Let W be a set and H:W⟶W be a mapping. A point w∈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 α-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 α -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 dlb:U×U→[0,∞) is said to be a rectangular b-metric if there exists b≥1 such that
(ⅰ) dlb(θ,ν)=dlb(ν,θ);
(ⅱ) dlb(θ,ν)=0 if and only if θ=ν;
(ⅲ) dlb(θ,ν)≤b[dlb(θ,q)+dlb(q,l)+dlb(l,ν)] for all θ,ν∈U and all distinct points q,l∈U∖{θ,ν}.
The pair (U,dlb) is said a rectangular b-metric space (in short, r.b.m. space) with coefficient b.
Definition 1.2. [11] Let (U,dlb) be an r.b.m. space with coefficient b.
(ⅰ) A sequence {θn} in (U,dlb) is said to be Cauchy sequence if for each ε>0, there corresponds n0∈N such that for all n,m≥n0 we have dlb(θm,θn)<ε or limn,m→+∞dlb(θn,θm)=0.
(ⅱ) A sequence {θn} is rectangular b-convergent (for short, (dlb)-converges) to θ if limn→+∞dlb(θn,θ)=0. In this case θ is called a (dlb)-limit of {θn}.
(ⅲ) (U,dlb) is complete if every Cauchy sequence in Udlb-converges to a point θ∈U.
Let ϖb, where b≥1, denote the family of all nondecreasing functions δb:[0,+∞)→[0,+∞) such that ∑+∞k=1bkδkb(t)<+∞ and bδb(t)<t for all t>0, where δkb is the kth iterate of δb. Also bn+1δn+1b(t)=bnbδb(δnb(t))<bnδnb(t).
Example 1.3. [11] Let U=N. Define dlb:U×U→R+∪{0} such that dlb(u,v)=dlb(v,u) for all u,v∈U and α>0
dlb(u,v)={0, if u=v;10α, if u=1, v=2;α, if u∈{1,2} and v∈{3};2α, if u∈{1,2,3} and v∈{4};3α, if u or v∉{1,2,3,4} and u≠v. |
Then (U,dlb) is an r.b.m. space with b=2>1. Note that
d(1,4)+d(4,3)+d(3,2)=5α<10α=d(1,2). |
Thus dlb is not a rectangular metric.
Definition 1.4. [17] Let (U,dlb) be an r.b.m. space with coefficient b. Let S:U→U be a mapping and α:U×U→[0,+∞). If A⊆U, we say that the S is α-dominated on A, whenever α(i,Si)≥1 for all i∈A. If A=U, we say that S is α-dominated.
For θ,ν∈U, a>0, we define Dlb(θ,ν) as
Dlb(θ,ν)=max{dlb(θ,ν),dlb(θ,Sθ).dlb(ν,Sν)a+dlb(θ,ν),dlb(θ,Sθ),dlb(ν,Sν)}. |
Now, we present our main result.
Theorem 2.1. Let (U,dlb) be a complete r.b.m. space with coefficient b, α:U×U→[0,∞),S:U→U, {θn} be a Picard sequence and S be a α-dominated mapping on {θn}. Suppose that, for some δb∈ϖb, we have
dlb(Sθ,Sν)≤δb(Dlb(θ,ν)), | (2.1) |
for all θ,ν∈{θn} with α(θ,ν)≥1. Then {θn} converges to θ∗∈U. Also, if (2.1) holds for θ∗ and α(θn,θ∗)≥1 for all n∈N∪{0}, then S has a fixed point θ∗ in U.
