1.   Introduction and preliminaries

Let $W$ be a set and $H:W\longrightarrow W$ be a mapping. A point $w\in W$ is called a fixed point of $H\ $if $w = Hw.$ Fixed point theory plays a fundamental role in functional analysis (see ^[15]). Shoaib ^[17] introduced the concept of $\alpha$-dominated mapping and obtained some fixed point results (see also ^[1,2]). George et al. ^[11] introduced a new space and called it rectangular $b$-metric space ($r.b.m.$ space). The triangle inequality in the $b$-metric space was replaced by rectangle inequality. Useful results on $r.b.m.$ spaces can be seen in (^[5,6,8,9,10]). Ćirić introduced new types of contraction and proved some metrical fixed point results (see ^[4]). In this article, we introduce Ćirić type rational contractions for $\alpha$ -dominated mappings in $r.b.m.$ spaces and proved some metrical fixed point results. New interesting results in metric spaces, rectangular metric spaces and $b$-metric spaces can be obtained as applications of our results.

Definition 1.1. ^[11] Let $U$ be a nonempty set. A function $d_{lb}:U\times U\rightarrow \lbrack 0, \infty)$ is said to be a rectangular $b$-metric if there exists $b\geq 1$ such that

(ⅰ) $d_{lb}(\theta, \nu) = d_{lb}(\nu, \theta$);

(ⅱ) $d_{lb}(\theta, \nu) = 0$ if and only if $\theta = \nu;$

(ⅲ) $d_{lb}(\theta, \nu)\leq b[d_{lb}(\theta, q)+d_{lb}(q, l)+d_{lb}(l, \nu)]$ for all $\theta, \nu \in U$ and all distinct points $q, l\in U \backslash \{ \theta, \nu \}.$

The pair $(U, d_{lb})$ is said a rectangular $b$-metric space (in short, $r.b.m.$ space) with coefficient $b$.

Definition 1.2. ^[11] Let $(U, d_{lb})$ be an $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b$.

(ⅰ) A sequence $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ in $(U, d_{lb})$ is said to be Cauchy sequence if for each $\varepsilon > 0$, there corresponds $n_{0}\in \mathbb{N}$ such that for all $n, m\geq n_{0}$ we have $d_{lb}(\theta_{m}, \theta_{n}) < \varepsilon$ or $\lim_{n, m\rightarrow +\infty }d_{lb}(\theta_{n}, \theta_{m}) = 0.$

(ⅱ) A sequence $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ is rectangular $b$-convergent (for short, ($d_{lb}$)-converges) to $\theta$ if $\lim_{n\rightarrow +\infty }d_{lb}(\theta _{n}, \theta) = 0.$ In this case $\theta$ is called a ($d_{lb}$)-limit of $\{ \theta _{n}\}.$

(ⅲ) $(U, d_{lb})$ is complete if every Cauchy sequence in $U \; d_{lb}$-converges to a point $\theta \in U$.

Let $\varpi _{b}$, where $b\geq 1,$ denote the family of all nondecreasing functions $\delta _{b}:[0, +\infty)\rightarrow \lbrack 0, +\infty)$ such that $\sum_{k = 1}^{+\infty }b^{k}\delta _{b}^{k}(t) < +\infty$ and $b\delta _{b}(t) < t$ for all $t > 0,$ where $\delta _{b}^{k}$ is the $k^{th}$ iterate of $\delta _{b}.$ Also $b^{n+1}\delta _{b}^{n+1}(t) = b^{n}b\delta _{b}(\delta _{b}^{n}(t)) < b^{n}\delta _{b}^{n}(t).$

Example 1.3. ^[11] Let $U \; = \mathbb{N}.$ Define $d_{lb}:U\times U\rightarrow \mathbb{R} ^{+}\cup \{0\}$ such that $d_{lb}(u, v) = d_{lb}(v, u)$ for all $u, v\in U$ and $\alpha > 0$

Then $(U, d_{lb})$ is an $r.b.m.$ space with $b = 2 > 1.$ Note that

Thus $d_{lb}$ is not a rectangular metric.

Definition 1.4. ^[17] Let $(U, d_{lb})$ be an $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b$. Let $S:U\rightarrow U$ be a mapping and $\alpha :U\times U\rightarrow \lbrack 0, +\infty)$. If $A\subseteq U,$ we say that the $S$ is $\alpha$-dominated on $A,$ whenever $\alpha (i, Si)\geq 1$ for all $i\in A.$ If $A = U$, we say that $S$ is $\alpha$-dominated$.$

For $\theta, \nu \in U$, $a > 0,$ we define $D_{lb}(\theta, \nu)$ as

2.   Main result

Now, we present our main result.

