    The most celebrated fixed point theorem familiar as Banach contraction principle (BCP) (see [13]), is largely used to obtain the existence of a solution of linear and nonlinear functional equations. Given an initial guess of the solution, BCP provides sufficient conditions to guarantee the convergence of successive approximations to actual solution of the problem. BCP [13] has been modified and applied in different directions for instance [19,26,33] and the references therein. Existence of fixed points of certain mappings established on partially ordered metric spaces has been considered by Ran and Reurings [34]. For further consequences in this direction [21,35]. Jachymski and Jozwik [23] used graph structure on metric fixed point theory instead of the order structure and proved fixed point results. In this fashion the consequences proven in ordered structured upgraded and generalized (see also [24] and the reference therein); In 2009, Gwozdz-CLukawska and Jachymski [36] incorporated graph theory in metric fixed point theory and flourished the results of the Hutchinson-Barnsley theory for specific families of mappings on a metric space. Bojor [16] amalgamated fixed point theory on metric space with graph theory and established fixed point results for Reich type contractions on metric spaces. Abbas and Nazir [3] used graphic structure and proved fixed points results of power graph contraction pair on a metric space. This attracted the attention of many authors and various interesting results have been obtained in this direction (see, for example, [7,8,15,17,18]). Wardowski [37] introduced F-contraction and achieved an interesting fixed point consequence as an extension of BCP. On the domain of sets equipped with directed graph, latterly, Abbas et al. [1] established some fixed point results of set-valued mappings fulfilling certain graphic contraction conditions (see also, [2]). On the other hand, one of the obstacles in mathematical modeling of real circumstances is the indefiniteness persuaded by our inabilities to classify events with ample precision. The crisp set theory cannot cope effectively with imprecisions. As an attempt to deal with the problems of inadequate data, crisp sets were replaced with fuzzy sets [38] which gave a birth to Fuzzy set theory. It provides appropriate mathematical tools for handling information with non statistical uncertainty. As a result, fuzzy set theory has gained much recognition because of its utilization in several domains such as management sciences, engineering, environmental sciences, medical sciences and in other emerging fields. The fundamental notions of fuzzy sets have been modified and polished up in different fashions; for example, see [4,9,20,27,28]. In 1981, Heilpern [22] initiated the study of fuzzy set-valued maps and obtained a fuzzy replica of Nadler's fixed point results [31]. Afterwards, many authors worked on the existence of fixed points of fuzzy set-valued maps, for example, Al-Mazrooei et al. [5,6], Azam et al. [10,11,12], Bose and Sahani [14], Mohammed [29], Mohammed and Azam [30], Qiu and Shu [32], and so on.

    In this paper, we develop a generalized graphic fuzzy F- contractive mappings on metric spaces and obtain the existence of common fuzzy coincidence and fixed point results for such contractions. We present some examples to endorse the results established herein. Our results extend and unify comparable results in the present literature.

    Persistent with Jacehymski [24], let (Ψ,φ) be a metric space and the diagonal of Ψ×Ψ is denoted by Δ.V(G) denotes the set of vertices coincides with Ψ of a directed graph G and E(G) represents the set of edges of the graph containing all loops, that is, ΔE(G). Also it is assumed that the graph G has no multiple edges and hence, one can recognize G with the pair (V(G),E(G)). Moreover, the number φ(ξ,ζ) is interpreted as the weight of the edge (ξ,ζ) of G.

    Definition 2.1. In a metric space (Ψ,φ), a mapping h:ΨΨ is defined a G-contraction if

    for each ξ,ζΨ with (ξ,ζ)E(G), we possess (h(ξ),h(ζ))E(G). Viz, h preserves edges of the given graph G;

    h decreases weights of edges of G; there exits η(0,1) such that for all ξ,ζΨ with (ξ,ζ)G, we have φ(h(ξ),h(ζ))ηφ(ξ,η).

    A directed path between ξ and ζ of length N in graph G is a finite sequence {ξn}(n{0,1,2,...,}) of vertices such that ξ0=ξ, ξ=ζ and (ξi1,ξi)E(G) for i{1,2,...,}. Remember that a graph G is said to be connected if there is a directed path between every pair of vertex that is from every vertex to any other vertex whereas it is said to be weakly connected if ˜G is connected, where ˜G represents the undirected graph acquired from G by neglecting the direction of edges.

    The graph obtained by reversing the direction of edges is denoted by G1, furthermore for the sake of convenience we treat ˜G as a directed graph for which the set of its edges is symmetric.

    In V(G) we define the relation R in the following way. For ξ,ζV(G), ξRζ if and only if, there is a path in G from ξ to ζ. Let h:ΨΨ be an operator, then by Fh we represent the set of all fixed points of h. Set

    Ψh:={ξΨ:(ξ,h(ξ))E(G)}.

    A metric space (Ψ,φ) equipped with a directed graph G is said to possess the property (P) [23]:

    (P) if for any sequence {ξn}Ψ satisfying ξnξ as n and ( ξn,ξn+1)E(G), we have (ξn,ξ)E(G).

    Theorem 2.2. [23] Let (Ψ,φ) be a complete metric space and G a directed graph such that V(G)=Ψ and h:ΨΨ a G- contraction. Assume that E(G) and the triplet (Ψ,φ,G) possess property (P). Then the following statements hold.

    Fh if and only if Ψh;

    if Ψh and G is weakly connected, then h is a Picard operator, that is Fh={ξ} and sequence {hn(ξ)}ξ as n for all ξΨ;

    for any ξΨh, h|[ξ]˜G is picard operator;

    if ΨhE(G) then h is weakly picard operator, that is Fh and for each ξΨ, we have sequence {hn(ξ)}ξFh as n.

