Abstract

:
Recently, George et al. (in Georgea, R.; Radenovicb, S.; Reshmac, K.P.; Shuklad, S. Rectangular b-metric space and contraction principles. J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl. 2015, 8, 1005–1013) furnished the notion of rectangular b-metric pace (RBMS) by taking the place of the binary sum of triangular inequality in the definition of a b-metric space ternary sum and proved some results for Banach and Kannan contractions in such space. In this paper, we achieved fixed-point results for a pair of F-dominated mappings fulfilling a generalized rational F-dominated contractive condition in the better framework of complete rectangular b-metric spaces complete rectangular b-metric spaces. Some new fixed-point results with graphic contractions for a pair of graph-dominated mappings on rectangular b-metric space have been obtained. Some examples are given to illustrate our conclusions. New results in ordered spaces, partial b-metric space, dislocated metric space, dislocated b-metric space, partial metric space, b-metric space, rectangular metric spaces, and metric space can be obtained as corollaries of our results.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries

Fixed-point theory is a basic tool in functional analysis. Banach [1] has shown significant result for contraction mappings. Due to its significance, a large number of authors have proved newsworthy of this result (see [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28]). In the sequel George et al. [2] furnished the notion of rectangular b-metric space (RBMS) by taking the place of the binary sum of triangular inequality in the definition of a b-metric space ternary sum and proved some results for Banach and Kannan contractions in such space. Further recent results on rectangular b-metric spaces can be seen in [10,11]. In this paper, we achieved fixed-point results for a pair of α -dominated mappings fulfilling a generalized rational F-dominated contractive condition in complete rectangular b-metric spaces. Therefore, here, we investigate our results in a better framework of rectangular b-metric space. Some new fixed-point results with graphic contractions for a pair of graph-dominated mappings on rectangular b-metric space have been obtained. New results in ordered spaces, partial b-metric space, dislocated metric space, dislocated b-metric space, partial metric space, b-metric space, rectangular metric spaces, and metric space can be obtained as corollaries of our results. First, we give the precise definitions that we will use.
Definition 1.
([2]). Let Z be a nonempty set and let d l : Z × Z [ 0 , ) be a function, called a rectangular b-metric (or simply d l -metric), if there exists b 1 such that the following conditions hold:
(i) d l ( g , p ) = 0 , if and only if g = p ;
(ii) d l ( g , p ) = d l ( p , g ) ;
(iii) d l ( g , p ) b [ d l ( g , q ) + d l ( q , h ) + d l ( h , p ) ] for all g , p Z and all distinct points q , h Z { g , p } . The pair ( Z , d l ) is said a rectangular b-metric space (in short R . B . M . S ) with coefficient b.
Definition 2.
([2]). Let ( Z , d l ) be a R . B . M . S .
(i) A sequence { g n } in ( Z , d l ) said to be Cauchy sequence if for each ε > 0 , there corresponds n 0 N such that for all n , m n 0 we have d l ( g m , g n ) < ε or lim n , m d l ( g n , g m ) = 0 .
(ii) A sequence { g n } rectangular b-converges (for short d l -converges) to g if lim n d l ( g n , g ) = 0 . In this case, g is called a d l -limit of { g n } .
(iii) ( Z , d l ) is complete if every Cauchy sequence in Z converges to a point g Z for which d l ( g , g ) = 0 .
Example 1.
([2]). Let Z = N define d : Z × Z Z such that d ( u , v ) = d ( v , u ) for all u , v Z and
d ( u , v ) = 0 , i f u = v ; 10 α , i f u = 1 , v = 2 ; α , i f u { 1 , 2 } a n d v { 3 } ; 2 α , i f u { 1 , 2 , 3 } a n d v { 4 } ; 3 α , i f u or v { 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 } a n d u v ;
where α > 0 is a constant. Then ( Z , d ) is a R . B . M . S with coefficient b = 2 > 1 , but ( Z , d ) does not be a rectangular metric, since
d ( 1 , 2 ) = 10 α > 5 α = d ( 1 , 3 ) + d ( 3 , 4 ) + d ( 4 , 2 ) .
Definition 3.
([26]). Let ( Z , d l ) be a metric space, S : Z P ( Z ) be a multivalued mapping and α : Z × Z [ 0 , + ) . Let A Z , the mapping S is said semi α -admissible on A , if α ( x , y ) 1 implies α ( S x , S y ) 1 , for all x A , where α ( S x , S y ) = inf { α ( a , b ) : a S x , b S y } . When A = Z , we say that the S is α -admissible on Z . In the case in which S is a single valued mapping, the previous definition becomes.
Definition 4.
Let ( Z , d l ) be a R . B . M . S . Let S : Z Z be a mapping and α : Z × Z [ 0 , + ) . If A Z , we say that the S is α-dominated on A , whenever α ( i , S i ) 1 for all i A . If A = Z , we say that S is α-dominated.
Definition 5.
([28]). Let ( Z , d ) be a metric space. A mapping H : Z Z is said to be an A−contraction if there exists τ > 0 such that
j , k Z , d ( H j , H k ) > 0 τ + A d ( H j , H k ) A d ( j , k )
with A : R + R real function which satisfies three assumptions:
(F1) A is strictly increasing
(F2) For any sequence { α n } n = 1 of positive real numbers, lim n α n = 0 is equivalent to lim n A ( α n ) = ;
(F3) There is k ( 0 , 1 ) for which lim α 0 + α k A ( α ) = 0 .
Example 2.
([19]). Let Z = R . Define the mapping α : Z × Z [ 0 , ) by
α ( x , y ) = 1 i f x > y 1 2 o t h e r w i s e .
Define the self-mappings S , T : Z Z by S x = x 4 , and T y = y 2 , where x , y Z . Suppose x = 3 and y = 2 . As 3 > 2 , then α ( 3 , 2 ) 1 . Now, α ( S 3 , T 2 ) = 1 2 1 , this means the pair ( S , T ) is not α-admissible. Also, α ( S 3 , S 2 ) 1 and α ( T 3 , T 2 ) 1 . This implies S and T are not α-admissible individually. Now, α ( x , S x ) 1 , for all x Z . Hence S is α-dominated mapping. Similarly it is clear that α ( y , T y ) 1 for all x Z . Hence it is clear that S and T are α-dominated but not α-admissible.

