TY - JOUR T1 - Modulative Categories and Fixed Point Theorems on Modulative Metric Spaces AU - Uyanık Ekici, Elif AU - Gürdal, Utku AU - Çetin, Selim PY - 2025 DA - October Y2 - 2025 DO - 10.15672/hujms.1643663 JF - Hacettepe Journal of Mathematics and Statistics PB - Hacettepe University WT - DergiPark SN - 2651-477X SP - 1 EP - 21 LA - en AB - In terms of enriched category theory, we obtain a categorical explanation of the concept of modular metric spaces, similar to the case of Lawvere metric spaces. To this end, we introduce a generalization of categories that we call modulative categories, and as an extension of this, we define a new concept of modulative metric spaces along with several other notions. We obtain some results on modulative metric spaces and modulative categories, and illustrate them with examples. Finally, we develop a theory of convergence in modulative metric spaces and generalize some fixed-point theorems to demonstrate the applicability of the results obtained.