Theorem 2.1. Let $(U, d_{lb})$ be a complete $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b$, $\alpha :U\times U\rightarrow \lbrack 0, \infty), \; S:U\rightarrow U$, $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ be a Picard sequence and $S$ be a $\alpha$-dominated mapping on $\{ \theta_{n}\}.$ Suppose that, for some $\delta _{b}\in \varpi _{b}$, we have

for all $\theta, \nu \in \{ \theta_{n}\}$ with $\alpha (\theta, \nu)\geq 1$. Then $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ converges to $\theta^{\ast }\in U.$ Also, if (2.1) holds for $\theta^{\ast }$ and $\alpha (\theta_{n}, \theta^{\ast })\geq 1$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}$, then $S$ has a fixed point $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U.$

Proof. Let $\theta_{0}\in U$ be arbitrary. Define the sequence $\{ \theta _{n}\}$ by $\theta_{n+1} = S \theta_{n}$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}.$ We shall show that $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ is a Cauchy sequence. If $\theta _{n} = \theta_{n+1},$ for some $n\in \mathbb{N},$ then $\theta_{n}$ is a fixed point of $S$. So, suppose that any two consecutive terms of the sequence are not equal. Since $S:U\rightarrow U$ be an $\alpha$-dominated mapping on $\{ \theta_{n}\}$, $\alpha (\theta _{n}, S \theta_{n})\geq 1$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}$ and then $\alpha (\theta_{n}, \theta_{n+1})\geq 1$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}.$ Now by using inequality (2.1), we obtain

If $\max \{d_{lb}(\theta_{n}, \theta_{n+1}), d_{lb}(\theta_{n+1}, \theta _{n+2})\} = d_{lb}(\theta_{n+1}, \theta_{n+2}),$ then

This is the contradiction to the fact that $b\delta _{b}(t) < t$ for all $t > 0.$ So

Hence, we obtain

Continuing in this way, we obtain

Suppose for some $n, m\in \mathbb{N}$ with $m > n,$ we have $\theta_{n} = \theta_{m}$. Then by (2.2)

As $d_{lb}(\theta_{n}, \theta_{n+1}) > 0,$ so this is not true, because $b\delta _{b}(t) < t$ for all $t > 0.$ Therefore, $\theta_{n}\neq \theta_{m}$ for any $n, m\in \mathbb{N}$. Since $\sum_{k = 1}^{+\infty }b^{k}\delta _{b}^{k}(t) < +\infty,$ for some $\nu \in \mathbb{N},$ the series $\sum_{k = 1}^{+\infty }b^{k}\delta _{b}^{k}(\delta _{b}^{\nu -1}(d_{lb}(\theta_{0}, \theta_{1})))$ converges. As $b\delta _{b}(t) < t,$ so

Fix $\varepsilon > 0.$ Then $\frac{\varepsilon }{2} = \varepsilon ^{\prime } > 0.$ For $\varepsilon ^{\prime },$ there exists $\nu (\varepsilon ^{\prime })\in \mathbb{N}$ such that

Now, we suppose that any two terms of the sequence $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ are not equal. Let $n, m\in \mathbb{N}$ with $m > n > \nu (\varepsilon ^{\prime }).$ Now, if $m > n+2$,

By using (2.3), we have

Now, if $m = n+2$, then we obtain

It follows that

Thus $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ is a Cauchy sequence in $(U, d_{lb})$. As $(U, d_{lb})$ is complete, so there exists $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U$ such that $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ converges to $\theta^{\ast },$ that is,

Now, suppose that $d_{lb}(\theta^{\ast }, S \theta^{\ast }) > 0$. Then

Since $\alpha (\theta_{n}, \theta^{\ast })\geq 1,$ we obtain

Letting $n\rightarrow +\infty$, and using the inequalities (2.4) and (2.5), we obtain $d_{lb}(\theta^{\ast }, S \theta^{\ast })\leq b\delta _{b}(d_{lb}(\theta^{\ast }, S \theta^{\ast })).$ This is not true, because $b\delta _{b}(t) < t$ for all $t > 0$ and hence $d_{lb}(\theta^{\ast }, S \theta^{\ast }) = 0$ or $\theta^{\ast } = S \theta^{\ast }$. Hence $S$ has a fixed point $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U.$

Remark 2.2. By taking fourteen different proper subsets of $D_{lb}(\theta, \nu),$ we can obtainvnew results as corollaries of our result in a complete $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b.$

We have the following result without using $\alpha$-dominated mapping.

