A two-parameter control for contractive-like multivalued mappings

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We propose a general approach to defining a contractive-like multivalued mappings F which avoids any use of the Hausdorff distance between the sets F(x) and F(y). Various fixed point theorems are proved under a two-parameter control of the distance function dF(x)=dist(x,F(x)) between a point xinX and the value F(x)ssX. Here, both parameters are numerical functions. The first one a,:[0,+i)ightarrow[1,+i) controls the distance between x and some appropriate point yinF(x) in comparison with dF(x), whereas the second one estimates dF(y) with respect to d(x,y). It appears that the well harmonized relations between a and are sufficient for the existence of fixed points of F. Our results generalize several known fixed-point theorems.


In this very interesting paper, the author presents some fixed point theorems for a new class of contractive type multivalued mappings, namely, the so-called (\(\alpha\),\(\beta\))-contraction mappings (where \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are two functions on \([0,\infty)\)).NEWLINENEWLINEThe main purpose of this paper is to show that the Nadler contraction condition on a multivalued operator \(F\) is too restrictive for a successful construction of a Picard sequence of successive approximations which would converge to a fixed point of \(F\). Some nice examples are accompanying the theoretical result.
