The Banach contraction principle, which shows that every contractive
mapping has a unique fixed point in a complete metric space, has been
extended in many directions. One of the branches of this theory is devoted to
the study of fixed points. Especially, Fixed point theory in C
∗
- algebra valued
metric spaces has greatly developed in recent times. Also, we study on
generalized C
∗
- algebra valued metric space and give some examples, the
idea of this metric is to replace the set of real numbers by the positive cone
C
∗
- algebras, the set of positive elements on the C
∗
- algebras the notation
introduced recently. Also, we prove certain fixed-point theorem for a single-
valued mapping in such spaces. The mapping we consider here is assumed to
satisfy certain D-metric conditions with generalized fixed-point theorem.
Moreover, the paper provides an application to prove the existence and
uniqueness of fixed points.

1. Introduction
* The study of fixed points of mappings satisfying
certain contractive conditions has got big
importance. The notion of D-metric space is a
generalization of usual metric spaces. Dhage (1992)
introduced the notion of generalized metric and
claimed that D-metric convergence define a
Hausdorff topology and that D -metric is sequentially
continuous in all the three variables (Dhage, 1992;
1999). Then, many of authors generalized Dhages
contractive proved the existence of unique fixed
point of a self map in generalized metric.
El-Sayed et al. (2014) introduced the concept of
quaternion metric spaces which generalizes both
real and complex metric spaces and proved the fixed
point theorem in normal cone metric spaces for four
self-maps satisfying a general contraction condition.
Huang and Zhang (2007) reviewed cone metric
spaces. Rezapour and Hamlbarani (2008) obtained
generalizations of the results for metric spaces and
fixed point theorems of contractive mappings by
providing non-normal cones and omitting the
assumption of normality. Ma and Jiang (2015)

established the notion of C
∗
- algebra valued metric
spaces, and proved some fixed point theorems for
contractive and expansive mappings. Ma and Jiang
(2015) introduced a concept of C
∗
- algebra-valued b
metric spaces which generalizes the concept of C
∗
-
algebra valued metric spaces. They also proved the
existence and uniqueness results for a type of
operator equation and an integral equation were
given. For more details and basic definitions of the
fixed point theory and C
∗
- algebra we refer
(Blackadar, 1986; Davidson, 1996; Gelfand and
Neumark, 1943; Murphy, 1990; Pedersen, 1979).
Besides, Özer and Omran (2016) have
demonestrated the existence and uniqwness of the
common fixed point theorem for self maps in C
∗
-
algebra-valued b metric space.
This work is motivated by the recent works on
generalized metric spaces and C
∗
- algebra. In this
paper, we introduce the notion of generalized metric
space in the C
∗
- algebra valued metric space. Our
results can be used to investigate a large class of
nonlinear problems. As an application, we discuss
the existence and uniqueness for fixed point.