2. Main Result

Theorem 1.
Let ( Z , d l ) be a complete R . B . M . S with coefficient b 1 . Let α : Z × Z [ 0 , ) be a function and S , T : Z Z be the α-dominated mappings on Z . Suppose that the following condition is satisfied:
There exist τ , η 1 , η 2 , η 3 , η 4 > 0 satisfying b η 1 + b η 2 + ( 1 + b ) b η 3 + η 4 < 1 and a continuous and strictly increasing real function F such that
τ + F ( d l ( S e , T y ) ) F η 1 d l ( e , y ) + η 2 d l ( e , S e ) + η 3 d l ( e , T y ) + η 4 d l 2 ( e , S e ) . d l ( y , T y ) 1 + d l 2 ( e , y ) ,
whenever e , y { g n } , α ( e , y ) 1 and d l ( S e , T y ) > 0 “where the sequence g n is defined by g 0 arbitrary in Z, g 2 n + 1 = S ( T S ) n g 0 and g 2 n = ( T S ) n + 1 g 0 " . Then α ( g n , g n + 1 ) 1 for all n N { 0 } and { g n } u Z . Also, if the inequality (1) holds for u and either α ( g n , u ) 1 or α ( u , g n ) 1 for all n N { 0 } , then S and T have a common fixed point u in Z.
Proof. 
Chose a point g 0 in Z such that g 1 = S g 0 and g 2 = T g 1 . Continuing this process we construct a sequence { g n } of points in Z such that g 2 n + 1 = S g 2 n and g 2 n + 2 = T g 2 n + 1 for all for all n N { 0 } . Let g 1 , , g j Z for some j N . If j is odd, then j = 2 ı ` + 1 for some ı ` N . Since S , T : Z Z be the α -dominated mappings on Z, so α ( g 2 ı ` , S g 2 ı ` ) 1 and α ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , T g 2 ı ` + 1 ) 1 . As α ( g 2 ı ` , S g 2 ı ` ) 1 , this implies α ( g 2 ı ` , S g 2 ı ` ) = α ( g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 ) 1 where g 2 ı ` + 1 = S g 2 ı ` . Now, by using inequality (1),
τ + F ( d l ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 ) ) τ + F ( d l ( S g 2 ı ` , T g 2 ı ` + 1 ) ) F η 1 d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 + η 2 d l g 2 ı ` , S g 2 ı ` + η 3 d l g 2 ı ` , T g 2 ı ` + 1 + η 4 d l 2 g 2 ı ` , S g 2 ı ` . d l ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , T g 2 ı ` + 1 ) 1 + d l 2 g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 F η 1 d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 + η 2 d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 + b η 3 d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 + b η 3 d l g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 + η 4 d l 2 g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 . d l ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 ) 1 + d l 2 g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 F ( η 1 + η 2 + b η 3 ) d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 + ( b η 3 + η 4 ) d l g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 .
This implies
F ( d l ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 ) ) < F ( η 1 + η 2 + b η 3 ) d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 + ( b η 3 + η 4 ) d l g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2
As F is strictly increasing. Therefore, we have
d l ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 ) < ( η 1 + η 2 + b η 3 ) d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 + ( b η 3 + η 4 ) d l g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 .
Which implies
( 1 b η 3 η 4 ) d l ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 ) < ( η 1 + η 2 + b η 3 ) d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 d l ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 ) < η 1 + η 2 + b η 3 1 b η 3 η 4 d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 .
Now, we note that by assumption of inequality (1) it immediately follows λ = η 1 + η 2 + b η 3 1 b η 3 η 4 < 1 . Hence
d l ( g 2 ı ` + 1 , g 2 ı ` + 2 ) < λ d l g 2 ı ` , g 2 ı ` + 1 < λ 2 d l g 2 ı ` 1 , g 2 ı ` < < λ 2 i + 1 d l g 0 , g 1 .
