Abstract

Scott (1970) [11] introduced qualitative fixed point techniques as a suitable mathematical tool for program verification. Inspired by the fact that the Scott mathematical tools do not include metric implements, Matthews (1994) [8] introduced the concept of partial metric space with the aim of reconciling the Scott fixed point techniques with metric spaces and proved a fixed point theorem for self-mappings in partial metric spaces providing, thus, quantitative techniques useful, in the spirit of Scott, in denotational semantics. Schellekens (1995) [10] showed that the original Scott ideas can be also applied to asymptotic complexity analysis of algorithms via quantitative fixed point techniques for self-mappings in quasi-metric spaces. Later on Cerdà-Uguet et al. (2012) [3] showed that, contrarily to the case of Matthews partial metric spaces, partial quasi-metrics are useful for modeling the algorithmic complexity by means of quantitative fixed point techniques that preserve the Scott ideas and Schellekens techniques concurrently.
