Abstract

Partial metric spaces were introduced by Matthews in 1994 as a part of the study of denotational semantics of data flow networks. In 2014 Asadi and {\it et al.} [New Extension of $p$-Metric Spaces with Some fixed point Results on $M$-metric paces, J. Ineq. Appl. 2014 (2014): 18] extend the Partial metric spaces to $M$-metric spaces. In this work, we introduce the class of $F(\psi,\varphi)$-contractions and investigate the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for the new class $\mathcal{C}$ in the setting of $M$-metric spaces. The theorems that we prove generalize many previously obtained results. We also give some examples showing that our theorems are indeed proper extensions.