Similarly, if j is even, we have
d l ( g 2 ı ` + 2 , g 2 ı ` + 3 ) < λ 2 i + 2 d l g 0 , g 1 .
Now, we have
d l ( g j , g j + 1 ) < λ j d l g 0 , g 1 for j N .
Also α ( g n , g n + 1 ) 1 for all n N { 0 } . Now,
d l ( g n , g n + 1 ) < λ n d l g 0 , g 1 for all n N .
Now, for any positive integers m , n ( m > n ) , we have
d l ( g n , g m ) b [ d l ( g n , g n + 1 ) + d l ( g n + 1 , g n + 2 ) + d l ( g n + 2 , g m ) ] b [ d l ( g n , g n + 1 ) + d l ( g n + 1 , g n + 2 ) ] + b 2 [ d l ( g n + 2 , g n + 3 ) + d l ( g n + 3 , g n + 4 ) + d l ( g n + 4 , g m ) ]
b [ λ n + λ n + 1 ] d l ( g 0 , g 1 ) + b 2 [ λ n + 2 + λ n + 3 ] d l ( g 0 , g 1 ) + b 3 [ [ λ n + 4 + λ n + 5 ] d l ( g 0 , g 1 ) + + b 2 m 1 λ m n d l ( g 0 , g 1 ) , ( by ( 2.4 ) ) b λ n [ 1 + b λ 2 + b 2 λ 4 + ] d l ( g 0 , g 1 ) + b λ n + 1 [ 1 + b λ 2 + b 2 λ 4 + ] d l ( g 0 , g 1 ) 1 + λ 1 b λ 2 b λ n d l ( g 0 , g 1 ) .
As η 1 , η 2 , η 3 , η 4 > 0 , b 1 and b η 1 + b η 2 + ( 1 + b ) b η 3 + η 4 < 1 , so b λ 2 < 1 . Then, we have
d l ( g n , g m ) < 1 + λ 1 b λ 2 b λ n d l ( g 0 , g 1 ) 0 as n .
Hence { g n } is a Cauchy sequence in Z. Since ( Z , d l ) is a complete metric space, so there exist u Z such that { g n } u as n , then
lim n d l ( g n , u ) = 0 .
By assumption, α ( u , g n ) 1 . Suppose that d l ( u , S u ) > 0 , then there exists positive integer k such that d l ( T g 2 n + 1 , S u ) > 0 for all n k . For n k , we have
d l ( u , S u ) b [ d l ( u , g n ) + d l ( g n , g 2 n + 2 ) + d l ( g 2 n + 2 , S u ) ] b [ d l ( u , g n ) + d l ( g n , g 2 n + 1 ) + d l ( T g 2 n + 1 , S u ) ] b [ d l ( u , g n ) + d l ( g n , g 2 n + 1 ) + d l ( S u , T g 2 n + 1 ) ] < b d l ( u , g n ) + d l ( g n , g 2 n + 1 ) + η 1 d l ( u , g 2 n + 1 ) + η 2 d l ( u , S u ) + η 3 d l ( g 2 n + 1 , T g 2 n + 1 ) + η 4 d l ( u , S u ) . d l 2 ( g 2 n + 1 , T g 2 n + 1 ) 1 + d l 2 ( g 2 n + 1 , u ) .
Letting n , and by using the inequalities (4) and (5) we get
d l ( u , S u ) < η 3 d l ( u , S u ) < d l ( u , S u ) ,
which is a contradiction. So, our supposition is wrong. Hence d l ( u , S u ) = 0 . Similarly, by using the above inequlity
d l ( u , T u ) b [ d l ( u , g n ) + d l ( g n , g 2 n + 1 ) + d l ( g 2 n + 1 , T u ) ] d l ( u , T u ) b [ d l ( u , g n ) + d l ( g n , g 2 n + 1 ) + d l ( S g 2 n , T u ) ]
we can get d l ( u , T u ) = 0 . This shows that u is a common fixed point of S and T. □
Example 3.
Let Z = A B , where A = { 1 n : n { 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 } } and B = [ 1 , 2 ] . Define d l : Z × Z [ 0 , ) such that defined by d l ( x , y ) = d l ( y , x ) for x , y Z and
d l ( 1 2 , 1 3 ) = d l ( 1 4 , 1 5 ) = 0.03 d l ( 1 2 , 1 5 ) = d l ( 1 3 , 1 4 ) = 0.02 d l ( 1 2 , 1 4 ) = d l ( 1 5 , 1 3 ) = 0.6 d l ( x , y ) = x y 2 o t h e r w i s e .
be the complete R . B . M . S with coefficient b = 4 > 1 but ( Z , d l ) is neither a metric space nor a rectangular metric space. Take η 1 = 1 10 , η 2 = 1 20 , η 3 = 1 60 , η 4 = 1 30 , τ ( 0 , 12 95 ] then b η 1 + b η 2 + ( 1 + b ) b η 3 + η 4 < 1 , λ = 11 56 and F ( x ) = ln x . Consider the mapping α : Z × Z [ 0 , ) by
α ( x , y ) = 1 i f x > y 1 2 o t h e r w i s e .
Let S , T : Z Z be defined as
S x = 1 2 i f x A x 4 i f x B . T x = 1 3 i f x A x 4 i f x B .
As 1 2 , 1 3 Z , α ( 1 2 , 1 3 ) > 1 taking F ( x ) = ln x , for any τ ( 0 , 12 95 ] . Then S and T satisfy the condition of Theorem 1.
If, we take S = T in Theorem 1, then we are left with result.
Corollary 1.
Let ( Z , d l ) be a complete R . B . M . S with coefficient b 1 . Let α : Z × Z [ 0 , ) be a function and S : Z Z be the α-dominated mapping on Z . Suppose that the following condition is satisfied:

