1 Introduction
A fundamental principle in computer science is iteration. Iterative techniques are used to find roots of equations, solutions of linear and nonlinear systems of equations, and solution of differential equations. So the attraction of the fixed point iteration is understandable to a large number of mathematicians.
The Banach contraction principle (see [1]) is a very popular tool for solving problems in nonlinear analysis. Some authors generalized this interesting theorem in different ways (see for example [2–20]).
Berinde [21–24] initiated the concept of almost contractions and studied many interesting fixed point theorems for a Ćirić strong almost contraction. So, let us recall the following definition.
Definition 1.1. [21] A single valued mapping f : X × X is called a Ćirić strong almost contraction if there exist a constant α ∈ [0, 1) and some L ≥ 0 such that
for all x, y ∈ X, where
Babu [25] introduced the class of mappings which satisfy "condition (B)".
Definition 1.2. [25] Let (X, d) be a metric space. A mapping f : X → X is said to satisfy "condition (B)" if there exist a constant δ ∈ (0, 1) and some L ≥ 0 such that
for all x, y ∈ X.
Moreover, Babu proved in [25] the existence of fixed point theorem for such mappings on complete metric spaces.
Ćirić et al. [26] introduced the concept of almost generalized contractive condition and they proved some existing results.
Definition 1.3. [26] Let (X,≼) be a partially ordered set. Two mappings f, g : X → X are said to be strictly weakly increasing if fx ≺ gfx and gx ≺ fgx, for all x ∈ X.
Definition 1.4. [26] Let f and g be two self mappings on a metric space (X, d). Then they are said to satisfy almost generalized contractive condition if there exist a constant δ ∈ (0, 1) and some L ≥ 0 such that
for all x, y ∈ X.
Then Ćirić et al. [26] proved the following theorems.
Theorem 1.1. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and suppose that there exists a metric d on X such that the metric space (X, d) is complete. Let f : X → X be a strictly increasing continuous mapping with respect to ≼. Suppose that there exist a constant δ ∈ [0, 1) and some L ≥ 0 such that
for all comparable x, y ∈ X, where
If there exists x0 ∈ X such that x0 ≼ fx0, then f has a fixed point in X.
Theorem 1.2. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and suppose that there exists a metric d on X such that the metric space (X, d) is complete. Let f, g : X → X be two strictly weakly increasing mappings which satisfy (1) with respect to ≼, for all comparable elements x, y ∈ X. If either f or g is continuous, then f and g have a common fixed point in X.
Khan et al. [27] introduced the concept of altering distance function as follows.
Definition 1.5. [27] The function ϕ : [0, +∞) → [0, +∞) is called an altering distance function, if the following properties are satisfied:
(1) ϕ is continuous and non-decreasing.
(2) ϕ(t) = 0 if and only if t = 0.
Many authors studied fixed point theorems which are based on altering distance functions, see for example [27–36].
In this article, we introduce the notion of almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping and we establish some results in complete ordered metric spaces, where ψ and ϕ are altering distance functions. Our results generalize Theorems 1.1 and 1.2.
2 Main results
In this section, we define the notion of almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping, then we present and prove our new results. In particular, we generalize Theorems 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 of Ćirić et al. [26].
Let (X, ≼, d) be an ordered metric space and let f : X → X be a mapping. Set
and
Now, we introduce the following definition.
Definition 2.1. Let (X, d) be a metric space and let ψ and ϕ be altering distance functions. We say that a mapping f : X → X is an almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping if there exists L ≥ 0 such that
for all comparable x, y ∈ X.
Throughout this article, the mappings ψ and ϕ denote altering distance functions. Now, let us prove our first result.
Theorem 2.1. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and suppose that there exists a metric d on X such that the metric (X, d) is complete. Let f : X → X be a non-decreasing continuous mapping with respect to ≼. Suppose that f is an almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping. If there exists x0 ∈ X such that x0 ≼ fx0, then f has a fixed point.
