A two-parameter control for contractive-like multivalued mappings

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

d_{F} (x) = d i s t (x, F (x))

between a point

x i n X

and the value

F (x) s s X

. Here, both parameters are numerical functions. The first one

a, : [0, + i) i g h t a r r o w [1, + i)

controls the distance between

x

and some appropriate point

y i n F (x)

in comparison with

d_{F} (x)

, whereas the second one

estimates

d_{F} (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.