    Recall that a crisp set Λ in Ψ is determined by its characteristic function χΛ:Λ{0,1} interpreted as

    χΛ(x)={1,if ξΛ0,ifxΛ.

    The value of χΛ at ξ indicates whether an element ξ belongs to Λ or not. A fuzzy set is illustrated by allowing a mapping χΛ to assume any possible value in the interval [0,1]. Thus, a fuzzy set Λ in Ψ is characterized by the function Λ with domain Ψ and values in [0,1]=I. The collection of all fuzzy sets in Ψ is denoted by IΨ. If Λ is a fuzzy set in Ψ, then Λ(ξ) is called the grade or degree of membership of an element ξ in Λ. The α-level set of a fuzzy set Λ is represented by [Λ]α and is explained as follows:

    [Λ]α={¯{ξΛ:Λ(ξ)>0},if α=0,{ξΨ:Λ(ξ)α},if α(0,1].

    Where ˉN represents the closure of the crisp set N.

    Example 2.3. Let Ψ be the set of all individuals in a certain town, and

    Λ={ξΨ|ξisanoldperson}.

    Then, it is more appropriate to identify an individual be an old person by membership function Λ on Ψ because the term "old" is not well defined.

    Example 2.4. Let Ψ={1,2,3,4} be endowed with the usual metric. Let :ΨIΨ be a fuzzy set-valued map, that is, for each ξΨ, (ξ):Ψ[0,1] is a fuzzy set. For instance, for some α(0,1], we may define one of the fuzzy set (1) by

    (1)(t)={α,ift=1α3,ift=2α7,ift=3α9,ift=4.

    In a metric space (Ψ,φ), CB(Ψ) represents a class of all non-empty closed and bounded subsets of Ψ. For Λ,ΥCB(Ψ), the Pompeiu-Hausdorff metric induced by metric φ is defined as

    H(Λ,Υ)=max{supϱΥφ(ϱ,Λ),supκΛφ(κ,Υ)},

    where the distance of a point ξ to the set Υ is defined as

    φ(ξ,Υ)=inf{φ(ξ,ϱ):ϱΥ}.

    Consistent with Abbas et al. [2], let (CB(Ψ),φ) the Pompeiu-Hausdorff metric induced by φ and Δ represents the diagonal of CB(Ψ)×CB(Ψ). Throughout this work, we assume that for any Λ,ΥCB(Ψ), there is an edge between Λ and Υ, which aims that there is an edge between some κΛ and ϱΥ which we represent by (Λ,Υ)E(G). We now identify the directed graph G, called a directed set graph with the pair (V(G),E(G)) if the set V(G) of its vertices coincides with CB(Ψ) and E(G) the set of edges of the graph containing all loops, that is, ΔE(G). In addition, suppose that the graph G has no multiple edges. Moreover, for each Θ,ΦCB(Ψ), the number H(Θ,Φ) is interpreted as the weight of the edge (Θ,Φ) of a directed set graph G.

    We suppose that a directed set graph G has no multiple edge and G is a weighted graph in the meaning that each vertex Θ is given the weight H(Θ,Θ)=0 and each edge (Θ,Φ) is given the weight H(Θ,Φ). Abbas et al. [2] introduced the following (P) property. A directed set graph G is said to possess property

    P: If for any sequence of sets {Ψn} in CB(Ψ) with ΨnΨ as n, there exists an edge between Ψn+1 and Ψn for nN, and it further implies that, there is a subsequence Ψnk of Ψn with an edge between Ψ and Ψnk for nN.

    Definition 2.5. Let Λ,ΥIΨ. Then by definition [Λ]α,[Υ]αΨ.

    1) There is an edge between [Λ]α,[Υ]αΨ for some α(0,1], we aim that there is an edge between some ξ[Λ]α and ζ[Υ]α which we denote by ([Λ]α,[Υ]α)E(G).

    2) There is path between [Λ]α and [Υ]α we aim that there is a path between some ξ[Λ]α and ζ[Υ]α.

    Definition 2.6. Define the set IFc(Ψ) by

    IFc(Ψ)={ΛIΨ:[Λ]αCB(Ψ)}. (2.1)

    A relation R on IFc(Ψ) is interpreted as follows: For Λ,ΥIFc(Ψ),[Λ]αR[Υ]α if there is a path between [Λ]α and [Υ]α for some α(0,1]. The relation R on IFc(Ψ) is said to be transitive. if for some α(0,1] there is path between [Λ]α and [Υ]α and there is a path between [Υ]α and [Ω]α imply that there is a path between [Λ]α and [Ω]α.

    Definition 2.7. Consider the fuzzy set-valued mapping :CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ), the set Ψ is explained as

    Ψ={ΘCB(Ψ):(Θ,[(Θ)]α)E(G)forsomeα(0,1]}.

    Definition 2.8. Let ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) be two fuzzy set-valued mappings. Then ΘCB(Ψ) is said to be a fuzzy coincidence point of and if [(Θ)]α=[(Θ)]α for some α(0,1]. Also a set ACB(Ψ) is said to be a fuzzy fixed point of if there exists α(0,1] such that [(Λ)]α=Λ.

    Note that in our work the set of all fuzzy coincidence points of and is represented by CF(,) and the set of all fuzzy fixed points of is represented by Fuz().

    Definition 2.9. Two fuzzy set-valued maps ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) are called weakly compatible if they commute at their coincidence point.

    Definition 2.10. A subset Γ of CB(Ψ) is said to be complete if for any two fuzzy sets Υ,ΩIFc(X) such that [Υ]α,[Ω]αΓ and there is an edge between [Υ]α and [Ω]α.

    Let ϝ be the collection of all continuous mappings F:R+R that satisfies the following requirements [37]:

    F1) F is strictly increasing, that is, for all κ,ϱR+ with κ<ϱ gives that F(κ)<F(ϱ).

