WEAKLY PICARD OPERATORS: EQUIVALENT DEFINITIONS, APPLICATIONS AND OPEN PROBLEMS

The purpose of this paper is to present several characterizations for the concept of weakly Picard operator in K-metric spaces. Some new characterizations and applications, as well as, several open questions are also discussed.
