Abstract
Recently, Gordji et al. [Math. Comput. Model. 54, 1897-1906 (2011)] prove the coupled coincidence point theorems for nonlinear contraction mappings satisfying commutative condition in intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces. The aim of this article is to extend and improve some coupled coincidence point theorems of Gordji et al. Also, we give an example of a nonlinear contraction mapping which is not applied by the results of Gordji et al., but can be applied to our results.

1. Introduction
The classical Banach's contraction mapping principle first appear in [1]. Since this principle is a powerful tool in nonlinear analysis, many mathematicians have much contributed to the improvement and generalization of this principle in many ways (see [2–10] and others).
One of the most interesting is study to other spaces such as probabilistic metric spaces (see [11–15]). The fuzzy theory was introduced simultaneously by Zadeh [16]. The idea of intuitionistic fuzzy set was first published by Atanassov [17]. Since then, Saadati and Park [18] introduced the concept of intuitionistic fuzzy normed spaces (IFNSs). In [19], Saadati et al. have modified the notion of IFNSs of Saadati and Park [18].
Several researchers have applied fuzzy theory to the well-known results in many fields, for example, quantum physics [20], nonlinear dynamical systems [21], population dynamics [22], computer programming [23], fixed point theorem [24–27], fuzzy stability problems [28–30], statistical convergence [31–34], functional equation [35], approximation theory [36], nonlinear equation [37, 38] and many others.
In the other hand, coupled fixed points and their applications for binary mappings in partially ordered metric spaces were introduced by Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [39]. They applied coupled fixed point theorems to show the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a periodic boundary value problem. After that, Lakshmikantham and Ćirić [40] proved some more generalizations of coupled fixed point theorems in partially ordered sets.
Recently, Gordji et al. [41] proved some coupled coincidence point theorems for contractive mappings satisfying commutative condition in partially complete IFNSs as follows:
Theorem 1.1 (Gordji et al. [41]). Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and (X, μ, ν, *, ◊) a complete IFNS such that (μ, ν) has n-property and
Let F: X × X → X and g : X → X be two mappings such that F has the mixed g-monotone property and
for which g(x) ≼ g(u) and g(y) ≽ z g(v), where 0 <k < 1, F(X × X) ⊆ g(X), g is continuous and g commuting with F. Suppose that either
-
(1)
F is continuous or
-
(2)
X has the following properties:
-
(a)
if {x n } is a non-decreasing sequence with {x n } → x, then gx n ≼ gx for all n ∈ ℕ,
-
(b)
if {y n } is a non-increasing sequence with {y n } → y, then gy ≼ gy n for all n ∈ ℕ.
If there exist x0, y0 ∈ X such that
then F and g have a coupled coincidence point in X × X.
In this article, we improve the result given by Gordji et al. [41] without using the commutative condition and also give an example to validate the main results in this article. Our results improve and extend some couple fixed point theorems due to Gordji et al. [41] and other couple fixed point theorems.
2. Preliminaries
Now, we give some definitions, examples and lemmas for our main results in this article.
Definition 2.1 ([42]). A binary operation *: [0,1]2 → [0,1] is called a continuous t-norm if ([0,1], *) is an abelian topological monoid, i.e.,
-
(1)
* is associative and commutative;
-
(2)
* is continuous;
-
(3)
a * 1 = a for all a ∈ [0,1];
-
(4)
a * b ≤ c * d whenever a ≤ c and b ≤ d for all a, b, c, d ∈ [0,1].
Definition 2.2 ([42]). A binary operation ◊: [0,1]2 → [0,1] is called a continuous t-conorm if ([0,1],◊) is an abelian topological monoid, i.e.,
-
(1)
◊ is associative and commutative;
-
(2)
◊ is continuous;
-
(3)
a ◊ 0 = a for all a ∈ [0,1];
-
(4)
a ◊ b ≤ c ◊ d whenever a ≤ c and b ≤ d for all a, b, c, d ∈ [0,1].
Using the continuous t-norm and t-conorm, Saadati and Park [18] introduced the concept of IFNSs.
