1 Introduction and mathematical preliminaries
Let be a metric space and f be a self-mapping on X. If for some x in X, then x is called a fixed point of f. The set of all fixed points of f is denoted by . If , and for each in a complete metric space X, the sequence , , converges to z, then f is called a Picard operator.
The function is called an altering distance function if φ is continuous and nondecreasing and if and only if [1].
A self-mapping f on X is a weak contraction if the following contractive condition holds:
for all , where φ is an altering distance function.
The concept of a weakly contractive mapping was introduced by Alber and Guerre-Delabrere [2] in the setup of Hilbert spaces. Rhoades [3] considered this class of mappings in the setup of metric spaces and proved that a weakly contractive mapping is a Picard operator.
Let f and g be two self-mappings on a nonempty set X. If for some x in X, then x is called a common fixed point of f and g. Sessa [4] defined the concept of weakly commutative maps to obtain common fixed point for a pair of maps. Jungck generalized this idea, first to compatible mappings [5] and then to weakly compatible mappings [6]. There are examples which show that each of these generalizations of commutativity is a proper extension of the previous definition.
Zhang and Song [7] introduced the concept of a generalized φ-weak contractive mapping as follows.
Self-mappings f and g on a metric space X are called generalized φ-weak contractions if there exists a lower semicontinuous function with and for all such that for all ,
where
Based on the above definition, they proved the following common fixed point result.
Theorem 1.1 [7]
Let be a complete metric space. If are generalized φ-weak contractive mappings, then there exists a unique point such that .
For further works in this direction, we refer the reader to [8–20].
Recently, many researchers have focused on different contractive conditions in complete metric spaces endowed with a partial order and studied fixed point theory in the so-called bistructural spaces. For more details on fixed point results, its applications, comparison of different contractive conditions and related results in ordered metric spaces, we refer the reader to [21–40] and the references mentioned therein.
Mustafa and Sims [41] generalized the concept of a metric, in which to every triplet of points of an abstract set, a real number is assigned. Based on the notion of generalized metric spaces, Mustafa et al. [42–49] obtained some fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying different contractive conditions. Chugh et al. [50] obtained some fixed point results for maps satisfying property P in G-metric spaces. Saadati et al. [51] studied fixed point of contractive mappings in partially ordered G-metric spaces. Shatanawi [52] obtained fixed points of Φ-maps in G-metric spaces. For more details, we refer to [21, 53–65].
Very recently, Jleli and Samet [66] and Samet et al. [67] noticed that some fixed point theorems in the context of a G-metric space can be concluded by some existing results in the setting of a (quasi-)metric space. In fact, if the contraction condition of the fixed point theorem on a G-metric space can be reduced to two variables instead of three variables, then one can construct an equivalent fixed point theorem in the setting of a usual metric space. More precisely, in [66, 67], the authors noticed that forms a quasi-metric. Therefore, if one can transform the contraction condition of existence results in a G-metric space in such terms, , then the related fixed point results become the known fixed point results in the context of a quasi-metric space.
The following definitions and results will be needed in the sequel.
Definition 1.2 [41]
Let X be a nonempty set. Suppose that a mapping satisfies:
-
(G1)
if ;
-
(G2)
for all , with ;
-
(G3)
for all , with ;
-
(G4)
(symmetry in all three variables); and
-
(G5)
for all .
Then G is called a G-metric on X and is called a G-metric space.
Definition 1.3 [41]
A sequence in a G-metric space X is:
-
(i)
a G-convergent sequence if there is such that for any , and , for all , .
-
(ii)
a G-Cauchy sequence if, for every , there is a natural number such that for all , .
A G-metric space on X is said to be G-complete if every G-Cauchy sequence in X is G-convergent in X. It is known that G-converges to if and only if as .
Lemma 1.4 [41]
Let X be a G-metric space. Then the following are equivalent:
-
(1)
The sequence is G-convergent to x.
-
(2)
as .
-
(3)
as .
Lemma 1.5 [68]
Let X be a G-metric space. Then the following are equivalent:
The sequence is G-Cauchy.
For every , there exists such that for all , ; that is, if as .