Theorem 2.3. Let $(U, d_{lb})$ be a complete $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b, \; S:U\rightarrow U$, $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ be a Picard sequence. Suppose that, for some $\delta _{b}\in \varpi _{b}$, we have

for all $\theta, \nu \in \{ \theta_{n}\}$. Then $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ converges to $\theta^{\ast }\in U.$ Also, if (2.6) holds for $\theta^{\ast }$, then $S$ has a fixed point $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U.$

We have the following result by taking $\delta _{b}\left(t\right) = ct$, $t\in \mathbb{R} ^{+}$ with $0 < c < \frac{1}{b}$ without using $\alpha$-dominated mapping.

Theorem 2.4. Let $(U, d_{lb})$ be a complete $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b$, $S:U\rightarrow U$, $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ be a Picard sequence. Suppose that, for some $0 < c < \frac{1}{b}$, we have

for all $\theta, \nu \in \{ \theta_{n}\}$. Then $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ converges to $\theta^{\ast }\in U.$ Also, if (2.7) holds for $\theta^{\ast }$, then $S$ has a fixed point $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U.$

Ran and Reurings ^[16] gave an extension to the results in fixed point theory and obtained results in partially ordered metric spaces. Arshad et al. ^[3] introduced $\preceq$-dominated mappings and established some results in an ordered complete dislocated metric space. We apply our result to obtain results in ordered complete $r.b.m.$ space.

Definition 2.5. $(U, \preceq, d_{lb})$ is said to be an ordered complete $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b$ if

(ⅰ) $(U, \preceq)$ is a partially ordered set.

(ⅱ) $(U, d_{lb})$ is an $r.b.m.$ space.

Definition 2.6. ^[3] Let $U$ be a nonempty set, $\preceq$ is a partial order on $\theta.$ A mapping $S:U\rightarrow U$ is said to be $\preceq$-dominated on $A$ if $a\preceq Sa$ for each $a\in A\subseteq \theta.$ If $A = U,$ then $S:U\rightarrow U$ is said to be $\preceq$-dominated.

We have the following result for $\preceq$-dominated mappings in an ordered complete $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b$.

Theorem 2.7. Let $(U, \preceq, d_{lb})$ be an ordered complete $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b$, $S:U\rightarrow U, \; \{ \theta_{n}\}$ be a Picard sequence and $S$ be a $\preceq$-dominated mapping on $\{ \theta _{n}\}.$ Suppose that, for some $\delta _{b}\in \varpi _{b}$, we have

for all $\theta, \nu \in \{ \theta_{n}\}$ with $\theta \preceq \nu$. Then $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ converges to $\theta^{\ast }\in U.$ Also, if (2.8) holds for $\theta^{\ast }$ and $\theta_{n}\preceq \theta^{\ast }$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}$. Then $S$ has a fixed point $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U$.

Proof. Let $\alpha :U\times U\rightarrow \lbrack 0, +\infty)$ be a mapping defined by $\alpha (\theta, \nu) = 1$ for all $\theta, \nu \in U$ with $\theta \preceq \nu$ and $\alpha (\theta, \nu) = \frac{4}{11}$ for all other elements $\theta, \nu \in U.$ As $S$ is the dominated mappings on $\{ \theta_{n}\},$ so $\theta \preceq S \theta$ for all $\theta \in \{ \theta_{n}\}.$ This implies that $\alpha (\theta, S \theta) = 1$ for all $\theta \in \{ \theta_{n}\}.$ So $S:U\rightarrow U$ is the $\alpha$-dominated mapping on $\{ \theta_{n}\}.$ Moreover, inequality (2.8) can be written as

for all elements $\theta, \nu$ in $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ with $\alpha (\theta, \nu)\geq 1.$ Then, as in Theorem 2.1, $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ converges to $\theta^{\ast }\in U.$ Now, $\theta_{n}\preceq \theta^{\ast }$ implies $\alpha (\theta_{n}, \theta^{\ast })\geq 1.$ So all the conditions of Theorem 2.1 are satisfied. Hence, by Theorem 2.1, $S$ has a fixed point $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U$.

Now, we present an example of our main result. Note that the results of George et al. ^[11] and all other results in rectangular $b$-metric space are not applicable to ensure the existence of the fixed point of the mapping given in the following example.