Proof. Let θ0∈U be arbitrary. Define the sequence {θn} by θn+1=Sθn for all n∈N∪{0}. We shall show that {θn} is a Cauchy sequence. If θn=θn+1, for some n∈N, then θn is a fixed point of S. So, suppose that any two consecutive terms of the sequence are not equal. Since S:U→U be an α-dominated mapping on {θn}, α(θn,Sθn)≥1 for all n∈N∪{0} and then α(θn,θn+1)≥1 for all n∈N∪{0}. Now by using inequality (2.1), we obtain
dlb(θn+1,θn+2)=dlb(Sθn,Sθn+1)≤δb(Dlb(θn,θn+1))≤δb(max{dlb(θn,θn+1),dlb(θn,θn+1).dlb(θn+1,θn+2)a+dlb(θn,θn+1),dlb(θn,θn+1),dlb(θn+1,θn+2)})≤δb(max{dlb(θn,θn+1),dlb(θn+1,θn+2)}). |
If max{dlb(θn,θn+1),dlb(θn+1,θn+2)}=dlb(θn+1,θn+2), then
dlb(θn+1,θn+2)≤δb(dlb(θn+1,θn+2))≤bδb(dlb(θn+1,θn+2)). |
This is the contradiction to the fact that bδb(t)<t for all t>0. So
max{dlb(θn,θn+1),dlb(θn+1,θn+2)}=dlb(θn,θn+1). |
Hence, we obtain
dlb(θn+1,θn+2)≤δb(dlb(θn,θn+1))≤δ2b(dlb(θn−1,θn)) |
Continuing in this way, we obtain
dlb(θn+1,θn+2)≤δn+1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)). | (2.2) |
Suppose for some n,m∈N with m>n, we have θn=θm. Then by (2.2)
dlb(θn,θn+1)=dlb(θn,Sθn)=dlb(θm,Sθm)=dlb(θm,θm+1)≤δm−nb(dlb(θn,θn+1))<bδb(dlb(θn,θn+1)) |
As dlb(θn,θn+1)>0, so this is not true, because bδb(t)<t for all t>0. Therefore, θn≠θm for any n,m∈N. Since ∑+∞k=1bkδkb(t)<+∞, for some ν∈N, the series ∑+∞k=1bkδkb(δν−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1))) converges. As bδb(t)<t, so
bn+1δn+1b(δν−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))<bnδnb(δν−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1))), for all n∈N. |
Fix ε>0. Then ε2=ε′>0. For ε′, there exists ν(ε′)∈N such that
bδb(δν(ε′)−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))+b2δ2b(δν(ε′)−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))+⋯<ε′ | (2.3) |
Now, we suppose that any two terms of the sequence {θn} are not equal. Let n,m∈N with m>n>ν(ε′). Now, if m>n+2,
dlb(θn,θm)≤b[dlb(θn,θn+1)+dlb(θn+1,θn+2)+dlb(θn+2,θm)]≤b[dlb(θn,θn+1)+dlb(θn+1,θn+2)]+b2[dlb(θn+2,θn+3)+dlb(θn+3,θn+4)+dlb(θn+4,θm)]≤b[δnb(dlb(θ0,θ1))+δn+1b(dlb(θ0,θ1))]+b2[δn+2b(dlb(θ0,θ1))+δn+3b(dlb(θ0,θ1))]+b3[δn+4b(dlb(θ0,θ1))+δn+5b(dlb(θ0,θ1))]+⋯≤bδnb(dlb(θ0,θ1))+b2δn+1b(dlb(θ0,θ1))+b3δn+2b(dlb(θ0,θ1))+⋯=bδb(δn−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))+b2δ2b(δn−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))+⋯. |
By using (2.3), we have
dlb(θn,θm)<bδb(δν(ε′)−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))+b2δ2b(δν(ε′)−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))+⋯<ε′<ε. |
Now, if m=n+2, then we obtain
