Abstract:
In the famous theorem of Arutyunov,
it is asserted that the mappings $\psi,\varphi,$ acting from the complete metric space $(X, \rho_X)$ to the metric space $(Y, \rho_Y)$,
one of which is $\alpha$-covering and the second is $\beta$-Lipschitz,
$\alpha > \beta,$ have the coincidence point is the solution of the equation $\psi(x)=\varphi(x).$
We show that this assertion remains valid also in the case when the space $Y$ is not metric it is sufficient that the function $\rho_{Y}:Y^{2} \to \mathbb{R_{+}}$ satisfies only the axiom of identity.
The function $\rho_{Y}$ may not be symmetric and does not correspond to the triangle inequality; moreover,
it does not have to satisfy the $f$-triangle inequality (that is, it is possible that the space
$Y$ is not even $f$-quasimetric).
Keywords:coincidence point, metric space, covering mapping, Lipschitz mapping.