Example 2.8. Let $U = A\cup B,$ where $A = \{\frac{1}{n}:n\in \{2, 3, 4, 5\}\}$ and $B = [1, \infty ].$ Define $d_{l}:U\times U\rightarrow \lbrack 0, \infty)$ such that $d_{l}(\theta, \nu) = d_{l}(\nu, \theta)$ for $\theta, \nu \in U$ and

be a complete $r.b.m.$ space with coefficient $b \; = 4 > 1$ but$\ (U, d_{l})$ is neither a metric space nor a rectangular metric space. Take $\delta _{b}(t) = \frac{t}{10},$ then $b\delta _{b}(t) < t.$ Let $S:U\rightarrow U$ be defined as

Let $\theta_{0} = 1.$ Then the Picard sequence $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ is $\{1, \frac{1}{ 3}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{5}, \frac{1}{5}, \cdots \}$. Define

Then $S\ $is an $\alpha$-dominated mapping on $\{ \theta_{n}\}.$ Now, $S$ satisfies all the conditions of Theorem 2.1. Here $\frac{1}{5}$ is the fixed point in $U.$

3.   Fixed point results for graphic contractions

Jachymski ^[13] proved the contraction principle for mappings on a metric space with a graph. Let $(U, d)$ be a metric space and $\bigtriangleup$ represents the diagonal of the cartesian product $U\times U.$ Suppose that $G$ be a directed graph having the vertices set $V(G)$ along with $U,$ and the set $E(G)$ denoted the edges of $U_{{}}$ included all loops, i.e., $E(G)\supseteq \bigtriangleup.$ If $G$ has no parallel edges, then we can unify $G$ with pair $(V(G), E(G))$. If $l$ and $m$ are the vertices in a graph $G,$ then a path in $G$ from $l$ to $m$ of length $N \; (N\in \mathbb{N})$ is a sequence $\{ \theta_{i}\}_{i = o}^{N}$ of $N+1$ vertices such that $l_{o} = l, \; l_{N} = m$ and $(l_{n-1}, l_{n})\in E(G)$ where $i = 1, 2, \cdots N$ (see for detail ^{[7,8,12,14,18,19]}). Recently, Younis et al. ^[20] introduced the notion of graphical rectangular $b$-metric spaces (see also ^[5,6,21]). Now, we present our result in this direction.

Definition 3.1. Let $\theta$ be a nonempty set and $G = (V(G), E(G))$ be a graph such that $V(G) = U$ and $A\subseteq U$. A mapping $S:U\rightarrow U$ is said to be graph dominated on $A$ if $(\theta, S \theta)\in E(G)$ for all $\theta \in A$.

Theorem 3.2. Let $(U, d_{lb})$ be a complete rectangular $b$ -metric space endowed with a graph $G$, $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ be a Picard sequence and $S:U\rightarrow U$ be a graph dominated mapping on $\{ \theta_{n}\}$. Suppose that the following hold:

(i) there exists $\delta _{b}\in \varpi _{b}$ such that

for all $\theta, \nu \in \{ \theta_{n}\}$ and $(\theta_n, \nu)\in E(G)$. Then $(\theta_{n}, \theta_{n+1})\in E(G)$ and $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ converges to $\theta^{\ast }.$ Also, if (3.1) holds for $\theta^{\ast }$ and $(\theta_{n}, \theta^{\ast })\in E(G)$ for all $n\in \mathbb{N} \cup \{0\}$, then $S$ has a fixed point $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U.$

Proof. Define $\alpha :U\times U\rightarrow \lbrack 0, +\infty)$ by

Since $S$ is a graph dominated on $\{ \theta_{n}\},$ for $\theta \in \{ \theta_{n}\}, \; (\theta, S \theta)\in E(G)$. This implies that $\alpha (\theta, S \theta) = 1$ for all $\theta \in \{ \theta_{n}\}.$ So $S:U\rightarrow U$ is an $\alpha$-dominated mapping on $\{ \theta_{n}\}.$ Moreover, inequality (3.1) can be written as

for all elements $\theta, \nu$ in $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ with $\alpha (\theta, \nu)\geq 1.$ Then, by Theorem 2.1, $\{ \theta_{n}\}$ converges to $\theta^{\ast }\in U.$ Now, $(\theta_{n}, \theta^{\ast })\in E(G)$ implies that $\alpha (\theta_{n}, \theta^{\ast })\geq 1.$ So all the conditions of Theorem 2.1 are satisfied. Hence, by Theorem 2.1, $S$ has a fixed point $\theta^{\ast }$ in $U$.
