Abstract

:
In this paper, we generalize some results of Wardowski (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012:94, 2012), Cosentino and Vetro (Filomat 28:4, 2014), and Piri and Kumam (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2014:210, 2014) theories by applying some weaker symmetrical conditions on the self map of a complete metric space and on the mapping F, concerning the contractions defined by Wardowski.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries

Throughout this article, we denote by N the set of all natural numbers, by R the set of all real numbers, and by R + the set of all positive real numbers.
The Banach contraction principle [1] is the starting point in fixed point theory. This theorem has a lot of applications in many disciplines such as chemistry, physics, biology, computer science, and other branches of mathematics. Many authors improved, generalized and extended this classical result in nonlinear analysis. They defined new contractive mappings in the context of a complete metric space or investigated the existing contractive mappings in various abstract spaces, see e.g., [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13] and references therein. In particular, in 1962, Edelstein [14] proved the following version of the Banach contraction principle.
Theorem 1.
([14]). Let X , d be a compact metric space and let T : X X be a self-mapping. Assume that d T x , T y < d x , y holds for all x , y X with x y . Then T has a unique fixed point in X.
Recently, in 2012, Wardowski [15] introduced a new type of contraction called F-contraction and generalized the Banach contraction principle.
Definition 1.
([15]). Let ( X , d ) be a metric space. A mapping T : X X is called an F-contraction if there exist τ > 0 and F F such that
τ + F ( d ( T x , T y ) ) F ( d ( x , y ) )
holds for any x , y X with d ( T x , T y ) > 0 , where F is the set of all functions F : R + R satisfying the following conditions:
(F1) 
F is strictly increasing: x < y F ( x ) < F ( y ) ;
(F2) 
For each sequence α n n N in R + , lim n α n = 0 if and only if
lim n F ( α n ) = ;
(F3) 
There exists k ( 0 , 1 ) such that lim α 0 + α k F ( α ) = 0 .
Remark 1.
Obviously, if T satisfies Inequality (1) and F is an increasing function (not necessary strictly increasing), then T is contractive, i.e.,
d ( T x , T y ) < d ( x , y ) , x , y X , x y ,
so T is continuous.
The following theorem is Wardowski’s result:
Theorem 2.
([15]). Let ( X , d ) be a complete metric space and let T : X X an F-contraction. Then T has a unique fixed point x * X and for every x X the sequence T n x n N converges to x * .
Secelean [16] showed that the condition (F2) in Definition 1 can be replaced by an equivalent condition,
(F2′)  inf F =
or, also, by
(F2″) there exists a sequence α n n N of positive real numbers such that
lim n F ( α n ) = .
He proved the following lemma:
Lemma 1.
([16]). Let F : R + R be an increasing mapping and α n n N be a sequence of positive real numbers. Then the following assertions hold:
(i) 
if lim n F ( α n ) = , then lim n α n = 0 ;
(ii) 
if inf F = , and lim n α n = 0 , then lim n F ( α n ) = .
Remark 2.
Wardowski showed that if we take F B : R + R , F B ( α ) = ln α , then F B F , and the F B -contraction reduces to a Banach contraction. Therefore, the Banach contractions are a particular case of F-contractions. Meanwhile there exist F-contractions which are not Banach contractions (see [15]).
Cosentino and Vetro [17] introduced the notion of F-contraction of Hardy–Rogers-type and generalized the result of Wardowski.
Definition 2.
([17]). Let ( X , d ) be a metric space. A mapping T : X X is called an F-contraction of Hardy–Rogers-type if there exist τ > 0 and F F such that
τ + F ( d ( T x , T y ) ) F ( α · d ( x , y ) + β · d ( x , T x ) + γ · d ( y , T y ) + δ · d ( x , T y ) + L · d ( y , T x ) )
holds for any x , y X with d ( T x , T y ) > 0 , where α , β , γ , δ , L are non-negative numbers, γ 1 and α + β + γ + 2 δ = 1 .
Theorem 3.
([17]). Let ( X , d ) be a complete metric space and let T be a self-mapping on X. Assume that T is an F-contraction of Hardy–Rogers-type, where γ 1 . Then T has a fixed point. Moreover, if α + δ + L 1 , then the fixed point of T is unique.