    F2) for every sequence {κn} of positive real numbers,

    limnκn=0

    is equivalent to

    limnF(κn)=,

    F3) there exists k(0,1) such that

    limκ0+κkF(κ)=0.

    Definition 2.11. For some ε>0, a metric space (Ψ,φ) is said to be ε-chainable if for given ξ,ζΨ, there is nN and a finite sequence {ξn} in Ψ such that

    ξ0=ξ, ξn=ζandφ(ξi1,ξi)<εfori=1,2,...,n.

    Lemma 2.12. Let (Ψ,φ) be a metric space if H(Λ,Υ)<ε for Λ,ΦCB(Ψ) then for every κΛ we have an element ϱΥ such that φ(κ,ϱ)<ε.

    Motivated by the work in [25], we introduce the following definition.

    Definition 2.13. Let ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) be fuzzy set-valued maps. The pair (,) is said to be a generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings if the following statements are satisfied for some α(0,1].

    1) For any Θ in CB(Ψ), ([(Θ)]α,Θ)E(G) and (Θ,[Θ]α)E(G).

    2) There is a function τ:R+R+ with lim infηt+τ(η)>0 for all t0 such that for Fϝ there is an edge between Λ and Υ with [(Λ)α][(Υ)]α such that

    τ(M(Λ,Υ))+F(H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α))F(M(Λ,Υ)) (2.2)

    holds, where

    M(Λ,Υ)=max{H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α),H([(Λ)]α,[(Λ)]α),H([(Υ)]α,[(Υ)]α),H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α)+H([(Υ)]α,[(Λ)]α)2}.

    It is important to note that if any pair (,) of set-valued mappings from CB(Ψ) to IFc(Ψ) is a generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings for a graph G, then the pair (,) is also generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings for a graph G1 and ˜G. In addition, a pair (,) of generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings for graph G is also generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings for the graph G0 where G0 is graph with E(G0)=Ψ×Ψ.

    Here, we establish some common fuzzy coincidence and fixed point results for fuzzy set-valued maps on IFc(Ψ) fulfilling generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings conditions.

    Theorem 3.1. Let (Ψ,φ) be a metric space equipped with a directed graph G with V(G)=Ψ, E(G)Δ and the relation R on IFc(Ψ) is transitive. Suppose that ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) is a generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings pair such that the range of contains the range of , then the following statements are satisfied.

    1) CF(,) given that G is weakly connected which holds the property (P) and there exists α(0,1] such that [(Ψ)]α is a complete subspace of IFc(Ψ).

    2) If CF(,) is complete, then the Hausdorff weight assigned to [(Θ)]α and [(Φ)]α is 0 for some α(0,1] and for all Θ,ΦCF(,).

    3) If CF(,) is complete and , are weakly compatible, then Fuz()Fuz() is singleton.

    4) Fuz()Fuz() is complete if and only if Fuz()Fuz() is singleton.

    Proof. To verify (1): Let Λ0 be an arbitrary element in CB(Ψ). As the range of contains the range of , choose Λ1CB(Ψ) such that [(Λ0)]α=[(Λ1)]α. and for Λ2CB(Ψ) such that [S(Λ1)]α=[T(Λ2)]α. Carrying on this procedure, for ΛnCB(X) we get an Λn+1 in CB(Ψ) such that [(Λn)]α=[(Λn+1)]α for all nN.

    By the hypothesis of the theorem it is given that the pair (,) is generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings, therefore for Λn+1,ΛnCB(Ψ) we have (Λn+1,[(Λn+1)]α)E(G) and ([(Λn)]α,Λn)E(G), as [(Λn)]α=[(Λn+1)]α so we have ([(Λn)]α,Λn)=([(Λn+1)]α,Λn)E(G). By using transitivity we have (Λn+1,Λn)E(G).

    Let us suppose that for Λn,Λn+1CB(Ψ) where nN we have [(Λn)]α[(Λn+1)]α with α(0,1], otherwise, for some kN we have [(Λ2k)]α=[(Λ2k+1)]α, Also as [(Λ2k)]α=[(Λ2k+1)]α therefore we can write [(Λ2k+1)]α=[(Λ2k+1)]α and hence Λ2k+1CF(,). Since (Λn+1,Λn)E(G) for all nN, by (2.2) we get

    τ(M(Λn,Λn+1))+F(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))=τ(M(Λn,Λn+1))+F(H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α))F(M(Λn,Λn+1)),

    where

    M(Λn,Λn+1)=max{H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α),H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn)]α),H([(Λn+1)]α,([Λn+1]α)),H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)+H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn)]α)2}=max{H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α),H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn)]α),H([(Λn+2)]α,([Λn+1]α)),H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)+H([(Λn+2)]α,[(Λn)]α)2}max{H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α),H([(Λn+1)]α,([Λn+2]α)),H([(Λn+2)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)+H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn)]α)2}max{H([ϝ(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α),H([(Λn+1)]α,([Λn+2]α))}

    consequently, we get

    τ(M(Λn,Λn+1))+F(H([[(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))F(max{H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α),H([(Λn+1)]α,([Λn+2]α))}).

    If

    max{H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α),H([(Λn+1)]α,([Λn+2]α))}=H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α),

    then we obtain

    τ(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))+F(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))F(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α)).

    This implies that

    F(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))F(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))τ(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))<F(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α)).

    Since F is strictly increasing. So, we have

    H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α)<H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α),

    a contradiction.

    This means that

    max{H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α),H([(Λn+1)]α,([Λn+2]α))}=H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α).

    So, we have

    τ(M(Λn,Λn+1))+F(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))F(max{H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α),H([(Λn+1)]α,([Λn+2]α)})F(H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)),

    that is,

    F(H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α))F(H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α))

    for all nN. Thus {H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)} is a decreasing sequence. We now show that

    limnH([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)=0.