whenever e , y { g n } , α ( e , y ) 1 and d l ( S e , S y ) > 0 “where the sequence g n is defined by g 0 arbitrary in Z, g 2 n + 1 = S 2 n g 0 " . Then α ( g n , g n + 1 ) 1 for all n N { 0 } and { g n } u Z . Also, if the inequality (6) holds for u and either α ( g n , u ) 1 or α ( u , g n ) 1 for all n N { 0 } , then S and T have a common fixed point u in Z.
If, we take η 2 = 0 in Theorem 1, then we are left with the result.
Corollary 2.

τ + F ( d l ( S e , T y ) ) F η 1 d l ( e , y ) + η 3 d l ( e , T y ) + η 4 d l 2 ( e , S e ) . d l ( y , T y ) 1 + d l 2 ( e , y ) ,
whenever e , y { g n } , α ( e , y ) 1 and d l ( S e , T y ) > 0 “where the sequence g n is defined by g 0 arbitrary in Z, g 2 n + 1 = S ( T S ) n g 0 and g 2 n = ( T S ) n + 1 g 0 " . Then α ( g n , g n + 1 ) 1 for all n N { 0 } and { g n } u Z . Also, if the inequality (7) holds for u and either α ( g n , u ) 1 or α ( u , g n ) 1 for all n N { 0 } , then S and T have common fixed point u in Z.
If, we take η 3 = 0 in Theorem 1, then we are left with the result.
Corollary 3.
Let ( Z , d l ) be a complete R . B . M . S with constant b 1 . Let α : Z × Z [ 0 , ) be a function and S , T : Z Z be the α-dominated mappings on Z . Suppose that the following condition is satisfied: There exist τ , η 1 , η 2 , η 4 > 0 satisfying b η 1 + b η 2 + η 4 < 1 and a continuous and strictly increasing real function F such that

Then α ( g n , g n + 1 ) 1 for all n N { 0 } and { g n } u Z . Also, if the inequality (8) holds for u and either α ( g n , u ) 1 or α ( u , g n ) 1 for all n N { 0 } , then S and T have common fixed point u in Z.
If, we take η 4 = 0 in Theorem 1, then we are left with the result.

whenever e , y { g n } , α ( e , y ) 1 and d l ( S e , T y ) > 0 “where the sequence g n is defined by g 0 arbitrary in Z, g 2 n + 1 = S ( T S ) n g 0 and g 2 n = ( T S ) n + 1 g 0 " , Then α ( g n , g n + 1 ) 1 for all n N { 0 } and { g n } u Z . Also, if the inequality (9) holds for u and either α ( g n , u ) 1 or α ( u , g n ) 1 for all n N { 0 } , then S and T have a common fixed point u in Z.