Proof. Let x0 ∈ X. Then, we define a sequences (x n ) in X such that xn+1= fx n . Since x0 ≼ fx0 = x1 and f is non-decreasing, we have x1 = fx0 ≼ x2 = fx1. Again, as x1 ≼ x2 and f is non-decreasing, we have x2 = fx1 ≼ x3 = fx2. By induction, we show that
If x n = xn+1for some n ∈ ℕ, then x n = fx n and hence x n is a fixed point of f. So, we may assume that x n ≠ xn+1for all n ∈ ℕ. By (2), we have
where
and
From (3)-(5) and the properties of ψ and ϕ, we get
If
then by (6) we have
which gives a contradiction. Thus,
Therefore (6) becomes
Since ψ is a non-decreasing mapping, we have {d(x n , xn+1): n ∈ ℕ ∪ {0}} is a non-increasing sequence of positive numbers. So, there exists r ≥ 0 such that
Letting n → +∞ in (7), we get
Therefore ϕ(r) = 0, and hence r = 0. Thus, we have
Next, we show that (x n ) is a Cauchy sequence in X. Suppose to the contrary; that is, (x n ) is not a Cauchy sequence. Then there exists ε > 0 for which we can find two subsequences (xm(i)) and (xn(i)) of (x n ) such that n(i) is the smallest index for which
This means that
From (9), (10) and the triangular inequality, we get
Using (8) and letting i → +∞, we get
From (2), we have
where
and
Letting i → +∞ in (13) and (14) then using (8) and (11), we get
and
Letting i → +∞ in (12) then using (11), (15) and (16) we have
which gives a contradiction. Thus (xn+1= fx n ) is a Cauchy sequence in X. As X is a complete space, there exists u ∈ X such that
Now, suppose that f is continuous, then fx n → fu. By the uniqueness of limit, we have fu = u. Thus u is a fixed point of f. □
Notice that the continuity of f in Theorem 2.1 is not necessary and can be dropped.
Theorem 2.2. Under the same hypotheses of Theorem 2.1 and without assuming the continuity of f, assume that whenever (x n ) is a non-decreasing sequence in X such that x n → x ∈ X implies x n ≼ x, for all n ∈ ℕ. Then f has a fixed point in X.
Proof. Following similar arguments to those given in Theorem 2.1, we construct an increasing sequence (x n ) in X such that x n → u for some u ∈ X. Using the assumption of X, we have x n ≼ u for all n ∈ ℕ. Now, we show that fu = u. By (2), we have
where
and
Letting n → +∞ in (18) and (19) then we get M(x n , u) → d(u, fu) and N(x n , u) → 0. Again when n → +∞ in (17) then we get
Therefore, d(u, fu) = 0. Thus u = fu and hence u is a fixed point of f. □
Corollary 2.1. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and suppose that there exists a metric d on X such that the metric (X, d) is complete. Let f : X → X be a non-decreasing continuous mapping with respect to ≼. Suppose that there exist k ∈ [0, 1) and L ≥ 0 such that
for all comparable x, y ∈ X. If there exists x0 ∈ X such that x0 ≤ fx0, then f has a fixed point.
Proof. Follows from Theorem (2.1) by taking ψ(t) = t and ϕ(t) = (1-k)t for all t ∈ [0, +∞) and noticing that f is an almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping. □
The continuity of f in Corollary 2.1 is not necessary and can be dropped.
Corollary 2.2. Under the hypotheses of Corollary 2.1 and without assuming the continuity of f, assume that whenever (x n ) is a non-decreasing sequence in X such that x n → x ∈ X implies x n ≼ x for all n ∈ ℕ. Then f has a fixed point in X.
Proof. Follows from Theorem (2.2) by taking ψ(t) = t and ϕ(t) = (1 -k)t for all t ∈ [0, +∞). □
Now, let (X, ≼, d) be an ordered metric space and let f, g : X → X be two mappings. Set
and
Then we introduce the following definition.
Definition 2.2. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set having a metric d, and let ψ and ϕ be altering distance functions. We say that a mapping f : X → X is an almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping with respect to a mapping g : X → X if there exists L ≥ 0 such that
for all comparable x, y ∈ X.
Definition 2.3. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set. Then two mappings f, g : X → X are said to be weakly increasing if fx ≼ gfx and gx ≼ fgx, for all X ∈ X.
Note that every strictly weakly increasing mapping is weakly increasing.
Theorem 2.3. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and suppose that there exists a metric d on X such that the metric (X, d) is complete, and let f, g : X → X be two weakly increasing mappings with respect to ≼. Suppose that f is an almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping with respect to g. If either f or g is continuous, then f and g have a common fixed point.