Very recently, Piri and Kumam [18] introduced the following condition instead of the condition ( F 3 ) in Definition 1:
(F3′) F is continuous on ( 0 , ) .
They denoted by F the set of all functions satisfying the conditions ( F 1 ) , ( F 2 ) and ( F 3 ) and proved the following generalization of the Banach contraction principle:
Theorem 4.
([18]). Let T be a self-mapping of a complete metric space X into itself. Suppose F F and there exists τ > 0 such that
x , y X , [ d ( T x , T y ) > 0 τ + F ( d ( T x , T y ) ) F ( d ( x , y ) ) ] .
Then T has a unique fixed point x * X and for every x X the sequence T n x n N converges to x * .
Remark 3.
Piri and Kumam showed that ( F 3 ) and ( F 3 ) are independent of each other, i.e., F \ F , F \ F and F F . More precisely, for F ( α ) = 1 / α p , p 1 , we have F F , F F , and for F ( α ) = 1 / ( α + [ α ] ) t , t ( 0 , c ) , c < 1 , we have F F and F F . Also, for F ( α ) = ln α , we have F F F .
The reader interested in fixed points results obtained employing the concept of F-contraction is referred to [19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31]. In this paper, we proved that some of the conditions in Theorems 2–4 are superfluous.

2. Main Results

The following theorem is a partial generalization of Theorem 3 and a generalization of Theorem 2.
Theorem 5.
Let T be a selfmapping of a complete metric space X into itself. Suppose there exists τ > 0 such that for all x , y X , d ( T x , T y ) > 0
τ + F ( d ( T x , T y ) ) F ( α · d ( x , y ) + β · d ( x , T x ) + γ · d ( y , T y ) + δ · d ( x , T y ) + L · d ( y , T x ) ) ,
where F : R + R is an increasing mapping, α , β , γ , δ , L are non-negative numbers, δ < 1 / 2 , γ < 1 , α + β + γ + 2 δ = 1 , 0 < α + δ + L 1 . Then T has a unique fixed point x * X and for every x X the sequence T n x n N converges to x * .
Proof. 
Let x 0 X be an arbitrary point and construct a sequence x n n N X by
x 1 = T x 0 , x 2 = T x 1 = T 2 x 0 , , x n = T x n 1 = T n x 0 , n N .
If there exists n N 0 such that d ( x n , T x n ) = 0 , then x n is a fixed point of T and the proof is complete. Hence, we assume that
0 < d ( x n , T x n ) = d ( T x n 1 , T x n ) , n N .
Now, let d n = d ( x n , x n + 1 ) . By the hypothesis and the monotony of F, we have for all n N
τ + F ( d n ) = τ + F ( d ( x n , x n + 1 ) ) = τ + F ( d ( T x n 1 , T x n ) ) F ( α d ( x n 1 , x n ) + β d ( x n 1 , T x n 1 ) + γ d ( x n , T x n ) + δ d ( x n 1 , T x n ) + L d ( x n , T x n 1 ) ) = F ( α d ( x n 1 , x n ) + β d ( x n 1 , x n ) + γ d ( x n , x n + 1 ) + δ d ( x n 1 , x n + 1 ) + L d ( x n , x n ) ) = F ( α d n 1 + β d n 1 + γ d n + δ d ( x n 1 , x n + 1 ) ) F ( α d n 1 + β d n 1 + γ d n + δ ( d n 1 + d n ) ) = F ( ( α + β + δ ) d n 1 + ( γ + δ ) d n ) ) .
It follows that
F ( d n ) F ( ( α + β + δ ) d n 1 + ( γ + δ ) d n ) ) τ < F ( ( α + β + δ ) d n 1 + ( γ + δ ) d n ) ) ,
so from the monotony of F, we get
d n < ( α + β + δ ) d n 1 + ( γ + δ ) d n ,
and hence
( 1 γ δ ) d n < ( α + β + δ ) d n 1 ,
for all n N . Since γ 1 and α + β + γ + 2 δ = 1 , we deduce that 1 γ δ > 0 and so
d n < α + β + δ 1 γ δ d n 1 = d n 1 ,
for all n N . Thus, we conclude that the sequence d n n N is strictly decreasing, so there exists lim n d n = d . Suppose that d > 0 . Since F is an increasing mapping there exists lim x d + F ( x ) = F ( d + 0 ) , so taking the limit as n in Inequality (5) we get F ( d + 0 ) F ( d + 0 ) τ , which is a contradiction. Therefore,
lim n d n = 0 .
