The continuous extension M0 of M to X2x0,+infinity is called extended fuzzy metric. We prove that M0 generates a metrizable topology on X, which can be described in a similar way to a classical metric. M0 can be used for simplifying or improving questions concerning M; in particular, we expose the interest of this kind of fuzzy metrics to obtain generalizations of fixed point theorems given in fuzzy metric spaces.enghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Fuzzy metric spaceFuzzy contractive mappingFixed pointresearch articleAttribution 4.0 International7330310.3390/math7030303Mathematicsopen access2-s2.0-85063877349464350000002
