Fixed point theory of cyclical generalized contractive conditions in partial metric spaces (Q395216)

Let \((X,p)\) be a partial metric space, \(m\in N\), \(\{A_1,\dots{},A_m\}\) be nonempty subsets of \(X\) and \(Y=A_1\cup\dots{} \cup A_m\). An operator \(f:Y\to Y\) is called a cyclic CW-contraction if {\parindent=7mm \begin{itemize}\item[(i)] for each \(i\in \{1,\dots{},n\}\): \(f(A_i)=A_{i+1}\), where \(A_{m+1}=A_1\), \item[(ii)] for each \(i\in\{1,\dots{},m\}\), \(x\in A_i\), \(y\in A_{i+1}\), \[ \varphi(p(fx,fy))\leq \psi(\varphi(p(x,y)),\varphi(p(x,fx)),\varphi(p(y,fy)))-\phi(M(x,y)), \] where \(\varphi\in \Theta, \psi\in \Psi, \phi\in \Phi\), and \(M(x,y)=\max\{p(x,y),p(x,fx),p(y,fy)\}\). \end{itemize}} The following is the author's main result: {Theorem.} Let \((X,p)\) be a complete partial metric space, \(m\in N\), \(\{A_1,\dots{},A_m\}\) be nonempty closed subsets of \(X\) and \(Y=A_1\cup\dots{} \cup A_m\). Further, let the operator \(f:Y\to Y\) be a cyclic CW-contraction. Then, \(f\) has a unique fixed point in \(A_1\cap \dots{}\cap A_m\). A counterpart of this result for cyclic MK-contractions is also given, under the same general directions.
