1. Introduction
Fixed point theory occupies a central role in the study of solving nonlinear equations of kinds
, where the function
S is characterized on abstract space
It is outstanding that the Banach contraction principle is a standout amongst essential and principal results in the fixed point theorem. It ensures the existence of fixed points for certain self-maps in a complete metric space and provides a helpful technique to find those fixed points. Many authors studied and extended it in many generalizations of metric spaces with new contractive mappings, for example, see References [
1,
2,
3] and the references therein.
Otherwise, Hitzler and Seda [
4] introduce the notation of metric-like (dislocated) metric space as a generalization of a metric space, they introduced variants of the Banach fixed point theorem in such space. Metric like spaces were revealed by Amini-Harandi [
5] who proved the existence of fixed point results. This interesting subject has been mediated by certain authors, for example, see References [
6,
7,
8]. In partial metric spaces and partially ordered metric-like spaces, the usual contractive condition is weakened and many researchers apply their results to problems of existence and uniqueness of solutions for some boundary value problems of differential and Integral equations, for example, see References [

22] and the references therein.
Additionally, Geraghty [
23] characterized a kind of the set of functions
to be classified as the functions
such that if
is a sequence in
with
then
By using the function
, Geraghty [
23] presented the following exceptional theorem
Theorem 1. Suppose is a complete metric space. Assume that and are functions such that for all where then T has a fixed point and has to be unique. The main results of Geraghty have engaged many of authors, see References [
24,
25,
26] and the references therein.
Recently, Amini-Harandi and Emami [
27] reconsidered Theorem 1 as the framework of partially ordered metric spaces and they presented taking into account existence theorem.
Theorem 2. Let be a partially ordered complete metric space. Assume is a mapping such that there exists with and such that Hence, S has a fixed point supported that either S is continuous or Y is such that if an increasing sequence , then for all n.
In 2015, Karapinar [
28] demonstrated the following specific results:
Theorem 3. [28] Let be a complete metric-like space. Assume that is a mapping. If there exists such thatfor all then S has a unique fixed point with The notion of quasi-contraction presented by Reference [
29], is known as one of the foremost common contractive self-mappings.
A mapping
is expressed to be a quasi contraction if there exists
such that

.
In this paper, we show the generalized Geraghty -quasi contraction type mapping in partially ordered metric like space, then we present some fixed and common fixed point theorems for such mappings in an ordered complete metric-like space. We investigate this new contractive mapping as a generalized weakly contractive mapping in our main results, then we display an example and an application to support our obtained results.
2. Preliminaries
In this section, we review a few valuable definitions and assistant results that will be required within the following sections.
Definition 1. [5] Let Y be a nonempty set. A function is expressed to be a metric-like space on X if for any , the accompanying stipulations satisfied: - (σ1)
- (σ2)
- (σ3)
The pair is called a metric-like space.
Obviously, we can consider that every metric space and partial metric space could be a metric-like space. However, this assertion isn’t valid.
Example 1. [5] Let and We note that . So, is a metric-like space and at the same time it is not a partial metric space.
Additonally, each metric-like on Y create a topology on Y whose use as a basis of the group of open -balls
Let be a metric-like space and be a continuous mapping. Then
A sequence of elements of Y is considered -Cauchy if the limit exists as a finite number. The metric-like space is considered complete if for each -Cauchy sequence there is some such that
Remark 1. [30] Let , and for each and for each Then, it is easy to see that and and so in metric-like spaces the limit of a convergent sequence is not necessarily unique. Lemma 1. [30] Let be a metric-like space. Let be a sequence in Y such that where and Then, for all we have Example 2. [5] Let and be defined by Then, we can consider to be a metric-like space, but it does not satisfy the conditions of the partial metric space, as .

3. Main Results
In this section, we present the notation of generalized Geraghty
-quasi contraction self-mappings in partially ordered metric-like space. Then, we present some fixed and common fixed point theorems for such self-mappings. We investigate this new contractive self-mapping as a generalized weakly contractive self-mapping which is a generalization of the results of Reference [
34]. Results of this kind are amongst the most useful in fixed point theory and it’s applications.

It is additionally conceivable to expel the continuity of S and T by exchanging a weaker condition. If is a nondecreasing sequence in X such that for all and as then there exists a subsequence of such that for all
