Modulative categories and fixed point theorems on modulative metric spaces
Abstract
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.
