The near vector space in which the additive inverse element does not necessarily exist is introduced in this paper. The reason is that an element in a near vector space which subtracts itself may not be a zero element. Therefore, the concept of a null set is introduced in this paper to play the role of a zero element. A near vector space can also be endowed with a norm to define a so-called near normed space. Based on this norm, the concept of a Cauchy sequence can be similarly defined. A near Banach space can also be defined according to the concept of completeness using the Cauchy sequences. The main aim of this paper is to establish the so-called near fixed point theorems and Meir-Keeler type of near fixed point theorems in near Banach spaces.
