One-point hyperbolic-type metrics

Marina Borovikova, Zair Ibragimov, Miguel Jimenez Bravo and Alexandro Luna

Vol. 13 (2020), No. 1, 117–136
Abstract

We study basic properties of one-parametric families of the j̃-metric, the scale-invariant Cassinian metric and the half-Apollonian metric on locally compact, noncomplete metric spaces. We first establish basic properties of these metrics on once-punctured general metric spaces and obtain sharp estimates between these metrics, and then we show that all these properties, except for δ-hyperbolicity, extend to the settings of locally compact noncomplete metric spaces. We also show that these metrics are δ-hyperbolic only if the underlying space is a once-punctured metric space.