    By the property of τ, there exists c>0 with n0N such that τ(M(Λn,Λn+1))>c for all nn0. Now

    F(H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α))F(H([(Λn1)]α,[(Λn)]α))τ(M(Λn,Λn1))F(H([[(Λn2)]α,[(Λn1)]α))τ(M(Λn1,Λn))τ(M(Λn2,Λn1))....F(H([(Λ0)]α,[(Λ1)]α))[τ(M(Λn1,Λn))+τ(M(Λn2,Λn1))+...+τ(M(Λ0,Λ1))]F(H([(Λ0)]α,[(Λ1)]α))nc,

    this means that

    limnF(H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α))=.

    By (F2), we get

    limn0H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)=0.

    Now by (F3), there exists h(0,1) such that

    limn[H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]hF(H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)=0.

    Consider

    [H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]hF(H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)[H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]hF(H([(Λ0)]α,[(Λ1)]α)[H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]h[F(H([(Λ0)]α,[(Λ1)]α)nc][H([(Λn)]α,[(Ψn+1)]α)]hF(H([(Λ0)]α,[(Λ1)]α)nc[H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]h0,

    Now applying limit as n gives that

    limnn[H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]h=0,

    which means that

    limnn1h[H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]=0.

    Thus, there exists n1N such that

    n1h[H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]1

    for all nn1. So we get

    [H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1)]α)]1n1h

    for all nn1. For m,nN with m>nn1, we have

    H([(Λn)]α,[(Λm]α)H([(Λn)]α,[(Λn+1]α)+H([(Λn+1)]α,[(Λn+2)]α),+....+H([(Λm1)]α,[(Λm]α)i=n1i1h.

    As the series i=11i1h converges, so we have that H([(An)]α,[(Λm)]α0 as n,m. Hence {[(Λn)]α} proves to be a Cauchy sequence in [(Ψ)]α. The completeness of ([(Ψ)]α,φ) in IFc(Ψ) implies that [(Λn)]αΦ as n for some ΦIFc(Ψ). Also Θ in CB(Ψ) can be found such that [(Θ)]α=Φ.

    Let us suppose that [(Θ)]α=[(Θ)]α. Otherwise, as ([(Λn+1)]α,([(Λn)]α)E(G), by property (P), there exists a subsequence [(Λnk+1)]α of [(Λn+1)]α such that ([(Θ)]α,(Λnk+1)]α)E(G) for every nN. As (Θ,[(Θ)]α)E(G) and ([(Λnk+1)]α,Λnk)=([(Λnk)]α,Λnk)E(G), we have (Θ,Λnk)E(G). Since the pair (,) is generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings, so we get

    τ(M(Θ,Λnk))+F(H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk+1)]α)=τ(M(Θ,Λnk))+F(H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk)]α)F(M(Θ,Λnk)),

    where

    M(Θ,Λnk))=max{H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk)]α),H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α),H([(Λnk)]α,[(Λnk)]α,H([(Θ)]α,[(Λnk)]α)+H([(Θ)]α,[(Λnk]α)2}=max{H(Θ,[(Λnk)]α),H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α),H([(Λnk+1)]α,[(Λnk)]α),(H([(Θ)]α,[(Λnk)]α)+H([(Θ)]α,[(Λnk+1)]α)2}.

    Now we consider the following cases:

    1) In case M(Θ,Λnk))=H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk)]α), then we have

    F(H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk+1)]α)=F(H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk)]α)τ(H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk)]α)),

    applying an upper limit as k gives

    F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α))<F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α)),

    a contradiction.

    2) When M(Θ,Λnk))=H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α), then

    F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α))F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α))τ(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α)),

    a contradiction.

    3) If M(Θ,Λnk))=H([(Λnk+1)]α,[(Λnk)]α), then we have that

    F(H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk+1)]α)=F(H([(Λnk+1)]α,[(Λnk)]α))τ(H([(Λnk+1)]α,[(Λnk)]α)),

    applying an upper limit as k gives

    F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α))<F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α)),

    a contradiction.

    4) Lastly, if we take M(Θ,Λnk))=H([(Θ)]α,[(Λnk]α)+H([(Λnk+1)]α,[(Θ)]α))2,

    so, we have

    ([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk)]α=F(H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk)]α+H([(Λnk+1)]α,[(Θ)]α)2)τ(H([(Θ)]α),[(Λnk)]α+H([(Λnk+1)]α,[(Θ)]α)2),

    applying an upper limit as k gives

    (H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α))F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α))+H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α2)τ(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α)+(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α)2)
    <F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α)2),

    a contradiction.

    All cases show that [(Θ)]α=[(Θ)]α, that is, ΘCF(,).

    To verify (2): Let Θ,ΦCF(,). Assume on contrary that the Pompeiu-Hausdorff weight assign to the [(Θ)]α and [(Φ)]α is not zero. Since the pair (,) is generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings, we have

    τ(M(Θ,Φ))+F(H([(Θ)]α),[(Φ)]α))F((M(Θ,Φ)),

    where

    M(Θ,Φ)=max{H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α),H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α),H([(Φ)]α,[(Φ)]α),H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α)+H([(Φ)]α,[(Θ)]α2)}=max{H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α),H([(Θ)]α),[(Θ)]α),H([(Φ)]α,[(Φ)]α),H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α)+H([(Φ)]α,[(Θ)]α2)}=H([(Φ)]α,[(Θ)]α).

    Hence

    F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α)F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α))τ(H([(Θ)]α,[Φ)]α))
    <F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α))

    a contradiction. Consequently (2) is verified.