3. Fixed Points for Graphic Contractions

Lastly, we give a realization of Theorem 1 in graph theory. Jachymski, [14], shown the particular case for contraction mappings on metric space with a graph. Hussain et al. [12], introduced the concept of graphic contractions and obtained a point fixed result. Further results on graphic contraction can be seen in [8,21,27]. Shang [25], discussed briefly basic notions of graph limit theory and fix some necessary notations and presented many interesting applications.
Definition 6.
Let Z be a nonempty set and Q = ( V ( Q ) , W ( Q ) ) be a graph such that V ( Q ) = Z , A Z . A mapping S : Z Z is said to be a graph dominated on A if ( p , q ) W ( Q ) , for all q S p and q A .
Theorem 2.
Let ( Z , d l ) be a complete R . B . M . S endowed with a graph Q with coefficient b 1 . Let S , T : Z Z be two self mappings. Suppose that the following satisfy:
(i) S and T are graph dominated on Z .
(ii) There exist τ , η 1 , η 2 , η 3 , η 4 > 0 satisfying b η 1 + b η 2 + ( 1 + b ) b η 3 + η 4 < 1 and a continuous and strictly increasing real function F such that
τ + F ( H d l ( S p , T q ) ) F η 1 d l ( p , q ) + η 2 d l ( p , S p ) + η 3 d l ( p , T q ) + η 4 d l 2 ( p , S p ) . d l ( q , T q ) 1 + d l 2 ( p , q ) ,
whenever p , q { g n } , ( p , q ) W ( Q ) and d l ( S p , T q ) > 0 “where the sequence g n is defined by g 0 arbitrary in Z, g 2 n + 1 = S ( T S ) n g 0 and g 2 n = ( T S ) n + 1 g 0 . Then ( g n , g n + 1 ) W ( Q ) and { g n } m . Also, if the inequality (10) holds for m and ( g n , m ) W ( Q ) or ( m , g n ) W ( Q ) for all n N { 0 } , then S and T have common fixed point m in Z.
Proof. 
Define, α : Z × Z [ 0 , ) by
α ( p , q ) = 1 , if p Z , ( p , q ) W ( Q ) 0 , otherwise .
As S and T are graph dominated on Z , then for p Z , ( p , q ) W ( Q ) for all q S p and ( p , q ) W ( Q ) for all q T p . Therefore, α ( p , q ) = 1 for all q S p and α ( p , q ) = 1 for all q T p . Hence α ( p , S p ) = 1 , α ( p , T p ) = 1 for all p Z . Therefore, S , T : Z Z are the α -dominated mappings on Z . Moreover, inequality (10) can be written as
τ + F ( H d l ( S p , T q ) ) F η 1 d l ( p , q ) + η 2 d l ( p , S p ) + η 3 d l ( p , T q ) + η 4 d l 2 ( p , S p ) . d l ( q , T q ) 1 + d l 2 ( p , q )
whenever p , q { g n } , α ( p , q ) 1 and d l ( S p , T q ) > 0 . Also, (ii) holds. Then, by Theorem 1, we have { g n } s Z . Now, g n , s Z and either ( g n , s ) W ( Q ) or ( s , g n ) W ( Q ) implies that either α ( g n , s ) 1 or α ( s , g n ) 1 . Therefore, all the conditions of Theorem 1 are satisfied. Hence, by Theorem 1, S and T have a common fixed point s in Z and d l ( s , s ) = 0 .

4. Conclusions

In the present work, we have achieved fixed-point results for new generalized F-contraction for a more general class of α -dominated mappings rather than α -admissible mappings and for a weaker class of strictly increasing mapping F rather than class of mappings F used by Wordowski [28]. We introduced the concept of a pair of graph-dominated mappings and given a fixed-point existence result of a fixed point for graphic contractions. Our results generalized and extended many recent fixed-point results of Rasham et al. [16,20], Wordowski’s result [28], Ameer et al. [6] and many classical results in the current literature (see [4,7,9,13,17,18,23,24]).