Definition 2.3 ([18]). The 5-tuple (X, μ, ν, *,◊) is called an IFNS if X is a vector space, * is a continuous t-norm, ◊ is a continuous t-conorm and μ, ν are fuzzy sets on X × (0, ∞) satisfying the following conditions: for all x, y ∈ X and s, t > 0,
(IF1) μ(x, t) + ν(x, t) ≤ 1;
(IF2) μ(x, t) > 0;
(IF3) μ(x, t) = 1 if and only if x = 0;
(IF4) for all α ≠ 0;
(IF5) μ(x, t) * μ(y, s) ≤ μ(x + y, t + s);
(IF6) μ(x,.): (0, ∞) → [0,1] is continuous;
(IF7) μ is a non-decreasing function on ℝ+,
(IF8) ν(x, t) < 1;
(IF9) ν(x, t) = 0 if and only if x = 0;
(IF10) for all α ≠ 0;
(IF11) ν(x, t) ◊ ν(y, s) ≥ ν(x + y, t + s);
(IF12) ν(x,·): (0, ∞) → [0,1] is continuous;
(IF13) ν is a non-increasing function on ℝ+,
In this case, (μ, ν) is called an intuitionistic fuzzy norm.
Definition 2.4 ([18]). Let (X, μ, ν, *,◊) be an IFNS.
-
(1)
A sequence {x n } in X is said to be convergent to a point x ∈ X with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm (μ, ν) if, for any ε > 0 and t > 0, there exists k ∈ ℕ such that
In this case, we write lim n →∞ x n = x. In fact that lim n →∞ x n = x if μ(x n - x, t) → 1 and ν(x n - x, t) → 0 as n → ∞ for every t > 0.
-
(2)
A sequence {x n } in X is called a Cauchy sequence with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy norm (μ, ν) if, for any ε > 0 and t > 0, there exists k ∈ ℕ such that
This implies {x n } is Cauchy if μ(x n - x m , t) → 1 and ν(x n - x m , t) → 0 as n, m → ∞ for every t > 0.
-
(3)
An IFNS (X, μ, ν, *, ◊) is said to be complete if every Cauchy sequence in (X, μ, ν, *, ◊) is convergent.
Definition 2.5 ([43, 44]). Let X and Y be two IFNS. A function g : X → Y is said to be continuous at a point x0 ∈ X if, for any sequence {x n } in X converging to a point x0 ∈ X, the sequence {g(x n )} in Y converges to a point g(x0) ∈ Y. If g : X → Y is continuous at each x ∈ X, then g : X → Y is said to be continuous on X.
Example 2.6 ([41]). Let (X, || · ||) be an ordinary normed space and θ an increasing and continuous function from ℝ+ into (0,1) such that limt→∞θ(t) = 1. Four typical examples of these functions are as follows:
Let a * b = ab and a ◊ b ≥ ab for all a, b ∈ [0,1]. If, for any t ∈ (0, ∞), we define
then (X, μ, ν, *, ◊) is an IFNS.
The other basic properties and examples of IFNSs are given in [18].
Definition 2.7 ([41]). Let (X, μ, ν, *,◊) be an IFNS. (μ, ν) is said to satisfy the n-property on X × (0, ∞) if
whenever x ∈ X, k > 1 and p > 0.
For examples for n-property see in [41]. Next, we give some notion in coupled fixed point theory.
Definition 2.8 ([39]). Let X be a non-empty set. An element (x, y) ∈ X × X is call a coupled fixed point of the mapping F : X × X → X if
Definition 2.9 ([40]). Let X be a non-empty set. An element (x, y) ∈ X × X is call a coupled coincidence point of the mappings F : X × X → X and g : X → X if
Definition 2.10 ([39]). Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and F : X × X → X be a mapping. The mapping F is said to has the mixed monotone property if F is monotone non-decreasing in its first argument and is monotone non-increasing in its second argument, that is, for any x, y ∈ X
and
Definition 2.11 ([40]). Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and F : X × X → X, g : X → X be mappings. The mapping F is said to has the mixed g-monotone property if F is monotone g-non-decreasing in its first argument and is monotone g-non-increasing in its second argument, that is, for any x, y ∈ X,
and
Definition 2.12 ([40]). Let X be a non-empty set and F : X × X → X, g : X → X be mappings. The mappings F and g are said to be commutative if
The following lemma proved by Haghi et al. [45] is useful for our main results:
Lemma 2.13 ([45]). Let X be a nonempty set and g : X → X be a mapping. Then, there exists a subset E ⊆ X such that g(E) = g(X) and g : E → X is one-to-one.