    To verify (3): First we are to prove that Fuz()Fuz() is nonempty. If =[S(Θ)]α=[T(Θ)]α, then we get [()]α=[([(Θ)]α)]α=[[(Θ)]α]α=[S()]α which implies that CF(,). Hence the Pompeiu-Hausdorff weight assign to [(Θ)]α and [S()]α is zero by (2). Thus =[()]α=[()]α that is Fuz()Fuz(). As CF(,) is a singleton set, so that Fuz()Fuz() is also singleton.

    Finally, we verify (4): Let us assume that the set Fuz()Fuz() is complete. Now need to show that Fuz()Fuz() is singleton. On contrary, assume that there exists Θ,ΦCB(Ψ) such that Θ,ΦFuz(T)Fuz() and ΘΦ. By completeness of Fuz()Fuz(), there exists an edge between Θ and Φ. As the pair (,) is generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings, so we get

    τ(M(Θ,Φ))+F(H(Θ,Φ))=τ(M(Θ,Φ))+F(H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α))F(M(Θ,Φ)),

    where

    M(Θ,Φ)=max{H([(Θ)]α),([(Φ)]α),H([(Θ)]α,[(Θ)]α),H([(Φ)]α,[(Φ)]α),H([(Θ)]α,[(Φ)]α)+H([(Φ)]α,[(Θ)]α2}=max{H(Θ,Φ),H(Θ,Θ),H(Φ,Φ),H(Θ,Φ)+H(Φ,Θ)2}=H(Φ,Θ).

    Thus

    F(H(Θ,Φ))F(H(Θ,Φ))τ(H(Θ,Φ)),

    a contradiction. Hence Θ=Φ. Conversely, if Fuz()Fuz() is a singleton, then since E(G)Δ, implies Fuz()Fuz() is a complete set.

    Example 3.2. Let Ψ={2n:n{1,2,3,...,m}}=V(G), m1, E(G)={(i,j)Ψ×Ψ:i<j} and φ:V(G)×V(G)R+ be defined by

    φ(ξ,ζ)={0ifξ=ζ12nifξ{2,4}withξζ2n2n+1otherwise.

    Moreover, the Pompeiu-Hausdorff metric is stated by

    H(Λ,Υ)={12nifΛ,Υ{2,4}withΛΥ2n2n+1ifΛorΥ(orboth){2,4}withΛΥ0ifΛ=Υ.

    The Pompeiu-Hausdorff weights (forn=4) assigned to Λ,ΥCB(Ψ) are exhibited in Figure 1.

    Figure 1.  The Pompeiue-Hausdorff weights (n=4).

    Now we define ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) as follows.

    For Θ{2,4},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2}12ifΦ{2}0elswhere.

    For Θ{2,4},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2,4}12ifΦ{2,4}0elswhere.

    Now

    [(Θ)]1={Φ:(Θ)(Φ)=1}={{2}ifΘ{2,4}{2,4}ifΘ{2,4}.

    And for Θ={2},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2}12ifΦ{2}0elswhere.

    For Θ{4,6},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2,4,6}12ifΦ{2,4,6}0elswhere.

    and for Θ{2,4,6},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2,4,6,...,2n}12ifΦ{2,4,6,...,2n}0elswhere.

    Now

    [(Θ)]1={Φ:(Θ)(Φ)=1}={{2}ifΘ={2}{2,4,6}ifΘ{4,6}{2,4,6...,2n}ifΘ{2,4,6}.

    Note that for all ΦCB(Ψ), (Φ,[(Φ)]α)E(G) and (Φ,[(Φ)]α)E(G).

    Take

    F(β)=ln(β)+β

    and

    τ(t)={811ift[0,1]ln(1+2t)ift>1.

    Now for Θ1,Θ2CB(Ψ) with [(Θ1)]α[S(Θ2)]α, consider the following cases:

    (1) For α=1 and Θ1{2,4} and Θ2={6} with (Θ1,Θ2)E(G), we have

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)M(Θ1,Θ2)

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    H([{2},{2,4})eH([{2},{2,4})H([{2},{2,4,6})<12ne12n2n2n+1

    <2n2n+1e811=e8112n2n+1

    =e811H({2,4},{2,4,6})

    =e811H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    eτ(M(Θ1,Θ2))M(Θ1,Θ2).

    (2) For α=1 and Θ1{2,4} and Θ2{2,4,6} with (Θ1,Θ2)E(G) then consider

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)M(Θ1,Θ2)

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    H([{2},{2,4})eH([{2},{2,4})H([{2,4},{2,4,6...,2n})

    <12ne12n2n2n+1<2n2n+1e811=e8112n2n+1

    =e811H({2,4},{2,4,6...2n})

    =e811H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    eτ(M(Θ1,Θ2))M(Θ1,Θ2).

    (3) For α=1 and Θ1={6} and Θ2{2,4} with (Θ1,Θ2)E(G) then consider

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)M(Θ1,Θ2)

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    H([{2,4},{2})eH([{2,4},{2})H([{2,4},{2,4,6})<12ne12n2n2n+1

    <2n2n+1e811=e811H({2,4},{2,4,6})

    =e811H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ1)]1)

    eτ(M(Θ1,Θ2))M(Θ1,Θ2).

    (4) For α=1 and Θ1{2,4,6} and U2{2,4} with (Θ1,Θ2)E(G) then consider

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)M(Θ1,Θ2)

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    H([{2,4},{2})eH([{2,4},{2})H([{2,4},{2,4,6...,2n})

    <12ne12n2n2n+1<2n2n+1e811

    =e8112n2n+1=e811H({2,4},{2,4,6,...,2n})

    =e811H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ1)]1)

    eτ(M(Θ1,Θ2))M(Θ1,Θ2).