dlb(θn,θn+2)≤b[dlb(θn,θn+1)+dlb(θn+1,θn+3)+dlb(θn+3,θn+2)]≤b[dlb(θn,θn+1)+b[dlb(θn+1,θn+2)+dlb(θn+2,θn+4)+dlb(θn+4,θn+3)]+dlb(θn+3,θn+2)]≤bdlb(θn,θn+1)+b2dlb(θn+1,θn+2)+bdlb(θn+2,θn+3)+b2dlb(θn+3,θn+4)+b3[dlb(θn+2,θn+3)+dlb(θn+3,θn+5)+dlb(θn+5,θn+4)]≤bdlb(θn,θn+1)+b2dlb(θn+1,θn+2)+(b+b3)dlb(θn+2,θn+3)+b2dlb(θn+3,θn+4)+b3dlb(θn+5,θn+4)+b4[dlb(θn+3,θn+4)+dlb(θn+4,θn+6)+dlb(θn+6,θn+5)]≤bdlb(θn,θn+1)+b2dlb(θn+1,θn+2)+(b+b3)dlb(θn+2,θn+3)+(b2+b4)dlb(θn+3,θn+4)+b3dlb(θn+5,θn+4)+b4dlb(θn+6,θn+5)+b5[dlb(θn+4,θn+5)+dlb(θn+5,θn+7)+dlb(θn+7,θn+6)]≤bdlb(θn,θn+1)+b2dlb(θn+1,θn+2)+(b+b3)dlb(θn+2,θn+3)+(b2+b4)dlb(θn+3,θn+4)+(b3+b5)dlb(θn+4,θn+5)+⋯<2[bdlb(θn,θn+1)+b2dlb(θn+1,θn+2)+b3dlb(θn+2,θn+3)+b4dlb(θn+3,θn+4)+b5dlb(θn+4,θn+5)+⋯]≤2[bδnb(dlb(θ0,θ1))+b2δn+1b(dlb(θ0,θ1))+b3δn+2b(dlb(θ0,θ1))+⋯]<2[bδb(δν(ε′)−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))+b2δ2b(δν(ε′)−1b(dlb(θ0,θ1)))+⋯]<2ε′=ε. |
It follows that
limn,m→+∞dlb(θn,θm)=0. | (2.4) |
Thus {θn} is a Cauchy sequence in (U,dlb). As (U,dlb) is complete, so there exists θ∗ in U such that {θn} converges to θ∗, that is,
limn→+∞dlb(θn,θ∗)=0. | (2.5) |
Now, suppose that dlb(θ∗,Sθ∗)>0. Then
dlb(θ∗,Sθ∗)≤b[dlb(θ∗,θn)+dlb(θn,θn+1)+dlb(θn+1,Sθ∗)≤b[dlb(θ∗,θn+1)+dlb(θn,θn+1)+dlb(Sθn,Sθ∗). |
Since α(θn,θ∗)≥1, we obtain
dlb(θ∗,Sθ∗)≤bdlb(θ∗,θn+1)+bdlb(θn,θn+1)+bδb(max{dlb(θn,θ∗),dlb(θ∗,Sθ∗).dlb(θn,θn+1)a+dlb(θn,θ∗), dlb(θn,θn+1) dlb(θ∗,Sθ∗)}). |
Letting n→+∞, and using the inequalities (2.4) and (2.5), we obtain dlb(θ∗,Sθ∗)≤bδb(dlb(θ∗,Sθ∗)). This is not true, because bδb(t)<t for all t>0 and hence dlb(θ∗,Sθ∗)=0 or θ∗=Sθ∗. Hence S has a fixed point θ∗ in U.
Remark 2.2. By taking fourteen different proper subsets of Dlb(θ,ν), 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 α-dominated mapping.
Theorem 2.3. Let (U,dlb) be a complete r.b.m. space with coefficient b,S:U→U, {θn} be a Picard sequence. Suppose that, for some δb∈ϖb, we have
dlb(Sθ,Sν)≤δb(Dlb(θ,ν)) | (2.6) |
for all θ,ν∈{θn}. Then {θn} converges to θ∗∈U. Also, if (2.6) holds for θ∗, then S has a fixed point θ∗ in U.
We have the following result by taking δb(t)=ct, t∈R+ with 0<c<1b without using α-dominated mapping.
Theorem 2.4. Let (U,dlb) be a complete r.b.m. space with coefficient b, S:U→U, {θn} be a Picard sequence. Suppose that, for some 0<c<1b, we have
dlb(Sθ,Sν)≤c(Dlb(θ,ν)) | (2.7) |
for all θ,ν∈{θn}. Then {θn} converges to θ∗∈U. Also, if (2.7) holds for θ∗, then S has a fixed point θ∗ 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 ⪯-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,⪯,dlb) is said to be an ordered complete r.b.m. space with coefficient b if
(ⅰ) (U,⪯) is a partially ordered set.
(ⅱ) (U,dlb) is an r.b.m. space.
Definition 2.6. [3] Let U be a nonempty set, ⪯ is a partial order on θ. A mapping S:U→U is said to be ⪯-dominated on A if a⪯Sa for each a∈A⊆θ. If A=U, then S:U→U is said to be ⪯-dominated.
We have the following result for ⪯-dominated mappings in an ordered complete r.b.m. space with coefficient b.
