Abstract
In [Fuzzy Sets and Systems 27 (1988) 385-389], M. Grabiec in-
troduced a notion of completeness for fuzzy metric spaces (in the sense of
Kramosil and Michalek) that successfully used to obtain a fuzzy version of Ba-
nachs contraction principle. According to the classical case, one can expect
that a compact fuzzy metric space be complete in Grabiecs sense. We show
here that this is not the case, for which we present an example of a compact
fuzzy metric space that is not complete in Grabiecs sense. On the other hand,
Grabiec used a notion of compactness to obtain a fuzzy version of Edelstein
s contraction principle. We present here a generalized version of Grabiecs
version of the Edelstein xed point theorem and di
erent interesting facts on
the topology of fuzzy metric spaces.