    Hence, for all Θ1,Θ2CB(Ψ) having edge between Θ1 and Θ2, (2.2) is satisfied. Thus all the conditions of Theorem 3.1 are satisfied. Furthermore {2} is the common fuzzy fixed point of and , and Fuz()Fuz() is complete.

    The following Example will show that it is not necessary the given graph (V(G),E(G)) will always be complete.

    Example 3.3. Let Ψ={2n:n{1,2,3,...,m}}=V(G), m3, E(G)={(2,2),(4,4),(6,6),...,(2n,2n),(2,4),(2,6),...,(2,2n)} and φ:V(G)×V(G)R+ and Pompeiu-Hausdorff metric are same as explained in Example 3. The Pompieu Hausdorff weights for (n=4) assigned to Λ,ΥCB(Ψ) are exhibited in the Figure 2.

    Figure 2.  The Pompeiu-Haudorff weights (n=4) assigned to Λ,ΥCB(Ψ).

    Now we define ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) as follows.

    For Θ={2},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2}12ifΦ{2}0elswhere.

    For Θ{2},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2,4}12ifΦ{2,4}0elswhere.

    Now

    [(Θ)]1={Φ:(Θ)(Φ)=1}={{2}ifΘ={2}{2,4}ifΘ{2}.

    Also for Θ={2},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2}12ifΦ{2}0elswhere.

    and for Θ{2},

    (Θ)(Φ)={1ifΦ={2,4,6,...,2n}12ifΦ{2,4,6,...,2n}0elswhere.

    Now

    [(Θ)]1={Φ:(Θ)(Φ)=1}={{2}ifΘ={2}{2,4,6,...,2n}ifΘ{2}.

    Note that for all ΦCB(Ψ), (Φ,[(Φ)]α)E(G) and (Φ,[(Φ)]α)E(G).

    Take

    F(β)=ln(β)+β

    and

    τ(t)={23ift[0,1]ln(1+t2)ift>1.

    Now, we consider the following cases:

    (1) For α=1 and Θ1={2} and Θ2{2} with (Θ1,Θ2)E(G) then consider

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)M(Θ1,Θ2)

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    <12ne12n2n2n+1<2n2n+1e23=e232n2n+1

    =e23H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    eτ(M(Θ1,Θ2))M(Θ1,Θ2).

    (2) For α=1 and Θ1{2} and Θ2={2} with (Θ1,Θ2)E(G) then consider H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)M(Θ1,Θ2)

    H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)eH([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ2)]1)H([(Θ1)]1,[(Θ1)]1)

    <12ne12n2n2n+1<2n2n+1e23

    =e232n2n+1=e23H([(Θ2)]1,[(Θ2)]1)

    eτ(M(Θ1,Θ2))M(Θ1,Θ2).

    Hence for all Θ1,Θ2CB(Ψ) having an edge between Θ1 and Θ2, (2.2) is fulfilled. Hence all the conditions of Theorem 3.1 are fulfilled. Furthermore, and have a common fuzzy fixed point and Fuz()Fuz() is complete in CB(Ψ).

    Theorem 3.4. Let (Ψ,φ) be an ε-chainable complete metric space for ε>0 and ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) be fuzzy set valued-mappings. Assume that for all Λ,ΥCB(Ψ) and α(0,1] such that 0<H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α)<ε, there exists a mapping τ:R+R+ with

    lim infρt+τ(ρ)>0

    for all t>0 such that

    τ(M(Λ,Υ))+F(H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α)F(M(Λ,Υ))

    holds, where Fϝ and

    M(Λ,Υ)=max{H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α),H([(Λ)]α,[(Λ)]α),H([(Υ)]α,[(Υ)]α),H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α)+H([(Υ)]α,[(Λ)]α)2}.

    Then and possess common fuzzy fixed point provided that and are weakly compatible.

    Proof. We are given that ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) be fuzzy set valued-mappings and 0<H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α)<ε this implies that H(Λ,Υ)<ε, now by Lemma 2.12 for each κΛ, an element ϱΥ can be chosen such that φ(κ,ϱ)<ε. Consider the graph G with V(G)=Ψ and E(G)={(κ,ϱ)Ψ×Ψ:0<φ(κ,ϱ)<ε}.

    Then ε-chainablity of (Ψ,φ) means that G is connected, the connectedness implies that for Λ,ΥCB(Ψ) we have (Λ,Υ)E(G), therefore by hypothesis of the theorem we have

    τ(M(Λ,Υ))+F(H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α))F(M(Λ,Υ))

    holds, where Fϝ and

    M(Λ,Υ)=max{H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α),H([(Λ)]α,[(Λ)]α),H([(Υ)]α,[(Υ)]α),H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α)+H([(Υ)]α,[()]α)2}.

    This shows that the pair (,) is generalized graphic fuzzy F-contractive mappings. Also G has (P) property. Indeed if {Ψn} is in CB(Ψ) with ΨnΨ as n and (Ψn,Ψn+1)E(G) for nN means that there is subsequence {Ψnk} of {Ψn} such that (Ψnk,Ψ)E(G) for nN. By employing Theorem 3.1(3), and possess a common fuzzy fixed point.

    Corollary 3.5. Let (Ψ,φ) be a metric space equipped with a directed graph G with V(G)=Ψ and E(G)Δ. Assume that :CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) holds the following:

    1) For every Φ in CB(Ψ), (Φ,[(Φ)]α)E(G).

    2) there exists a τ:R+R+ with

    lim infρ t+τ(ρ)>0

    for all t0 there is an edge between Λ, ΥCB(Ψ) with [(Λ)]α[(Υ)]α such that

    τ(M(Λ,Υ))+F(H([(Λ)]α,[(Υ)]α))F(M(Λ,Υ))

    holds, where Fϝ

    M(Λ,Υ)=max{H((Λ,Υ),H(Λ,[(Λ)]α),H([Υ,[(Υ)]α),H(Λ,[(Υ)]α)+H(Υ,[(Λ)]α)2}.

