Hyperconvexity in partial metric spaces: challenges and outlooks
arXiv:2601.02279v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: In this article, we present several different ways to define hyperconvexity in partial metric spaces. In particular, we show that the analogue of the Aronszajn--Panitchpakdi notion of hyperconvexity fails to exhibit certain key properties present in the classical metr...
