In this paper we prove a theorem which ensures the existence of a unique fixed point and is applicable to contractive type mappings as well as mappings which do not satisfy any contractive type condition. Our theorem contains the well known fixed point theorems respectively due to Banach, Kannan, Chatterjea, Ciric and Suzuki as particular cases; and is independent of Caristi?s fixed point theorem. Moreover, our theorem provides new solutions to Rhoades problem on discontinuity at the fixed point as it admits contractive mappings which are discontinuous at the fixed point. It is also shown that the weaker form of continuity employed by us is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of the fixed point.

The purpose of the paper is to propose some new probabilistic α-minimum Ciric type contraction results. Our results are established on probabilistic generalization of metric spaces or probabilistic metric spaces. The use of class of control fucntion φ which was introduced by Choudhury et al. in 2008 helped us to deduce the result. We also get a corollary. Some illustrative examples are given here. Our results are supported by those examples. Lastly an application of integral equation is given. An important conclusion is also made at the end of the results.

We generalize the Caristi’s fixed point theorem for single valued as well as multivalued mappings defined on ametric space endowed with a graph andw-distance. Particularly, we modify the concept of the (OSC)-propertydue to Alfuraidan and Khamsi (Alfuraidan M. R. and Khamsi, M. A.,Caristi fixed point theorem in metric spaceswith graph, Abstr. Appl. Anal., (2014) Art. ID 303484, 5.) which enable us to reformulated their stated graphtheory version theorem (Theorem 3.2 in Alfuraidan M. R. and Khamsi, M. A.,Caristi fixed point theorem in metricspaces with graph, Abstr. Appl. Anal., (2014) Art. ID 303484, 5. ) to the case ofw-distance. Consequently,we extend and improve some recent works concerning extension of Banach Contraction Theorem tow-distancewith graph e.g. (Jachymski, J.,The contraction principle for mappings on a metric space with graph, Proc. Amer. Math.Soc.,136(2008), No. 4, 1359–1373; Nieto, J. J., Pouso, R. L. and Rodriguez-Lopez R.,Fixed point theorems in orderedabstract spaces, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc.,135(2007), 2505–2517 and Petrusel, A. and Rus, I.,Fixed point theorems inorderedL−spaces endowed with graph, Proc. Amer, Math. Soc.,134(2006), 411–418.

In this paper, we define and study the Perov fuzzy metric space and the topology induced by this space. We prove Banach contraction theorems. Moreover, we devised new results for Kramosil and Michálek fuzzy metric spaces. In the process, some results about multidimensional common fixed points as coupled/tripled common fixed point results are derived from our main results.

The purpose of this paper is to utilize the property (E.A.) and the common property (E.A.) to prove some existence results on common fixed point for contractive mappings in fuzzy metric spaces which include fuzzy metric spaces of two types, namely, Kramosil and Michalek fuzzy metric spaces along with George and Veeramani fuzzy metric spaces. Our results generalize and extend several relevant common fixed point theorems from the literature. We also furnish an illustrative example. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we provide some generalizations of the Darbo’s fixed point theorem associated with the measure of noncompactness and present some results on the existence of the coupled fixed point theorems for a special class of operators in a Banach space. To acquire this result, we define α- ψ and β- ψ condensing operators and using them we propose new fixed point results. Our results generalize and extend some comparable results from the literature. Additionally, as an application, we apply the obtained fixed point theorems to study the nonlinear functional integral equations.

We observe that the assumption of set-valued F-contractions (Sgroi and Vetro [13]) is actually very strong for the existence of fixed point and can be weakened. In this connection, we introduce the notion of set-valued ?-F-contractions and prove a corresponding fixed point theorem in complete metric spaces. Consequently, we derive several fixed point theorems in metric spaces. Some examples are given to illustrate the new theory. Then we apply our results to establishing the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a certain type of non-linear integral equations.

This article intends to initiate the study of Pompeiu–Hausdorff distance induced by an M-metric. The Nadler and Kannan type fixed point theorems for set-valued mappings are also established in the said spaces. Moreover, the discussion is supported with the aid of competent examples and a result on homotopy. This approach improves the current state of art in fixed point theory.

