Description

Complete ultrametric spaces constitute a particular class of the so called, recently, G-complete metric spaces. In this paper we characterize a more general class called weak G-complete metric spaces, by means of nested sequences of closed sets. Then, we also state a general fixed point theorem for a self-mapping of a weak G-complete metric space. As a corollary, every asymptotically regular self-mapping of a weak G-Complete metric space has a fixed point.
