Journal of Inequalities and Applications volume 2019, Article number: 288 (2019)
Abstract
The notion of nonlinear \((\mathcal{F}_{s}, \mathcal{L})\)-contractive multivalued operators is initiated and some related fixed point results are considered. We also give an example to show the validity of obtained theoretical results. Our results generalize many existing ones in the literature.
1 Introduction
A multivalued weakly Picard operator (in short, MWP) has been introduced as a connection with the successive approximation method and the data dependence problem in fixed point theory for multivalued operators by Rus et al. [25].
Given a metric space \((X,d)\). Let \(P(X)\) be the class of nonempty subsets of X. Denote by \(C(X)\) (resp. \(\mathit{CB}(X)\)) the class of nonempty closed (resp. all nonempty bounded and closed) subsets of X. For \(A, B\in \mathit{CB}(X)\), consider the Pompeiu–Hausdorff functional
For \(\eta\in X\), define \(D(\eta,B)=\inf_{\mu\in B}d(\eta,\mu)\).
Lemma 1.1
([22])
Given a metric space \((X,d)\). Let \(B\subseteq X\)and \(\alpha> 1\). For \(\eta\in X\), there is \(\xi\in B\)such that \(d(\eta,\xi) \leq\alpha D(\eta, B)\).
Berinde [14] introduced the following notion which was later named from ‘weak contraction’ to ‘almost contraction’ by Berinde [15].
Definition 1.1
Given a metric space \((X,d)\). A mapping \(F: X\to X\) is said to be an almost contraction or an \((\delta ,L)\)-contraction if there are \(\delta\in(0,1)\) and \(L\geq0\) such that, for \(\zeta,\theta\in X\),
Nadler [22] used the notion of the Pompeiu–Hausdorff metric to ensure the existence of fixed points for multivalued contraction mappings.
M. Berinde and V. Berinde [13] initiated the notion of multivalued almost contractions as follows:
A mapping \(F: X\to \mathit{CB}(X)\) is an almost contraction if there are \(\delta\in(0,1)\) and \(L\geq0\) such that, for \(\zeta,\theta\in X\), the following inequality holds:
Berinde [13] established the Nadler fixed point theorem in [22].
Theorem 1.1
Let \(F: X\to \mathit{CB}(X)\)be an almost contraction mapping on a complete metric space. ThenFhas a fixed point.
Definition 1.2
([25])
A mapping \(T: X \to \mathit{CB}(X)\) is called an MWP operator if, for all \(\zeta\in X\) and \(\theta\in T \zeta\), there is \(\{\zeta _{n}\}\) in X such that the following statements hold:
- (i)
\(\zeta_{0} = \zeta\) and \(\zeta_{1} = \theta\);
- (ii)
\(\zeta_{n+1} \in T\zeta_{n}\) for all \(n \geq0\);
- (iii)
\(\{\zeta_{n}\}\) converges to a fixed point of T.
Popescu [27] introduced the concept of \((s,r)\)-contractive multivalued operators and obtained some (strict) fixed point results.
Definition 1.3
([27])
Let \(T: X \to \mathit{CB}(X)\) be a multivalued operator on a complete metric space \((X,d)\). Such T is an \((s,r)\)-contraction if \(r \in[0, 1)\), \(s \geq r\), and \(\zeta,\theta\in X\)
where
Theorem 1.2
([27])
Let \(T: X \to \mathit{CB}(X)\)be an \((s,r)\)-contractive multivalued operator (with \(s > r\)) on a complete metric space. ThenTis an MWP operator.
Theorem 1.3
([27])
Let \(T: X \to \mathit{CB}(X)\)be an \((s,r)\)-contractive multivalued operator on a complete metric space. ThenThas a fixed point. Moreover, if \(s \geq1\), such a fixed point is unique.
Kamran [17] improved the results of Popescu [27] to weakly \((s, r)\)-contractive multivalued operators.