Proof. Let us divide the proof into two parts:
First part: We prove that u is a fixed point of f if and only if u is a fixed point of g. Now, suppose that u is a fixed point of f, then fu = u. As u ≼ u, by (20), we have
Thus we have ϕ(d(u, gu)) = 0. Therefore d(u, gu) = 0 and hence gu = u. Similarly, we show that if u is a fixed point of g, then u is a fixed point of f.
Second part (construction a sequence by iterative technique):
Let x0 ∈ X. We construct a sequence (x n ) in X such that x2n+1= fx2nand x2n+2= gx2n+1, for all non-negative integers, i.e. n ∈ ℕ ∪ {0}. As f and g are weakly increasing with respect ≼, we obtain the following:
If x2n= x2n+1for some n ∈ ℕ, then x2n= fx2n. Thus x2nis a fixed point of f. By the first part, we conclude that x2nis also a fixed point of g.
If x2n+1= x2n+2for some n ∈ ℕ, then x2n+1= gx2n+1. Thus x2n+1is a fixed point of g. By the first part, we conclude that x2n+1is also a fixed point of f.
Therefore, we may assume that x n ≠ xn+1for all n ∈ ℕ. Now we complete the proof in the following steps:
Step 1. We will prove that
As x2n+1and x2n+2are comparable, by (20), we have
where
and
So, we have
If
then (21) becomes
which gives a contradiction. So
and hence (21) becomes
Similarly, we show that
By (22) and (23), we get that {d(x n , xn+1); n ∈ ℕ} is a non-increasing sequence of positive numbers. Hence there is r ≥ 0 such that
Letting n →+∞ in (22), we get
which implies that ϕ(r) = 0 and hence r = 0.
So, we have
Step 2. We will prove that (x n ) is a Cauchy sequence. It is sufficient to show that (x2n) is a Cauchy sequence. Suppose to the contrary; that is, (x2n) is not a Cauchy sequence. Then there exists ε > 0 for which we can find two subsequences of positive integers (x2m(i)) and (x2n(i)) such that n(i) is the smallest index for which
This means that
From (25), (26) and the triangular inequality, we get
By letting i → +∞ in the above inequality and using (24), we have
Moreover,
Using (24), (27) and letting i → +∞, we get
Since x2n(i)and x2m(i)+1are comparable, so by (20) we have
where
and
By letting i → +∞ in (30) and (31), we get
Now, letting i → +∞ in (29) we get
So ϕ(ε) = 0 and then ε = 0, which is a contradiction. Hence (x n ) is a Cauchy sequence in X.
Step 3. (A common fixed point)
As (x n ) is a Cauchy sequence in X which is a complete space, there exists u ∈ X such that x n → u as n → +∞. Without loss of generality, we may assume that f is continuous. Since x2n→ u as n → +∞, we have x2n+1= fx2n→ fu as n → +∞. By the uniqueness of limit we get fu = u. Thus u is a fixed point of f. By the first part, we conclude that u is also a fixed point of g. □
The continuity of one of the functions f or g in Theorem 2.3 is not necessary and can be dropped.
Theorem 2.4. Under the hypotheses of Theorem 2.3 and without assuming the continuity of one of the functions f or g, assume that whenever (x n ) is a non-decreasing sequence in X such that x n → x ∈ X implies x n ≼ x, for all n ∈ ℕ. Then f and g have a common fixed point in X.
Proof. Following similar arguments to those given in Theorem 2.3, we construct an increasing sequence (x n ) in X such that x n → u for some u ∈ X. Using the assumption on X, we have x n ≼ u for all n ∈ ℕ. Now, we show that fu = gu = u. By (2), we have
where
and
Letting n → +∞ in (33) and (34) then we get M(x2n, u) → d(u, gu) and N(x2n, u) → 0 as n → +∞. Again when n → +∞ in (32), we get
Therefore, d(u, gu) = 0 thus u = gu and then u is a fixed point of f. Similarly, we may show that fu = u. Hence u is a common fixed point of f and g. □
Then we have the following consequence results.
Corollary 2.3. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and suppose that there exists a metric d on X such that the metric (X, d) is complete. Let f, g : X → X be two strictly weakly increasing mappings with respect to ≼. Suppose that there exist k ∈ [0, 1) and L ≥ 0 such that
for all comparable x, y ∈ X. If either f or g is continuous, then f and g have a common fixed point.
Proof. Define ψ, ϕ : [0, +∞) → [0, +∞) by ψ(t) = t and ϕ(t) = (1-k)t. Then f is an almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping with respect to g. The proof follows from Theorem 2.3. □
The continuity of one of the functions f or g in Corollary 2.3 is not necessary and can be dropped.
