Fixed points of generalized \(\alpha \)-\(\psi \)-contractions (Q740701)

In this paper, the authors introduce the class of \(\alpha-\psi\)-contractive maps and multifunctions defined on a complete metric space \(X\); here, \(\alpha:X\times X\to [-0,\infty)\) and \(\psi:[0,\infty)\to [0,\infty)\) are given functions satisfying some assumptions. Some results concerning fixed points of such maps are proved. No examples of applications are presented.
