Quasisymmetric mappings in b-metric spaces

TL;DR
The paper extends the theory of quasisymmetric mappings to b-metric and additive metric spaces. It proves a Tukia–Vaisala type diameter-distortion inequality in the b-metric setting, establishing both forward and inverse distortion bounds with coefficients K1 and K2, and derives corollaries linking these bounds to a functional inequality. It then gives sufficient conditions on the distortion function η under which an η-quasisymmetry preserves the b-metric structure, including concrete results for common choices such as power-type η. Finally, it identifies conditions under which additive metrics are preserved by quasisymmetries, providing a criterion that includes the special case η(t)=t. These results advance understanding of distortion and structural preservation in non-metric spaces.
Abstract
Considering quasisymmetric mappings between b-metric spaces we have found a new estimation for the ratio of diameters of two subsets which are images of two bounded subsets. This result generalizes the well-known Tukia-Väisälä inequality. The condition under which the image of a b-metric space under quasisymmetry is also a b-metric space is established. Moreover, the latter question is investigated for additive metric spaces.