Definition 1.4
([17])
Let \(T: X \to \mathit{CB}(X)\) be a multivalued operator on a metric space \((X,d)\). Such T is a weakly \((s,r)\)-contraction if there are \(r \in[0, 1)\), \(s \geq r\), and \(L \geq0\) such that
where
Theorem 1.4
([17])
Let \(T: X \to \mathit{CB}(X)\)be a weakly \((s,r)\)-contraction (with \(s > r\)and \(L \geq0\)) on a complete metric space. ThenTis an MWP operator.
On the other hand, Wardowski [34] introduced a generalized version of contraction mappings, called \(\mathcal{F}\)-contractions, i.e., a mapping \(T: X\to X\) satisfying
for all \(\zeta,\theta\in X\) with \(T\zeta\neq T\theta\), where \(\tau>0\) and \(\mathcal{F}:(0, \infty)\to\mathbb{R}\) is a function verifying the following conditions:
- (\(\mathcal{F}_{1}\)):
\(\mathcal{F}\) is strictly increasing;
- (\(\mathcal{F}_{2}\)):
for each \(\{a_{n}\}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^{+}\), \(\lim_{n\to\infty}a_{n}=0\) iff \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\mathcal{F}(a_{n})= -\infty\);
- (\(\mathcal{F}_{3}\)):
there is \(0< k<1\) such that \(\lim_{a\to 0^{+}}a^{k}\mathcal{F}(a)=0\).
It was proved that every \(\mathcal{F}\)-contraction on a complete metric space possesses a unique fixed point.
In 2014, Piri and Kumam [26] combined the notion of \(\mathcal {F}\)-contractions with a Suzuki type contraction as follows:
Recently, Turinici in [33] relaxed condition (\(\mathcal{F}_{2}\)) by
- (\(\mathcal{F}^{\prime}_{2}\)):
for each \(\{a_{n}\}\subseteq\mathbb {R}^{+}\), \(\lim_{n\to\infty}a_{n}=0\), then \(\lim_{n\to\infty }\mathcal{F}(a_{n})= -\infty\).
Then the following
- (\(\mathcal{F}^{\prime\prime}_{2}\)):
\(\mathcal{F}(a_{n})\to-\infty\) implies \(a_{n}\to0\)
can be derived from (\(\mathcal{F}_{1}\)).
Recently, Wardowski [35] considered the class of \(\mathcal {F}\)-contractions in a generalized way by replacing τ by a function \(\varphi:(0,\infty)\rightarrow(0,\infty)\) and defined \((\varphi, \mathcal{F})\)-contractions (nonlinear contractions) on a metric space \((X,d)\) so that
- (\(\mathcal{H}_{1}\)):
\(\mathcal{F}\) verifies (\(\mathcal{F}_{1}\)) and (\(\mathcal{F}^{\prime}_{2}\));
- (\(\mathcal{H}_{2}\)):
\(\lim \inf_{q\to p^{+}}\varphi(q)>0\) for \(p\geq0\);
- (\(\mathcal{H}_{3}\)):
\(\varphi(d(\zeta,\theta)) + \mathcal {F}(d(T\zeta, T\theta))\leq\mathcal{F}(d(\zeta,\theta))\) for all \(\zeta ,\theta\in X\) so that \(T\zeta\neq T\theta\).
Wardowski [35] proved a fixed point result for such nonlinear contractions by omitting (\(\mathcal{F}_{3}\)).
Altun et al. [6] used an extra condition on \(\mathcal{F}\):
- (\(\mathcal{F}_{4}\)):
\(\mathcal{F}(\inf(P))=\inf\mathcal{F}(P)\) for \(P\subset(0, \infty)\) such that \(\inf(P) >0\).
Define:
- (\(\mathcal{H}^{\prime}_{1}\)):
\(\mathcal{F}\) satisfies (\(\mathcal {F}_{1}\)), (\(\mathcal{F}^{\prime}_{2}\)), and (\(\mathcal{F}_{4}\)).