3. Main Results
First, we prove a coupled fixed point theorem for a mapping F : X × X → X which is an essential tool in the partial order IFNSs to show the existence of coupled fixed point. Although the proof in Theorem 3.1 is not difficult to modify, it is an important theorem which is helpful in proving some coupled coincidence point theorems without commutative condition.
Theorem 3.1. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and (X, μ, ν, *, ◊) a complete IFNS such that (μ, ν) has n-property and
Let F : X × X → X be mapping such that F has the mixed monotone property and
for which x ≼ u and y ≽ v, where 0 <k < 1. Suppose that either
-
(1)
F is continuous or
-
(2)
X has the following properties:
-
(a)
if {x n } is a non-decreasing sequence with {x n } → x, then x n ≼ x for all n ∈ ℕ,
-
(b)
if {y n } is a non-increasing sequence with {y n } → y, then y ≼ y n for all n ∈ ℕ.
If there exist x0, y0 ∈ X such that
then F has a coupled fixed point in X × X.
Proof. Let x0, y0 ∈ X be such that
Since F(X × X) ⊆ X, we can construct the sequences {x n } and {y n } in X such that
Now, we show that
In fact, by induction, we prove this. For n = 0, since x0 ≼ F(x0, y0) = x1 and y0 = F(y0, x0) ≽ y1, we show that (3.4) holds for n = 0. Suppose that (3.4) holds for any n ≥ 0. Then, we have
Since F has the mixed monotone property, it follows from (3.5) and (2.1) that
and also it follows from (3.5) and (2.2) that
If we take y = y n and x = x n in (3.6), then we get
If we take y = yn+1and x = xn+1in (3.7), then we get
Hence, it follows from (3.8) and (3.9) that
Therefore, by induction, we conclude that (3.4) holds for all n ≥ 0, that is,
and
Define α n (t): = μ(x n - xn+1, t) * μ(y n - yn+1, t). Then, using (3.2) and (3.3), we have
and
From the t-norm property, (3.13) and (3.14), it follows that
From (3.1), we have
By (3.15) and (3.16), we get α n (kt) ≥ [αn-1(t)]2 for all n ≥ 1. Repeating this process, we have
which implies that
On the other hand, we have
By property of t-norm, we get
where p > 0 such that m <np. Sine (μ, ν) has the n-property, we have
and so
Next, we claim that
Define β n (t) := ν(x n - xn+1, t) ◊ ν(y n - yn+1, t). It follows from (3.2) and (3.3) that
and
Thus, it follows from the notion of t-conorm, (3.21) and (3.22) that
From (3.1), we have
Thus, by (3.23) and (3.24), we get β n (kt) ≤ [βn-1(t)]2 for all n ≥ 1. Repeating this process again, we have
that is,
Since we have
by the t-conorm property, we get
where p > 0 such that m <np. Sine (μ, ν) has the n-property, we have
and so
From (3.20) and (3.28), we know that the sequences {x n } and {y n } are Cauchy sequences in X. Since X complete, there exist x, y ∈ X such that
Next, we show that x = F(x, y) and y = F(y, x). If the assumption (1) holds, then we have
and
Therefore, x = F(x, y) and y = F(y, x), that is, F has a coupled fixed point.