    Then following statements satisfy.

    (i) Fuz() is complete, then the Pompeiu-Hausdorff weight assigned to the Θ,ΦFuz() is 0.

    (ii) If the weakly connected graph G satisfies the property P, then has fuzzy fixed point.

    (iii) Fuz() is complete if and only if Fuz() is singleton.

    Proof. Take =I (Identity map) in (2.2), then the Corollary 3.5 follows from Theorem 3.1.

    Remark 3.6. Next, we deduce some consequences and comparative results of our main Theorem in the frame work of both single-valued and set-valued mappings. First we present set-valued analogues of Theorem 3.1.

    Corollary 3.7. Let (Ψ,φ) be a metric space equipped with a directed graph G with V(G)=Ψ, E(G)Δ and the relation R on IFc(Ψ) is transitive. Suppose that S,T:CB(Ψ)CB(Ψ) be set-valued mappings with S(Ψ)T(Ψ) and following statements are satisfied.

    1) For any U in CB(Ψ), (S(U),U)E(G) and (U,T(U))E(G).

    2) There is a function τ:R+R+ with lim infηt+τ(η)>0 for all t0 such that for Fϝ there is an edge between A and B with S(A)S(B) such that

    τ(M(A,B))+F(H(S(A),S(B)))F(M(A,B))

    holds, where

    M(A,B)=max{H(T(A),T(B)),H(S(A),T(A)),H(S(B),[T(B)),H(S(A),T(B))+H(S(B),T(A))2}.

    Then the following statements hold

    (i) CP(S,T) given that G is weakly connected which holds the property (P) and T(Ψ) is a complete subspace of CB(Ψ).

    (ii) If CP(S,T) is complete, then the Hausdorff weight assigned to S(U) and S(V) is 0 for some and for all Θ,ΦCP(S,T).

    (iii) If CP(S,T) is complete and S, T are weakly compatible, then Fix(S)Fix(T) is singleton.

    (iv) Fix(S)Fix(T) is complete if and only if Fix(S)Fix(T) is singleton.

    Proof. Consider the mappings ω,ι:Ψ(0,1] and fuzzy set-valued maps ,:CB(Ψ)IFc(Ψ) defined by

    (Λ)(B)={ωx,if B={S(A)}0,ifB{S(A)}.

    and

    (Υ)(C)={ιy,if C={T(B)}0,ifC{T(B)}.

    Now for α(x)=ωx(0,1] for all xΨ, we have

    [Λ]α(x)={BCB(Ψ):(Λ)(B)α(x)}={S(A)}

    and for α(y)=ιy(0,1] for all yΨ, we have

    [B]α(y)={CCB(Ψ):(y)(C)α(y)}={T(B)}.

    Consequently by using Theorem 3.1, the result follows.

    Remark 3.8. Let f,g:XX be self mappings, by Ff,Fg we mean the set of all fixed points of f,g, respectively, while by cp(f,g) we mean the set of coincidence points of f and g. With this setting, we obtain the following result for single-valued maps.

    Corollary 3.9. Let (Ψ,φ) be a metric space equipped with a directed graph G with V(G)=Ψ, E(G)Δ and the relation R on Ψ is transitive. Let f,g:ΨΨ be self maps satisfy the following.

    1) For any μ in Ψ, (f(μ),μ)E(G) and (μ,g(μ)E(G).

    2) There is a function τ:R+R+ with lim infηt+τ(η)>0 for all t0 such that for Fϝ there is an edge between a and b with f(a)f(b) such that

    τ(M(a,b))+F(φ(f(a),f(b)))F(M(a,b))

    holds, where

    M(a,b)=max{φ(g(a),g(b)),φ(f(a),g(a)),φ(f(b),g(b)),φ(f(a),g(b))+φ(f(b),g(a))2}.

    Then the following statements satisfy with f(Ψ)g(Ψ).

    i) cp(f,g) given that G is weakly connected which holds the property (P) and f(Ψ) is a complete subspace of Ψ.

    ii) If cp(f,g) is complete, then f(μ)=f(ν) for all μ,νcp(f,g).

    iii) If cp(f,g) is complete and f, g are weakly compatible, then FfFg is singleton.

    iv) FfFg is complete if and only if FfFg is singleton.

    Proof. Consider the mappings ω,ι:Ψ(0,1] and a fuzzy set-valued maps ,:CB(Ψ)IFcΨ defined by

    (Λ)(B)={ωx,if B={fx}0,ifB{fx}

    and

    (Υ)(D)={ιy,if D={gy}0,ifD{gy}.

    Now for α(x)=ωx(0,1] for all xΨ, we have

    [Λ]α(x)={BΨ:(Λ)(B)α(x)}={fx}

    and for α(y)=ιy(0,1] for all yΨ, we have

    [Υ]α(y)={DΨ:(Υ)(D)α(y)}={gy}.

    Clearly {fx},{gy}CB(Ψ) for all x,yΨ. Also, note that in this case H([(Λ)]α(x),[(Υ)]α(y))=φ(fx,gy) for all x,yΨ. Consequently, by using Theorem 3.1, the result follows.

    Consider the following nonlinear integral equation:

    x(t)=f1(t)f2(t)+μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s))ds+λak(t,s)h(s,x(s))ds (4.1)

    for all t[0,), where f1,f2L[a,) are known such that f1(t)f2(t), and m(t,s),k(t,s),g(s,s(x)),h(s,y(s)) are real or complex valued function that are measurable both in t and s on [0,) and λ,μ are real or complex numbers. These functions satisfy the following.