- (\(\mathcal{H}^{\prime}_{3}\)):
There are \(s\geq0\) and \(\mathcal {L}\geq0\) such that, for \(\zeta,\theta\in X\) with \(H(T\zeta, T\theta) >0\), we have
$$ D(\theta,T\zeta)\leq sd(\theta,\zeta)\quad \text{implies}\quad \varphi \bigl(d(\zeta,\theta)\bigr)+\mathcal{F}\bigl(H(T\zeta,T\theta)\bigr) \leq\mathcal {F}\bigl(M(\zeta,\theta)\bigr), $$(4)where
$$\begin{aligned} M(\zeta,\theta) =& \max \biggl\{ d(\zeta,\theta), D(\zeta, T\zeta), D(\theta,T \theta), \frac{D(\zeta,T\theta)+D(\theta,T\zeta)}{2} \biggr\} \\ &{} +\mathcal{L} \min\bigl\{ d(\zeta,\theta), D(\theta,T\zeta), D(\zeta,T\zeta ) \bigr\} . \end{aligned}$$- (\(\mathcal{H}^{\prime\prime}_{3}\)):
There are \(r,s\in[0,1)\) with \(r< s\) such that, for \(\zeta,\theta\in X\) with \(H(T\zeta, T\theta) >0\),
$$\frac{1}{1+r}D(\zeta,T\zeta)\leq d(\zeta,\theta) \leq\frac {1}{1-s}D( \zeta, T\zeta) $$implies
$$\varphi\bigl(d(\zeta,\theta)\bigr) + \mathcal{F}\bigl(H(T\zeta,T\theta)\bigr) \leq\mathcal {F}\bigl(M(\zeta,\theta)\bigr). $$
For more works concerning \(\mathcal{F}\)-contractions, we refer to [1,2,3, 5, 7,8,9,10,11,12, 18,19,20,21, 23, 24, 28, 32] and the references therein.
The graph of \(T:X\rightarrow2^{X}\) is given as
The mapping T is said to be upper semi-continuous if the inverse image of closed sets is closed.
Here, we introduce the concept of \((\mathcal{F}_{s}, \mathcal {L})\)-contractive multivalued operators. We will extend the results of Kamran [17] and Popescu [27]. For more details, see [4, 16, 29,30,31]. An example is given to show the validity of our results.
2 Main results
We begin with the following definition.
Definition 2.1
Let \((X,d)\) be a metric space. The multivalued operator \(T: X\to \mathit{CB}(X)\) is an \((\mathcal{F}_{s}, \mathcal{L})\)-contraction if conditions (\(\mathcal{H}^{\prime}_{1}\)), (\(\mathcal{H}_{2}\)), and (\(\mathcal {H}^{\prime}_{3}\)) are satisfied.
Our first result is as follows.
Theorem 2.1
Let \(T: X\to \mathit{CB}(X)\)be an \((\mathcal{F}_{s}, \mathcal {L})\)-contractive multivalued operator on a complete metric space. Assume that \(\operatorname{Gr}(T)\)is a closed subset of \(X^{2}\). ThenTis an MWP operator.
Proof
Let \(\zeta_{0}\in X\) and \(\zeta_{1}\in T\zeta_{0}\), then \(D(\zeta_{1},T\zeta _{0})=0\). In the case that \(\zeta_{0} = \zeta_{1}\), then \(\zeta_{1}\) is a fixed point of T, and so the proof is done.
Assume that \(\zeta_{0} \neq\zeta_{1}\). If \(\zeta_{1}\in T\zeta_{1}\), the proof is completed. Otherwise, if \(\zeta_{1}\notin T\zeta_{1}\), then since \(T\zeta _{1}\) is closed, we have \(D(\zeta_{1},T\zeta_{1})>0\). Therefore, \(H(T\zeta _{0},T\zeta_{1})\geq D(\zeta_{1},T\zeta_{1})>0\), we also have \(D(\zeta_{1},T\zeta_{0})\le sd(\zeta_{1},\zeta_{0})\). Since T is an \((\mathcal{F}_{s}, \mathcal{L})\)-contractive multivalued operator, we have
where
So
Since \(D(\zeta_{1}, T\zeta_{1}) \leq H(T\zeta_{0}, T\zeta_{1})\), from (\(\mathcal {F}_{1}\)) and (5), we have
Recall that \(D(\zeta_{1}, T\zeta_{1})>0\), so from (\(\mathcal{F}_{4}\)) we obtain
By (6), we have
There is \(\zeta_{2}\in T\zeta_{1}\) such that
Continuing in this manner, we get \(\{\zeta_{n}\}\) such that \(\zeta _{n+1}\in T\zeta_{n}\) and
for all \(n\geq1\). Let \(\alpha_{n}=d(\zeta_{n-1},\zeta_{n})\) for all \(n\geq 0\). We suppose that \(\alpha_{n}>0\) for each \(n \in\mathbb{N}\). From (8), there is \(c>0\) such that
By (\(\mathcal{F}_{1}\)), \((\alpha_{n})\) is decreasing, and so \(\alpha_{n} \searrow t\geq0\). By (\(\mathcal{H}_{2}\)) there are \(c > 0\) and \(n_{0}\in \mathbb{N}\) such that \(\varphi(\alpha_{n})>0\) for each \(n \geq n_{0}\). Thus,
Taking \(n \to\infty\), \(\mathcal{F}(\alpha_{n}) \to-\infty\), so using (\(\mathcal{F}^{\prime\prime}_{2}\)), \(\alpha_{n} \to0\).
