An Introduction to Metric Spaces and Fixed Point T heory

An Introduction to Metric Spaces and Fixed Point Theory includes an extensive bibliography and an appendix which provides a complete summary of the concepts of set theory, including Zorn's Lemma, Tychonoff's Theorem, Zermelo's Theorem, and transfinite induction. Detailed coverage of the newest developments in metric spaces and fixed point theory makes this the most modern and complete introduction to the subject available. MOHAMED A.
