Fixed points and completeness on partial metric spaces

Abstract

Recently, Suzuki [T. Suzuki, A generalized Banach contraction principle that characterizes metric completeness, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 136 (2008), 1861-1869] proved a fixed point theorem that is a generalization of the Banach contraction principle and characterizes the metric completeness. Paesano and Vetro [D. Paesano and P. Vetro, Suzuki's type characterizations of completeness for partial metric spaces and fixed points for partially ordered metric spaces, Topology Appl., \textbf{159} (2012), 911-920] proved an analogous fixed point result for a self-mapping on a partial metric space that characterizes the partial metric 0-completeness. In this paper we prove a fixed point result for a new class of contractions on a partial metric space of Berinde-Suzuki type. Moreover, using our results, as application we obtain a new characterization of partial metric 0-completeness.