In this paper, we introduce the Ćirić type generalized F-contraction and establish certain common fixed point results for such F-contraction in metric spaces with the w-distances. In addition, we give some examples to support our results. Finally, we apply our results to show the existence of solutions of the second order differential equation.

In this paper, we provide an approach to establish the Banach contraction principle ( for the case &lambda, &isin, [ 0 , 1 ) ) , Edelstein, Reich, and Meir&ndash, Keeler type contractions in the context of graphical rectangular b-metric space. The obtained results not only enrich and improve recent fixed point theorems of this new metric spaces but also provide positive answers to the questions raised by Mudasir Younis et al. (J. Fixed Point Theory Appl., doi:10.1007/s11784-019-0673-3, 2019).

In this paper, we obtain some unique common fixed point results for generalized cyclic contraction pair of mappings. These results establish some of the more general common fixed point theorems for two maps in metric spaces.

The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach to study the existence of fixed points for multivalued F-contraction in the setting of modular metric spaces. In establishing this connection, we introduce the notion of multivalued F-contraction and prove corresponding fixed point theorems in complete modular metric space with some specific assumption on the modular. Then we apply our results to establish the existence of solutions for a certain type of non-linear integral equations.

In this paper, we introduce new concepts of α-type F-contractive mappings which are essentially weaker than the class of F-contractive mappings given in [21, 22] and different from α-GF-contractions given in [8]. Then, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of fixed point are established for these new types of contractive mappings, in the setting of complete metric space. Consequently, the obtained results encompass various generalizations of the Banach contraction principle. Moreover, some examples and an application to nonlinear fractional differential equation are given to illustrate the usability of the new theory.

The purpose of this paper is to improve certain results proved in a recent paper of Soliman et al. (20). These results are the outcome of utilizing the idea of absorbing pairs due to Gopal et al. (6) as opposed to two conditions namely: weak compatibility and the peculiar condition initiated by Pant (15) to ascertain the common xed points of Lipschitzian mappings. Some illustrative examples are also furnished to highlight the realized improvements.

The purpose of this paper is to prove some new common fixed point theorems in (GV)-fuzzy metric spaces. While proving our results, we utilize the idea of compatibility due to Jungck (Int J Math Math Sci 9:771–779, 1986) together with subsequentially continuity due to Bouhadjera and Godet-Thobie (arXiv: 0906.3159v1 [math.FA] 17 Jun 2009) respectively (also alternately reciprocal continuity due to Pant (Bull Calcutta Math Soc 90:281–286, 1998) together with subcompatibility due to Bouhadjera and Godet-Thobie (arXiv:0906.3159v1 [math.FA] 17 Jun 2009) as patterned in Imdad et al. (doi:10.1016/j.aml.2011.01.045) wherein conditions on completeness (or closedness) of the underlying space (or subspaces) together with conditions on continuity in respect of any one of the involved maps are relaxed. Our results substantially generalize and improve a multitude of relevant common fixed point theorems of the existing literature in metric as well as fuzzy metric spaces which include some relevant results due to Imdad et al. (J Appl Math Inform 26:591–603, 2008), Mihet (doi:10.1016/j.na.2010.05.044), Mishra (Tamkang J Math 39(4):309–316, 2008), Singh (Fuzzy Sets Syst 115:471–475, 2000) and several others.

In this paper, common fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying a generalized contractive condition are obtained in symmetric spaces by using the notion of common property (E.A.). In the process, a host of previously known results are improved and generalized. We also derive results on common fixed point in probabilistic symmetric spaces.

In this paper we prove common fixed point theorems in fuzzy metric spaces employing the notion of reciprocal continuity. Moreover we have to show that in the context of reciprocal continuity the notion of compatibility and semi-compatibility of maps becomes equivalent. Our result improves recent results of Singh & Jain [13] in the sense that all maps involved in the theorems are discontinuous even at common fixed point.

Inspired by the work of Dakjum et al. [Eshi, D., Das, P. K. and Debnath, P., Coupled coincidence and coupled common fixed point theorems on a metric space with a graph, Fixed Point Theory Appl., 37 (2016), 1–14], we introduce a new class of G − f−contraction mappings in complete fuzzy metric spaces endowed with a directed graph and prove some existence results for coupled coincidence and coupled common fixed point theorems of this type of contraction mappings in complete fuzzy metric spaces endowed with a directed graph.