Suppose that \((\zeta_{n})\) is not a Cauchy sequence. Using (\(\mathcal {F}_{1}\)), the set ∇ of all discontinuity elements of \(\mathcal{F}\) is at most countable. There is \(\gamma>0\), \(\gamma\notin\nabla\) in order that for each \(k \geq0\) there are \(m_{k}, n_{k} \in\mathbb{N}\) such that
Denote by \(\bar{m}_{k}\) the least of \(m_{k}\) satisfying (9) and by \(\bar{n}_{k}\) the least of \(n_{k}\) so that \(\bar{m}_{k}< n_{k}\) and \(d(\zeta_{\bar{m}_{k}}, \zeta_{n_{k}})>\gamma\). Naturally, one writes that
Taking \(k_{0} \in\mathbb{N}\) such that for \(\alpha_{k}< \gamma\) for each \(k \geq k_{0}\), we have
Therefore,
Thus, we conclude that
From (\(\mathcal{H}^{\prime}_{3}\)), we get
\(k \geq0\). Now, using (10)–(13) and by the continuity of \(\mathcal{F}\) at γ, we get
which is a contradiction to (\(\mathcal{H}_{2}\)). Therefore \((\zeta_{n})\) is a Cauchy sequence. Hence, \(\zeta_{n}\to z\in X\) as \(n\to\infty\).
Since \(\operatorname{Gr}(T)\) is closed, at the limit \(n\rightarrow\infty\), \((\zeta_{n}, \zeta_{n+1}) \to(z, z)\) with \((z, z) \in \operatorname{Gr}(T)\). Thus, \(z \in Tz\), i.e., z is a fixed point of T. □
The upper semi-continuity condition is stronger than the closedness of \(\operatorname{Gr}(T)\). Consequently, we have the following result.
Theorem 2.2
Let \(T: X\to \mathit{CB}(X)\)be an \((\mathcal{F}_{s}, \mathcal {L})\)-contractive multivalued operator on a complete metric space. Assume thatTis upper semi-continuous. ThenTis an MWP operator.
Remark 2.1
Taking \(T: X \to K(X)\) in Theorem 2.1 and \(s\geq1\), we may omit condition (\(\mathcal{F}_{4}\)). In fact, let \(\zeta_{0} \in X\) and \(\zeta_{1}\in T\zeta_{0}\). If \(\zeta_{1}\in T\zeta_{1}\), then the proof is complete. Let \(\zeta_{1} \notin T\zeta_{1}\). Then, as \(T\zeta_{1}\) is closed, \(D(\zeta_{1}, T\zeta_{1}) > 0\). On the other hand, as \(D(\zeta_{1}, T\zeta_{1}) \leq H(T\zeta_{0}, T\zeta_{1})\), from (\(\mathcal{F}_{1}\)) we have
We also have \(D(\zeta_{1},T\zeta_{0})\le sd(\zeta_{1},\zeta_{0})\). Using (\(\mathcal{H}^{\prime}_{3}\)), we have
Since \(T\zeta_{1}\) is compact, there exists \(\zeta_{2}\in T\zeta_{1}\) such that \(d(\zeta_{1}, \zeta_{2}) = D(\zeta_{1}, T\zeta_{1})\). Then from (14) we have
The rest of the proof is similar to that of the proof of Theorem 2.1.
