Abstract

In this paper, the concept of \(b_v(s)\)-metric space is introduced as a generalization of metric space, rectangular metric space, b-metric space, rectangular b-metric space and v-generalized metric space. We next give proofs of the Banach and Reich contraction principles in \(b_v(s)\)-metric spaces. Using a new result, we provide short proofs which are different from of the original ones in metric spaces. The results we obtain generalize many known results in fixed point theory. We also provide a solution to an open problem.