Now, we claim that x n n N is a Cauchy sequence. Arguing by contradiction, we assume that there exist ϵ > 0 and sequences p ( n ) n N and q ( n ) n N of natural numbers such that p ( n ) > q ( n ) > n ,
d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) > ϵ , d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) ) ϵ , n N .
Then, we have
ϵ < d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) d ( x p ( n ) , x p ( n ) 1 ) + d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) ) d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x p ( n ) ) + ϵ .
It follows from Relation (6) and the above inequality that
lim n d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) = ϵ .
Since d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) > ϵ > 0 , by the hypothesis and the monotony of F, we have
τ + F ( d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) ) F ( α d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) 1 ) + β d ( x p ( n ) 1 , T x p ( n ) 1 ) + γ d ( x q ( n ) 1 , T x q ( n ) 1 ) + δ d ( x p ( n ) 1 , T x q ( n ) 1 ) + L d ( T x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) 1 ) ) = F ( α d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) 1 ) + β d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x p ( n ) ) + γ d ( x q ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) ) + δ d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) ) + L d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) 1 ) ) F ( α [ d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) + d p ( n ) 1 + d q ( n ) 1 ] + β d p ( n ) 1 + γ d q ( n ) 1 + δ [ d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) + d p ( n ) 1 ] + L [ d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) + d q ( n ) 1 ] ) = F ( ( α + δ + L ) d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) + ( α + β + δ ) d p ( n ) 1 + ( α + γ + L ) d q ( n ) 1 ) F ( d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) + d p ( n ) 1 + ( α + γ + L ) d q ( n ) 1 ) .
Taking the limit as n in the above inequality, we get τ + F ( ϵ + 0 ) F ( ϵ + 0 ) , which is a contradiction. This shows that x n n N is a Cauchy sequence. Since ( X , d ) is a complete metric space, we have that x n n N converges to some point x * in X.
If there exists a sequence p ( n ) n N of natural numbers such that x p ( n ) + 1 = T x p ( n ) = T x * , then lim n x p ( n ) + 1 = x * , so T x * = x * . Otherwise, there exists N N such that x n + 1 = T x n T x * , n N . Assume that T x * x * . By the hypothesis, we have
τ + F ( d ( T x n , T x * ) ) F α d ( x n , x * ) + β d ( x n , T x n ) + γ d ( x * , T x * ) + δ d ( x n , T x * ) + L d ( T x n , x * ) ,
so
τ + F ( d ( T x n , T x * ) ) = F ( α d ( x n , x * ) + β d ( x n , x n + 1 ) + γ d ( x * , T x * ) + δ d ( x n , T x * ) + L d ( x n + 1 , x * ) ) .
Since F is increasing, we deduce that
d ( T x n , T x * ) < α d ( x n , x * ) + β d ( x n , x n + 1 ) + γ d ( x * , T x * ) + δ d ( x n , T x * ) + L d ( x n + 1 , x * ) ,
so letting n tend to , we get
d ( x * , T x * ) γ d ( x * , T x * ) + δ d ( x * , T x * ) < d ( x * , T x * ) .
This is a contradiction. Therefore, T x * = x * . Now, we will show that T has a unique fixed point. Let x , y X be two distinct fixed points of T. Thus T x = x y = T y . Hence, d ( T x , T y ) = d ( x , y ) > 0 . By the hypothesis, since 0 < α + δ + L 1 , we have
τ + F ( d ( x , y ) ) = τ + F ( d ( T x , T y ) ) F ( α d ( x , y ) + β d ( x , T x ) + γ d ( y , T y ) + δ d ( x , T y ) + L d ( y , T x ) ) = F ( α d ( x , y ) + δ d ( x , y ) + L d ( x , y ) ) F ( ( α + δ + L ) d ( x , y ) F ( d ( x , y ) )
This is a contradiction. Therefore, T has a unique fixed point. ☐
As a first corollary of Theorem 5, taking α = 1 and β = γ = δ = L = 0 , we obtain Theorem 2 of Wardowski. Furthermore, for δ = L = 0 , we obtain a Reich [12] type theorem.
