On the Structure of Metric-like Spaces

Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce several concepts of the metric-like spaces. For instance, we define concepts such as equal-like points, cluster points and completely separate points. Furthermore, this paper is an attempt to present compatibility definitions for the distance between a point and a subset of a metric-like space and also for the distance between two subsets of a metric-like space. In this study, we define the diameter of a subset of a metric-like space, and then we provide a definition for bounded subsets of a metric-like space. In line with the aforementioned issues, various examples are provided to better understand this space.