Suppose that the assumption (2) holds. Since {x n } is non-decreasing and x n → x, it follows from (a) that x n ≼ x for all n ∈ ℕ. Similarly, we can conclude that y n ≽ y for all n ∈ ℕ. Then, by (3.2), we get
Taking the limit as n → ∞, we have μ(x - F(x, y), kt) = 1 and so x = F(x, y). Using (3.2) again, we have
Taking the limit as n → ∞ in both sides of (3.33), we have ν(y - F(y, x), kt) = 0 and then y = F(y, x). Therefore, F has a coupled fixed point at (x, y). This completes the proof. □
Next, we prove the existence of coupled coincidence point theorem, where we do not require that F and g are commuting.
Theorem 3.2. Let (X, ≼) be a partially ordered set and (X, μ, ν, *,◊) a IFNS such that (μ, ν) has n-property and
Let F : X × X → X and g : X → X be two mappings such that F has the mixed g-monotone property and
for which gx ≼ gu and gy ≽ gv, where 0 <k < 1, F(X × X) ⊆ g(X) and g is continuous, g(X) is complete. Suppose that either
-
(1)
F is continuous or
-
(2)
X has the following property:
-
(a)
if {x n } is a non-decreasing sequence with {x n } → x, then x n ≼ x for all n ∈ ℕ,
-
(b)
if {y n } is a non-increasing sequence with {y n } → y, then y ≼ y n for all n ∈ ℕ.
If there exist x0, y0 ∈ X such that
then F and g have a coupled coincidence point in X × X.
Proof. Using Lemma 2.13, there exists E ⊆ X such that g(E) = g(X) and g : E → X is one-to-one. We define a mapping by
As g is one to one on g(E), so A is well-defined. Thus, it follows from (3.35) and (3.36) that
and
for all gx, gy, gu, gv ∈ g(E) with gx ≼ gy and gy ≽ gv. Since F has the mixed g-monotone property, for all x, y ∈ X, we have
and
Thus, it follows from (3.36), (3.39) and (3.40) that, for all gx, gy ∈ g(E),
and
which implies that has the mixed monotone property.
Suppose that the assumption (1) holds. Since F is continuous, is also continuous. Using Theorem 3.1 with the mapping , it follows that has a coupled fixed point (u, v) ∈ g(X) × g(X).
Suppose that the assumption (2) holds. We can conclude similarly in the proof of Theorem 3.1 that the mapping has a coupled fixed point (u, v) ∈ g(X) × g(X).
Finally, we prove that F and g have a coupled coincidence point in X. Since (u, v) is a coupled fixed point of , we get
Since (u, v) ∈ g(X) × g(X), there exists a point such that
Thus, it follows from (3.43) and (3.44) that
Also, from (3.36) and (3.45), we get
Therefore, is a coupled coincidence point of F and g. This completes the proof. □
Next, we give example to validate Theorem 3.2.
Example 3.3. Let X = ℝ, a * b = ab ≥ a ◊ b for all a, b ∈ [0,1] and . Then, (X, μ, ν, *,◊) is a complete fuzzy normed space, where
that (μ, ν) satisfies the n-property on X × (0, ∞). If X is endowed with the usual order as x ≼ y ⇔ y - x ∈ [0, ∞), then (X, ≼) is a partially ordered set. Define mappings F : X × X → X and g : X → X by
and
Since
for all x, y ∈ X, the mappings F and g do not satisfy the commutative condition. Hence, Theorem 2.5 of Gordji et al. [41] cannot be applied to this example. But, by simple calculation, we see that F(X × X) ⊆ g(X), g and F are continuous and F has the mixed g-monotone property. Moreover, there exist x0 = 1 and y0 = 3 with
and
Now, for any x, y, u, v ∈ X with gx ≼ gu and gy ≽ gv, we get
and
where 0 <k < 1. Therefore, all the conditions of Theorem 3.2 hold and so F and g have a coupled coincidence point in X × X. In fact, a point (2,2) is a coupled coincidence point of F and g.
Remark 3.4. Although Theorem 2.5 of Gordji et al. [41] is essential tool in the partially ordered fuzzy normed spaces to claim the existence of coupled coincidence points of two mappings. However, some mappings do not have the commutative property as in the above example. Therefore, it is very interesting to use Theorem 3.2 as another auxiliary tool to claim the existence of a coupled coincidence point.
