Generalized triangle inequality in b-metric spaces

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion focuses on the generalized triangle inequality in b-metric spaces, exploring its formulation and implications. Participants inquire about specific cases and seek validation of their findings related to the inequality's expression for sequences indexed by n and m.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks for opinions on the generalized triangle inequality in b-metric spaces, specifically for indices n and m where m > n.
  • Another participant proposes a specific case where m = n + 3 and presents a formulation of the inequality involving a b-metric, suggesting a proof by induction for a general case.
  • A third participant questions the validity of a proposed inequality involving sums of distances in the b-metric, seeking confirmation of its correctness.
  • A later reply suggests a correction to a potential typo in the indices of the proposed inequality, indicating a different interpretation of the terms involved.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express uncertainty regarding the correctness of the proposed inequalities and formulations. There is no consensus on the validity of the claims made, and multiple interpretations of the inequalities are present.

Contextual Notes

Participants rely on specific assumptions about the properties of b-metrics and the indices used in their formulations, which may not be universally agreed upon. The discussion includes potential typographical errors that affect the interpretation of the inequalities.

How is the generalized triangle inequality in b-metric spaces ? I find something...But I wonder your opinion...Thank you for your attention...

Especially if you write for n,m>0 m>n $d({x}_{n},{x}_{m})$$\le$..... I will be happy...

Suppose $m=n+3,$ and $d$ a $b-$metric. Then you'll easily prove
$$d(x_n,x_{n+3})\le\ldots\le sd(x_n,x_{n+1})+s^2d(x_{n+1},x_{n+2})+s^2d(x_{n+2},x_{n+3}).$$ But $s\ge 1\Rightarrow s^3\ge s^2,$ so we can write
$$d(x_n,x_{n+3})\le\ldots\le sd(x_n,x_{n+1})+s^2d(x_{n+1},x_{n+2})+s^3d(x_{n+2},x_{n+3}).$$ Now, you can find a simple formula for a generic $m>n,$ easily proved by inducction.
 
Dear professor

I find this...İs this true ?

$d\left({x}_{n},{x}_{m}\right)$$\le$$sd\left({x}_{n},{x}_{n+1}\right)$+${s}^{2}d\left({x}_{n+1},{x}_{n+2}\right)$+...+${s}^{n-m}d\left({x}_{m-1},{x}_{m}\right)$

It should be (I suppose your $n-m$ is a typo): $$d\left({x}_{n},{x}_{m}\right)\le sd\left({x}_{n},{x}_{n+1}\right)+{s}^{2}d\left({x}_{n+1},{x}_{n+2}\right)+\cdots+{s}^{m-n}d\left({x}_{m-1},{x}_{m}\right).$$