Our second result is as follows.
Theorem 2.3
Let \(T: X\to X\)be an \((\mathcal{F}_{s}, \mathcal{L})\)-contractive single-valued operator on a complete metric space. Assume that \(\operatorname{Gr}(T)\)is a closed subset of \(X^{2}\). ThenThas a fixed point. Moreover, if \(s\geq1\), then such a fixed point is unique.
Proof
Similar to the proof of Theorem 2.1, T has a fixed point. Let \(s\geq1\) and ζ, θ be two distinct fixed points of T. Then
implies
or
hence \(\zeta=\theta\). □
Definition 2.2
Let \(T: X\to \mathit{CB}(X)\) be a multivalued operator on a metric space \((X, d)\). Such T is an \((\mathcal{F}_{r, s}, \mathcal {L})\)-contraction if conditions (\(\mathcal{H}^{\prime}_{1}\)), (\(\mathcal {H}_{2}\)), and (\(\mathcal{H}^{\prime\prime}_{3}\)) are satisfied.
Our third main result is as follows.
Theorem 2.4
Let \(T: X \to \mathit{CB}(X)\)be an \((\mathcal{F}_{r, s}, \mathcal {L})\)-contraction on a complete metric space. Assume that \(\operatorname{Gr}(T)\)is a closed subset of \(X^{2}\). ThenTis a multivalued weakly Picard operator.
Proof
Consider \(t<1\) so that \(0\leq r< t< s\). Since \(\frac{1-t}{1-s}> 1\), by Lemma 1.1, \(\zeta_{1}\in X\), and so there is \(\zeta_{2}\in T\zeta _{1}\) such that
then
Since T is an \((\mathcal{F}_{r, s}, \mathcal{L})\)-contraction, we have
where
So (15) becomes
Since \(D(\zeta_{2}, T\zeta_{2}) \leq H(T\zeta_{1}, T\zeta_{2})\), from (\(\mathcal {F}_{1}\)) and (16), we have
As \(T\zeta_{2}\) is closed, \(D(\zeta_{2}, T\zeta_{2})>0\), and from (\(\mathcal{F}_{4}\))
By (17), we have
There is \(\zeta_{3}\in T\zeta_{2}\) such that
Continuing in this manner, we construct a sequence \(\{\zeta_{n}\}\) such that \(\zeta_{n+1}\in T\zeta_{n}\), and the following inequality holds:
for each \(n\geq1\).
As in the proof of Theorem 2.1, \((\zeta_{n})\) is a Cauchy sequence, and so \(\zeta_{n}\to z\in X\) as \(n\to\infty\). By the arguments similar to those given in Theorem 2.1, we have that \(D(z,Tz)=0\). □
The following example is in support of Theorem 2.1.
Example 2.1
Let \(X= \{0, 1, 2, 3\}\) and take \(d(\zeta,\theta)=|\zeta-\theta|\). Consider \(T: X \to \mathit{CB}(X)\) as
Then, for \((\zeta, \theta)\in\{(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (1, 0), (1, 1),(1, 2),(2, 0),(2, 1),(2, 2),(3, 3)\}\),
and for \((\zeta, \theta)\in\{(0, 3), (1, 3), (2, 3), (3, 0), (3, 1), (3, 2)\}\),
Choosing \(s=0.5\) and \((\zeta, \theta)\in\{(2, 3), (3, 2)\}\), we have
which gives
Now, for \((\zeta, \theta)\in\{(0, 3), (1, 3), (3, 0), (3, 1)\}\), we have
Hence, for any \(\mathcal{L}\geq0\), choosing \(\varphi(t)=\frac{1}{t}\) and \(\mathcal{F}(t)= t + \ln(t)\), we have
That is, T is an \((\mathcal{F}_{s}, \mathcal{L})\)-contraction. Also, \(\operatorname{Gr}(T)\) is a closed subset of \(X^{2}\). By Theorem 2.1, T has 2 and 3 as fixed points.