Definition 1.6 [41]
Let and be two G-metric spaces. Then a function is G-continuous at a point if and only if it is G-sequentially continuous at x; that is, whenever is G-convergent to x, is -convergent to .
Definition 1.7 A G-metric on X is said to be symmetric if for all .
Proposition 1.8 Every G-metric on X defines a metric on X by
For a symmetric G-metric space, one obtains
However, if G is not symmetric, then the following inequality holds:
Definition 1.9 A partially ordered G-metric space is said to have the sequential limit comparison property if for every nondecreasing sequence (nonincreasing sequence) in X, implies that ().
Definition 1.10 Let f and g be two self-maps on a partially ordered set X. A pair is said to be
Let X be a nonempty set and be a given mapping. For every , let .
Definition 1.11 Let be a partially ordered set, and let be mappings such that and . The ordered pair is said to be: (a) weakly increasing with respect to h if and only if for all , for all , and for all [34], (b) partially weakly increasing with respect to h if for all [32].
Remark 1.12 In the above definition: (i) if , we say that f is weakly increasing (partially weakly increasing) with respect to h, (ii) if (the identity mapping on X), then the above definition reduces to a weakly increasing (partially weakly increasing) mapping (see [34, 40]).
The following is an example of mappings f, g, h, R, S and T for which all ordered pairs , and are partially weakly increasing with respect to R, S and T but not weakly increasing with respect to them.
Example 1.13 Let . We define functions by
and
Let X be a G-metric space and . The pair is said to be compatible if and only if , whenever is a sequence in X such that for some .
Definition 1.15 (see, e.g., [67])
A quasi-metric on a nonempty set X is a mapping such that (p1) if and only if , (p2) for all . A pair is said to be a quasi-metric space.
The study of unique common fixed points of mappings satisfying strict contractive conditions has been at the center of vigorous research activity. The study of common fixed point theorems in generalized metric spaces was initiated by Abbas and Rhoades [56] (see also [21, 53, 54]). Motivated by the work in [8, 13, 16, 17, 22, 32] and [40], we prove some coincidence point results for nonlinear generalized -weakly contractive mappings in partially ordered G-metric spaces.
2 Main results
Let be an ordered G-metric space, and let be six self-mappings. Throughout this paper, unless otherwise stated, for all , let
Let X be any nonempty set and be six mappings such that , and . Let be an arbitrary point of X. Choose such that , such that and such that . This can be done as , and .
Continuing in this way, we construct a sequence defined by: , , and for all . The sequence in X is said to be a Jungck-type iterative sequence with initial guess .
Theorem 2.1 Let be a partially ordered G-complete G-metric space. Let be six mappings such that , and . Suppose that for every three comparable elements , we have
where are altering distance functions. Let f, g, h, R, S and T be continuous, the pairs , and be compatible and the pairs , and be partially weakly increasing with respect to R, S and T, respectively. Then the pairs , and have a coincidence point in X. Moreover, if , and are comparable, then is a coincidence point of f, g, h, R, S and T.
Proof Let be a Jungck-type iterative sequence with initial guess in X; that is, , and for all .
As , and , and the pairs , and are partially weakly increasing with respect to R, S and T, so we have
Continuing this process, we obtain for .
We will complete the proof in three steps.
Step I. We will prove that .
Define . Suppose for some . Then . If , then gives . Indeed,
where
Thus,
which implies that ; that is. Similarly, if , then gives . Also, if , then implies that . Consequently, the sequence becomes constant for .
Suppose that
for each k. We now claim that the following inequality holds:
for each .
Let and for , . Then, as , using (2.1), we obtain that
where
Hence, (2.4) implies that
which is possible only if ; that is, , a contradiction to (2.2). Hence, and
Therefore, (2.3) is proved for .
Similarly, it can be shown that
and
Hence, is a nondecreasing sequence of nonnegative real numbers. Therefore, there is such that
Since
taking limit as in (2.8), we obtain
Taking limit as in (2.4), using (2.7), (2.9) and the continuity of ψ and φ, we have . Therefore . Hence,
from our assumptions about φ. Also, from Definition 1.2, part (G3), we have
and, since for all , we have
Step II. We now show that is a G-Cauchy sequence in X. Because of (2.10), it is sufficient to show that is G-Cauchy.