Corollary 1.
Let ( X , d ) be a complete metric space and let T be a self-mapping on X. Assume that there exist F : R + R an increasing mapping and τ > 0 such that
τ + F ( d ( T x , T y ) ) F ( α · d ( x , y ) + β · d ( x , T x ) + γ · d ( y , T y ) ) ,
for all x , y X , T x T y , where α + β + γ = 1 , α > 0 . Then T has a unique fixed point in X.
Corollary 2.
Let ( X , d ) be a complete metric space and let T be a self-mapping on X. Assume that there exist F : R + R an increasing mapping and τ > 0 such that
τ + F ( d ( T x , T y ) ) F ( d ( x , y ) ) ,
for all x , y X , T x T y . Then T has a unique fixed point in X.
Example 1.
Let X = A n : n N B and d : X × X 0 , such that d A n , A n = d B , B = 0 for every n, d A n , A n + p = d A n + p , A n = d A n , B = d B , A n = 1 n for all n , p N .
Obviously X , d is a complete metric space.
Let T : X X such that T A n = A n + 1 and T B = B .
Let us suppose that there exist F : R + R satisfying the hypothesis of Theorem 2. Taking x = A n + i , y = A n + i + 1 , we have for every n 1 and i 0
τ + F d T A n + i , T A n + i + 1 = τ + F 1 n + i + 1 F 1 n + i
We get
p 1 i = 0 τ + F 1 n + i + 1 p 1 i = 0 F 1 n + i , p N ,
by where
p τ + F 1 n + p F 1 n ,
hence
τ + 1 p F 1 n + p 1 p F 1 n .
Taking p integer such that p n k < p + 1 , we get by F 3 lim n n k p = 1 , so lim n 1 p F 1 n = lim n n k p · 1 n k F 1 n = 0 and lim n 1 p F 1 n + p = lim n n + p k n k · n k p · 1 n + p k F 1 n + p = 0 .
Therefore, taking the limit as n in Inequality (9) we obtain τ 0 , a contradiction. Hence F cannot satisfy the hypothesis of Theorem 2.
But F : R + R , F x = 1 x is increasing and satisfies Corollary 2:
τ + F d T A n , T A n + p = τ + F 1 n + 1 = τ n 1 n = F 1 n = F d A n , A n + p , for τ 1 ,
τ + F d T A n , T B = τ + F 1 n + 1 F 1 n = F d A n , B , for τ 1 .
Now, we will prove a new version of Theorem 2, which shows that the monotony of F it is not a necessary condition.
Theorem 6.
Let T be a selfmapping of a complete metric space X into itself. Suppose there exists τ > 0 such that
x , y X , [ d ( T x , T y ) > 0 τ + F ( d ( T x , T y ) ) F ( d ( x , y ) ) ] ,
where F : R + R is a mapping satisfying the conditions ( F 2 ) and ( F 3 ) , where
(F3″) F is continuous on ( 0 , α ) , with α a positive real number.
Then, T has a unique fixed point x * X and for every x X the sequence T n x n N converges to x * .
Proof. 
The proof is similar to the proof of Theorem 2.1 in the paper [18]. Choose x 0 X and construct a sequence x n n N X by
x 1 = T x 0 , x 2 = T x 1 = T 2 x 0 , , x n = T x n 1 = T n x 0 , n N .
If there exists n N 0 such that d ( x n , T x n ) = 0 , then x n is a fixed point of T and the proof is complete. Hence, we assume that
0 < d ( x n , T x n ) = d ( T x n 1 , T x n ) , n N .
By the hypothesis we have
τ + F ( d ( T x n 1 , T x n ) ) F ( d ( x n 1 , x n ) ) , n N ,
i.e.,
F ( d ( T x n 1 , T x n ) ) F ( d ( x n 1 , x n ) ) τ = F ( d ( T x n 2 , T x n 1 ) ) τ F ( d ( x n 2 , x n 1 ) ) 2 τ = F ( d ( T x n 3 , T x n 2 ) ) 2 τ F ( d ( x n 3 , x n 2 ) ) 3 τ = F ( d ( T x n 4 , T x n 3 ) ) 3 τ F ( d ( x 0 , x 1 ) ) n τ .