Corollary 2.4. Under the hypotheses of Corollary 2.3 and without assuming the continuity of one of the functions f or g, assume that whenever (x n ) is a non-decreasing sequence in × such that x n → X ∈ X implies x n ≼ x, for all n ∈ ℕ. Then f and g have a common fixed point in X.
Proof. Follows from Theorem 2.4. □
Now, in order to support the useability of our results, let us introduce the following example.
Example 2.1. Let × = {0, 1, 2, ...}. Define the function f, g : X → X by
and
Let d : X × X → ℝ+ be given by
Define ψ, ϕ: [0, +∞) → [0, +∞) by ψ(t) = t2 and ϕ(t) = t. Define a relation ≼ on X by × ≼ y iff y ≤ x. Then we have the following:
(1) (X, ≼) is a partially ordered set having the metric d, where the metric space (X, d) is complete.
(2) f and g are weakly increasing mappings with respect to ≼.
(3) f is continuous.
(4) f is an almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping with respect to g, that is,
for x, y ∈ X with × ≼ y and L ≥ 0, where
and
Proof. The proof of (1) is clear. To prove (2), let x ∈ X. If x ∈ {0, 1, 2}, then fgx = 0 ≤ gx = 0 and gfx = 0 ≤ fx. So gx ≼ fgx and fx ≼ gfx. While, if x ≥ 3, then fgx = x - 3 ≤ x - 2 = gx and gfx = x - 3 ≤ x - 1 = fx. So gx ≼ fgx and fx ≼ gfx. Hence f and g are weakly increasing mappings with respect to ≼. To prove that f is continuous, let (x n ) be a sequence in X such that x n → x ∈ X. By the definition of the metric d, there exists k ∈ ℕ such that x n = x for all n ≥ k. So fx n = fx for all n ≥ k. Hence fx n → fx that is, f is continuous. To prove (4), given x, y ∈ X with x ≼ y. So y ≤ x. Thus, we have the following cases:
Case 1. x ∈ {0, 1} and y ∈ {0, 1}. Then d(fx, fy) = 0 and hence
for each L ≥ 0.
Case 2. x, y ≥ 2 and x = y. Then d(fx, fy) = 0 and hence
for each L ≥ 0.
Case 3. x > y ≥ 2.
If x = y + 1, then
and
Since
we have
for each L ≥ 0.
If x > y + 1, then
and
As
we have
for each L ≥ 0. By combining all cases together, we conclude that f is an almost generalized (ψ, ϕ)-contractive mapping with respect to g. Thus f, g, ψ and ϕ satisfy all the hypotheses of Theorem 2.3 and hence f and g have a common fixed point. Indeed, 0 is the unique common fixed point of f and g. □
3 Applications
Let Φ denote the set of functions ϕ : [0, +∞) → [0, +∞) satisfying the following hypotheses:
-
(1)
Every ϕ ∈ Φ is a Lebesgue integrable function on each compact subset of [0, +∞),
-
(2)
For any ϕ ∈ Φ and ε > 0,
It is an easy matter, to check that the mapping ψ : [0, +∞) → [0, +∞) defined by
is an altering distance function. Therefore, we have the following results.
Corollary 3.1. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set having a metric d, such that the metric space (X, d) is complete. Let f : X → X be a non-decreasing continuous mapping with respect to ≼. Suppose that there exist k ∈ [0, 1) and L ≥ 0 such that
for all comparable x, y ∈ X. If there exists x0 ∈ X such that x0 ≼ fx0, then f has a fixed point.
Proof. Follows from Corollary 2.1 by taking □
Corollary 3.2. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set having a metric d, such that the metric space (X, d) is complete. Let f, g : X → X be two weakly increasing mappings with respect to ≼. Suppose that there exist k ∈ [0, 1) and L ≥ 0 such that
for all comparable x, y ∈ X. If there exists x0 ∈ X such that x0 ≼ fx0, then f has a fixed point.
Proof. Follows from Corollary 2.3 by taking □
Finally, let us finish this article by noticing the following remarks:
Remark 1. Theorem 2.1 of [26] is a special case of Corollary 2.1
Remark 2. Theorem 2.2 of [26] is a special case of Corollary 2.2
Remark 3. Theorem 2.3, Corollaries 2.4 and 2.6 of [26] are special cases of Corollary 2.3
