New classes of local almost contractions

Contractions represents the foundation stone of nonlinear analysis. That is the reason why we propose to unify two different type of contractions: almost contractions, introduced by V. Berinde in [2] and local contractions (Martins da Rocha and Filipe Vailakis in [7]). These two types of contractions operate in different space settings: in metric spaces (almost contractions) and semimetric spaces (for local contractions). That new type of contraction was built up in a new space setting, which is the pseudometric space. The main results of this paper represent the extension for various type of operators on pseudometric spaces, such as: generalized ALC, Ćirić-typeALC, quasi ALC, Ćirić-Reich-Rustype ALC. We propose to study the existence and uniqueness of their fixed points, and also the continuity in their fixed points, with a large number of examples for ALC-s.