This implies that
lim n F ( d ( x n , x n + 1 ) ) = lim n F ( d ( T x n 1 , T x n ) ) = .
By ( F 2 ) we obtain that
lim n d ( x n , x n + 1 ) = 0 .
Now, we claim that x n n N is a Cauchy sequence. Arguing by contradiction, we assume that there exists 0 < ϵ < α and sequences p ( n ) n N and q ( n ) n N of natural numbers such that
p ( n ) > q ( n ) > n , d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) ϵ , d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) ) < ϵ , n N .
Like in the proof of Theorem 5, we obtain
lim n d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) = lim n d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) 1 ) = ϵ .
By the hypothesis, we have
τ + F ( d ( T x p ( n ) 1 , T x q ( n ) 1 ) ) F ( d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) 1 ) ) , n N .
This implies
τ + F ( d ( x p ( n ) , x q ( n ) ) ) F ( d ( x p ( n ) 1 , x q ( n ) 1 ) ) , n N .
By ( F 3 ) , taking the limit as n , we get τ + F ( ϵ ) F ( ϵ ) , which is a contradiction. Therefore, x n n N is a Cauchy sequence. By completeness of ( X , d ) , it follows that x n n N converges to some point x * X .
Now, we claim that x * is a fixed point of T. Arguing by contradiction, we assume that T x * x * . If there exists a sequence p n n N of natural numbers such that x p ( n ) + 1 = T x p ( n ) = T x * , then lim n x p ( n ) + 1 = x * , so T x * = x * . This is a contradiction. Hence, there exists N N such that x n + 1 = T x n T x * , n N . Then, by hypothesis, we get
τ + F ( d ( x n + 1 , T x * ) ) F ( d ( x n , x * ) ) , n N .
By ( F 3 ) , taking the limit as n in the above inequality, we have lim n F ( d ( x n + 1 , T x * ) ) = . Hence, by ( F 2 ) we get lim n d ( x n + 1 , T x * ) = 0 , which implies d ( x * , T x * ) = 0 . This is a contradiction. Therefore, x * is a fixed point of T. The uniqueness yields the same results as in the proof of Theorem 5. ☐
Example 2.
Let X = A , B , C , D , E and d : X × X 0 , such that
d M , M = 0 , for every M X ,
d M , N = d N , M for every M , N X ,
d A , B = d A , C = d A , D = d B , C = d B , D = 2 ,
d A , E = d B , E = d C , D = 3 , d C , E = d D , E = 3 2 .
Obviously, d is a metric on X and X , d is a complete metric space.
Let T : X X such that T A = C , T B = D , T C = T D = T E = E .
Every F : R + R satisfying Relation (10) cannot be increasing because F d T A , T B = F d C , D = F 3 , F d A , B = F 2 , so F does not verify F 1 .
Let F : R + R ,
F x = 1 x , x 0 , 3 2 x 13 6 , x 3 2 , 5 2 4 x + 11 3 , x 5 2 , 5 x 8 , x 5 ,
It is easy to prove that F satisfy F 3 and F 2 .
For x = A , y = C or x = A , y = D or x = B , y = C or x = B , y = D we have F d T x , T y = F 3 2 = 2 3 and F d x , y = F 2 = 1 6 so we have τ 2 3 1 6 or τ 1 2 .
For x = A , y = E or x = B , y = E we get F d T x , T y = F 3 2 = 2 3 and F d x , y = F 3 = 1 3 so we have τ 2 3 1 3 or τ 1 3 .
Hence we can choose τ = 1 6 . Therefore, F satisfies the hypothesis of Theorem 6, but does not verify Theorem 2.

3. Conclusions

In this paper, we generalize some results of Wardowski (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012:94, 2012), Cosentino and Vetro (Filomat 28:4, 2014), and Piri and Kumam (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2014:210, 2014) theorems by applying some weaker conditions on the self map of a complete metric space and on the mapping F, concerning the contractions defined by Wardowski. Furthermore, we presented some examples to support our main results.