    (C1) asupas|m(t,s)|dt=M1<;

    (C2) asupas|k(t,s)|dt=M2<;

    (C3)g(s,x(s))L[a,) for all xL[a,) and there exists K1>0 such that for all s[a,),

    |g(s,x(s))g(s,y(s))|K1|x(s)y(s)|, for all x,yL[a,);

    (C4)h(s,x(s))L[a,) for all xL[a,) and there exists K2>0 such that for all s[a,),

    |h(s,x(s))h(s,y(s))|K2|x(s)y(s)|, for all x,yL[a,).

    The existence theorem regarding the solution of above nonlinear integral equation can be formulated as follows:

    Theorem 4.1. With the assumption (C1)(C4) if the following conditions are also satisfied.

    (a)λak(t,s)h(s,μsam(s,τ)g(τ,x(τ))dτ+f1(s)f2(s))ds=0.

    (b) For xL[a,),

    μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s))ds=x(t)f1(t)+f2(t)λak(t,s)h(s,x(s))ds=Γ(t)L[a,).

    (c) For Γ(t)L[a,) there exists Θ(t)L[a,) such that

    μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s)Γ(t))dsf2(t)=f1(t)+λak(t,s)h(s,x(s)Γ(t)f2(t))ds=Θ(t),

    then the Eq (4.1) has a unique solution in L[a,) for the pair of real or complex numbers λ and μ with |λ|K2M2<1 and |μ|K1M11|λ|K2M2=α<1.

    Proof. For x(t)L[a,), we define

    fx(t)=μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s))dsf2(t)),hx(t)=f1(t)+λak(t,s)h(s,x(s))dsgx(t)=(Ih)x(t),

    where f1,f2L[0,) are known and I is the identity operator on L[0,). Then f,g, and h are self maps on L[a,). Indeed, we have

    |fx(t)||μ|a|m(t,s)g(s,x(s))|ds+|f2(t)||μ|supas<|m(t,s)|a|g(s,x(s))|ds+|f2(t)|

    and by using (C1) and (C3), we obtain

    a|fx(t)|dt|μ|asupas<|m(t,s)|dta|g(s,x(s))|ds+a|f2(t)|dt<

    and hence fxL[a,). For mapping h, we apply the conditions (C2) and (C4) to obtain

    a|hx(t)|dta|f1(t)|dt+|λ|asupas<|k(t,s)|dta|h(s,x(s))|ds<.

    Hence hL[a,) and so, g is also the self map on L[a,). Now, by using (C2) and (C3), we have for all x,yL[a,) that

    fxfy=a|fx(t)fy(t)|dt=a|μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s))dsμtam(t,s)g(s,y(s))ds|dt=a|μtam(t,s)[g(s,x(s))g(s,y(s))]ds|dta|μ|supas<|m(t,s)||a[g(s,x(s))g(s,y(s))]ds|dt=|μ|K1M1a|x(t)y(t)|ds|μ|K1M1xy. (4.2)

    Similarly, by (C2) and (C4), we get

    hxhy|λ|K2M2xy.

    Hence we have

    gxgy=(Ih)x(Ih)y=(xy)(hxhy)xyhxhyxy|λ|K2M2xy(1|λ|K2M2)xy,

    which implies that

    xy11|λ|K2M2gxgy. (4.3)

    From Eqs (4.2) and (4.3), we obtain

    fxfy|μ|K1M1xy|μ|K1M111|λ|K2M2gxgy=|μ|K1M11|λ|K2M2gxgy=αgxgy. (4.4)

    Now we prove that f(L[a,))g(L[a,)) so let x(t)L[a,) be arbitrary. Then we have

    g(fx(t)+f1(t))=(Ih)(fx(t)+f1(t))=fx(t)+f1(t)f1(t)λak(t,s)h(s,fx(s)+f1(s))ds=fx(t)λak(t,s)h(s,μsam(s,τ)g(τ,x(τ))dτ+f1(s)f2(s))ds=fx(t),

    by assumption (a) of the Theorem.

    Now we prove that the pair (f,g) is weakly compitable. For this, we have

    gfx(t)fgx(t)=(Ih)fx(t)f(Ih)x(t)=fx(t)hfx(t)fx(t)+fhx(t)=fhx(t)hfx(t). (4.5)

    Now for fx(t)=gx(t), we have

    μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s))dsf2(t)=x(t)f1(t)λak(t,s)h(s,x(s))ds.

    Therefore from (4.5), we get

    gfx(t)fgx(t)=fh(f1(t)f2(t)+λak(t,s)h(s,x(s))ds+μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s))ds)hf(f1(t)f2(t)+λak(t,s)h(s,x(s))ds+μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s))ds)=f(f1(t)+λak(t,s)h(s,x(s))Γ(s)ds)h(μtam(t,s)g(s,x(s)Γ(s))dsf2(t))=f2(t)+tam(t,s)g(s,f1(s)+λak(s,τ)h(τ,x(τ)Γ(τ))dτ)dsf1(t)λak(t,s)h(s,μsam(s,τ)g(τ,x(τ)f2(τ)Γ(τ))dτ)ds=0.

    This shows that maps f and g are weakly compitable. Thus all the conditions of Corollary 3.9 is satisfied. Consequently, there exists a unique xL[a,) such that fx=gx=x that is the unique solution of Eq (4.1).

    The results of this paper broadened the scope of fuzzy fixed point theory and fixed point theory of multi valued mappings by incorporating the generalized fuzzy graphic F-contraction approaches. The ideas in this work, being discussed in the setting of metric spaces, are completely fundamental. Hence, they can be made better, when presented in the framework of generalized metric spaces such as b-metric spaces, G-metric spaces, F-metric spaces and some other pseudo-metric or quasi metric spaces. Also, the fuzzy set-valued map's component can be extended to L-fuzzy mappings, intuitionist fuzzy mappings, soft set-valued maps, and so on.
