The authors explore fixed-point theory in b-metric spaces and strong b-metric spaces. They wish to prove some new extensions of the Covitz and Nadler fixed-point theorem in b-metric spaces. In so doing, they wish to answer a question proposed by Kirk and Shahzad about Nadler’s theorem holding in strong b-metric spaces. In addition, they offer an improvement to the fixed-point theorem proven by Dontchev and Hager.