We assume on contrary that there exists for which we can find subsequences and of such that and
and is the smallest number such that the above statement holds; i.e.,
From the rectangle inequality and (2.14), we have
Taking limit as in (2.15), from (2.11) and (2.13) we obtain that
Using the rectangle inequality, we have
Taking limit as in (2.17), from (2.16), (2.10), (2.11) and (2.12) we have
Finally,
Taking limit as in (2.19) and using (2.16), (2.10), (2.11) and (2.12), we have
Consider
Taking limit as and using (2.10), (2.11) and (2.12), we have
Therefore,
As , so from (2.1) we have
where
Taking limit as and using (2.11), (2.12), (2.18) and (2.21) in (2.22), we have
a contradiction. Hence, is a G-Cauchy sequence.
Step III. We will show that f, g, h, R, S and T have a coincidence point.
Since is a G-Cauchy sequence in the G-complete G-metric space X, there exists such that
and
Hence,
As is compatible, so
Moreover, from , , and the continuity of T and f, we obtain
By the rectangle inequality, we have
Taking limit as in (2.29), we obtain
which implies that , that is, is a coincidence point of f and T.
Similarly, and . Now, let , and be comparable. By (2.1) we have
where
Hence (2.30) gives
Therefore, . □
In the following theorem, the continuity assumption on the mappings f, g, h, R, S and T is in fact replaced by the sequential limit comparison property of the space, and the compatibility of the pairs , and is in fact replaced by weak compatibility of the pairs.
Theorem 2.2 Let be a partially ordered G-complete G-metric space with the sequential limit comparison property, let be six mappings such that , , and let , RX, SX and TX be G-complete subsets of X. Suppose that for comparable elements , we have
where are altering distance functions. Then the pairs , and have a coincidence point in X provided that the pairs , and are weakly compatible and the pairs , and are partially weakly increasing with respect to R, S and T, respectively. Moreover, if , and are comparable, then is a coincidence point of f, g, h, R, S and T.
Proof Following the proof of Theorem 2.1, there exists such that
Since is G-complete and , therefore . Hence, there exists such that and
Similarly, there exists such that and
Now, we prove that w is a coincidence point of f and T. For this purpose, we show that . Suppose opposite . Since as , so .
Therefore, from (2.31), we have
where
Taking limit as in (2.35), as and from (G2) and the fact that , we obtain that
which implies that , a contradiction, so . Again from the above inequality it is easy to see that . So, we have .
As f and T are weakly compatible, we have . Thus is a coincidence point of f and T.
Similarly it can be shown that is a coincidence point of the pairs and .
The rest of the proof can be obtained from the same arguments as those in the proof of Theorem 2.1. □
Remark 2.3 Let be a G-metric space. Let be mappings. If we define functions in the following way:
and
for all , it is easy to see that both mappings p and q do not satisfy the conditions of Definition 1.15. Hence, Theorem 2.1 and Theorem 2.2 cannot be characterized in the context of quasi-metric as it is suggested in [66, 67].
Taking in Theorem 2.1, we obtain the following result.
Corollary 2.4 Let be a partially ordered G-complete G-metric space, and let be four mappings such that . Suppose that for every three comparable elements , we have
where
and are altering distance functions. Then f, g, h and R have a coincidence point in X provided that the pairs , and are partially weakly increasing with respect to R and either
-
a.
f is continuous and the pair is compatible, or
-
b.
g is continuous and the pair is compatible, or
-
c.
h is continuous and the pair is compatible.
Taking and in Theorem 2.1, we obtain the following coincidence point result.
Corollary 2.5 Let be a partially ordered G-complete G-metric space, and let be two mappings such that . Suppose that for every three comparable elements , we have
where
and are altering distance functions. Then the pair has a coincidence point in X provided that f and R are continuous, the pair is compatible and f is weakly increasing with respect to R.
