Let us recall that a semimetric space (X, d), also often referred to as apseudometric space, is defined exactly like a metric space, except that the condition d(x,y) = 0 for a pair of points x,y [member of] X does not imply that x = y.
Definition 3 ([1]): (see also[1-3,9]) The ordered pair (X,F) is called a probabilistic semimetric space (shortly PSM-space) if X is a nonempty set and F is a probabilistic distance satisfying the following conditions: for all x, y, z [member of] X and t, s> 0, (PM-1) [MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSION NOT REPRODUCIBLE IN ASCII] (PM-2) [F.