Theorem 2.7. Let (U,⪯,dlb) be an ordered complete r.b.m. space with coefficient b, S:U→U,{θn} be a Picard sequence and S be a ⪯-dominated mapping on {θn}. Suppose that, for some δb∈ϖb, we have
dlb(Sθ,Sν)≤δb(Dlb(θ,ν)), | (2.8) |
for all θ,ν∈{θn} with θ⪯ν. Then {θn} converges to θ∗∈U. Also, if (2.8) holds for θ∗ and θn⪯θ∗ for all n∈N∪{0}. Then S has a fixed point θ∗ in U.
Proof. Let α:U×U→[0,+∞) be a mapping defined by α(θ,ν)=1 for all θ,ν∈U with θ⪯ν and α(θ,ν)=411 for all other elements θ,ν∈U. As S is the dominated mappings on {θn}, so θ⪯Sθ for all θ∈{θn}. This implies that α(θ,Sθ)=1 for all θ∈{θn}. So S:U→U is the α-dominated mapping on {θn}. Moreover, inequality (2.8) can be written as
dlb(Sθ,Sν)≤δb(Dlb(θ,ν)) |
for all elements θ,ν in {θn} with α(θ,ν)≥1. Then, as in Theorem 2.1, {θn} converges to θ∗∈U. Now, θn⪯θ∗ implies α(θn,θ∗)≥1. So all the conditions of Theorem 2.1 are satisfied. Hence, by Theorem 2.1, S has a fixed point θ∗ 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∪B, where A={1n:n∈{2,3,4,5}} and B=[1,∞]. Define dl:U×U→[0,∞) such that dl(θ,ν)=dl(ν,θ) for θ,ν∈U and
{dl(12,13)=dl(14,15)=0.03dl(12,15)=dl(13,14)=0.02dl(12,14)=dl(15,13)=0.6dl(θ,ν)=|θ−ν|2 otherwise |
be a complete r.b.m. space with coefficient b=4>1 but (U,dl) is neither a metric space nor a rectangular metric space. Take δb(t)=t10, then bδb(t)<t. Let S:U→U be defined as
Sθ={15 ifθ∈A13 ifθ=19θ100+85 otherwise. |
Let θ0=1. Then the Picard sequence {θn} is {1,13,15,15,15,⋯}. Define
α(θ,ν)={85 ifθ,ν∈{θn}47 otherwise. |
Then S is an α-dominated mapping on {θn}. Now, S satisfies all the conditions of Theorem 2.1. Here 15 is the fixed point in U.
Jachymski [13] proved the contraction principle for mappings on a metric space with a graph. Let (U,d) be a metric space and △ represents the diagonal of the cartesian product U×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)⊇△. 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∈N) is a sequence {θi}Ni=o of N+1 vertices such that lo=l,lN=m and (ln−1,ln)∈E(G) where i=1,2,⋯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 θ be a nonempty set and G=(V(G),E(G)) be a graph such that V(G)=U and A⊆U. A mapping S:U→U is said to be graph dominated on A if (θ,Sθ)∈E(G) for all θ∈A.
Theorem 3.2. Let (U,dlb) be a complete rectangular b -metric space endowed with a graph G, {θn} be a Picard sequence and S:U→U be a graph dominated mapping on {θn}. Suppose that the following hold:
(i) there exists δb∈ϖb such that
dlb(Sθ,Sν)≤δb(Dlb(θ,ν)), | (3.1) |
for all θ,ν∈{θn} and (θn,ν)∈E(G). Then (θn,θn+1)∈E(G) and {θn} converges to θ∗. Also, if (3.1) holds for θ∗ and (θn,θ∗)∈E(G) for all n∈N∪{0}, then S has a fixed point θ∗ in U.
Proof. Define α:U×U→[0,+∞) by
α(θ,ν)={1, ifθ,ν∈U, (θ,ν)∈E(G)14, otherwise. |
Since S is a graph dominated on {θn}, for θ∈{θn},(θ,Sθ)∈E(G). This implies that α(θ,Sθ)=1 for all θ∈{θn}. So S:U→U is an α-dominated mapping on {θn}. Moreover, inequality (3.1) can be written as
dlb(Sθ,Sν)≤δb(Dlb(θ,ν)), |
for all elements θ,ν in {θn} with α(θ,ν)≥1. Then, by Theorem 2.1, {θn} converges to θ∗∈U. Now, (θn,θ∗)∈E(G) implies that α(θn,θ∗)≥1. So all the conditions of Theorem 2.1 are satisfied. Hence, by Theorem 2.1, S has a fixed point θ∗ in U.