Example 2.6 Let and G on X be given by for all . We define an ordering ‘⪯’ on X as follows:
Define self-maps f, g, h, S, T and R on X by
To prove that are partially weakly increasing with respect to R, let be such that ; that is, . By the definition of f and R, we have and . As for all , therefore , or
Therefore, . Hence is partially weakly increasing with respect to R. Similarly, one can show that and are partially weakly increasing with respect to S and T, respectively.
Furthermore, and the pairs , and are compatible. Indeed, if is a sequence in X such that for some , . Therefore, we have
Continuity of sinh−1 and sinh implies that
and the uniqueness of the limit gives that . But
So, we have . Since f and T are continuous, we have
Define as and for all , where .
Using the mean value theorem simultaneously for the functions sinh−1 and sinh, we have
Thus, (2.1) is satisfied for all . Therefore, all the conditions of Theorem 2.1 are satisfied. Moreover, 0 is a coincidence point of f, g, h, R, S and T.
The following example supports the usability of our results for non-symmetric G-metric spaces.
Example 2.7 Let be endowed with the usual order. Let
and
Define by
It is easy to see that is a non-symmetric G-metric space.
Also, has the sequential limit comparison property. Indeed, for each in X such that for an , there is such that for each , .
Define the self-maps f, g, h, R, S and T by
We see that
and
Also, RX, SX and TX are G-complete. The pairs , and are weakly compatible.
On the other hand, one can easily check that the pairs , and are partially weakly increasing with respect to R, S and T, respectively.
Define by and .
According to the definition of f, g, h and G for each three elements , we see that
But
and
Hence, we have
Therefore, all the conditions of Theorem 2.2 are satisfied. Moreover, 0 is a coincidence point of f, g, h, R, S and T.
Let Λ be the set of all functions satisfying the following conditions:
-
(I)
μ is a positive Lebesgue integrable mapping on each compact subset of .
-
(II)
For all , .
Remark 2.8 Suppose that there exists such that mappings f, g, h, R, S and T satisfy the following condition:
Then f, g, h, R, S and T have a coincidence point if the other conditions of Theorem 2.1 are satisfied.
For this, define the function . Then (2.38) becomes
Take and . It is easy to verify that and are altering distance functions.
Taking , and in Theorems 2.1 and 2.2, we obtain the following common fixed point result.
Theorem 2.9 Let be a partially ordered G-complete G-metric space, and let f and g be two self-mappings on X. Suppose that for every comparable elements ,
where
and are altering distance functions. Then the pair has a common fixed point z in X provided that the pair is weakly increasing and either
-
a.
f or g is continuous, or
-
b.
X has the sequential limit comparison property.
Taking in the above, we obtain the following common fixed point result.
Theorem 2.10 Let be a partially ordered complete G-metric space, and let f be a self-mapping on X. Suppose that for every comparable elements ,
where
and are altering distance functions. Then f has a fixed point z in X provided that f is weakly increasing and either
-
a.
f is continuous, or
-
b.
X has the sequential limit comparison property.
3 Existence of a common solution for a system of integral equations
Motivated by the work in [21] and [32], we consider the following system of integral equations:
where . The aim of this section is to prove the existence of a solution for (3.1) which belongs to (the set of all continuous real-valued functions defined on ) as an application of Corollary 2.4.
The considered problem can be reformulated as follows.
Let be defined by
and
for all and for all . Obviously, the existence of a solution for (3.1) is equivalent to the existence of a common fixed point of f, g and h.
Let
Equip X with the G-metric given by
for all . Evidently, is a complete G-metric space. We endow X with the partial ordered ⪯ given by
for all . It is known that has the sequential limit comparison property [37].
Now, we will prove the following result.
Theorem 3.1 Suppose that the following hypotheses hold:
-
(i)
and are continuous;
-
(ii)
For all and for all , we have
and
-
(iii)
For all and for all with , we have
where is a continuous function satisfying
Then system (3.1) has a solution .
Proof From condition (ii), the ordered pairs , and are partially weakly increasing.
Now, let be such that . From condition (iii), for all , we have
Hence,
Similarly, we can show that
and
Therefore, from (3.2), (3.3) and (3.4), we have
Putting, , and in Corollary 2.4, there exists , a common fixed point of f and g and h, which is a solution of (3.1). □
