metric on X if, for
all x, y, z X, the following conditions hold:
(1) d(
,
) = 0 if and only if
=
,
(2) d(
,
) = d(
,
),
(3) d(, ) ≤ s [d(, ) +d (, )].
In this case, the pair (X, ) is called a -metric space

Definition 1.5 (Huang and Zhang, 2007). Let X be a
nonempty set and E be the real Banach space.
Suppose the mapping d:X×X→ E satisfies
1.0 d(x, y) for all x, y X and d(x, y) = 0 if and only
if x = y;
2. d(x, y) = d(y, x) for all x, y X;
3. d(x, y) d(x, z) + d(z, y) for all x, y, z X.
Then d is called a cone metric on X and (X, d) is called
a cone metric space.

Since the fixed point of is also fixed point of

a symmetric
-cone metric space. Define a self map

an expansive mapping. If we take then
condition (1.1.5) holds trivially good and is the
unique fixed point of the map .
Remark 2. In Corollary 6, we proved the fixed point
is unique by using only and there is no need of
and , so it extend and unify the Theorem
2 of Wang et al. [10] in
-cone metric space.
