On Metric-Type Spaces Based on Extended <i>T</i>-Conorms

Kirk and Shahzad introduced the class of strong b-metric spaces lying between the class of b-metric spaces and the class of metric spaces. As compared with b-metric spaces, strong b-metric spaces have the advantage that open balls are open in the induced topology and, hence, they have many propertie...
