We present a fixed-point theorem for a single-valued map in a complete metric space using implicit relation, which is a generalization of several previously stated results including that of Suziki 2008.
1. Introduction
There are a lot of generalizations of Banach fixed-point principle in the literature. See 1–
5. One of the most interesting generalizations is that given by Suzuki 6. This interesting fixed-point result is as follows.
Theorem 1.1. LetX, dbe a complete metric space, and letT be a mapping onX. Define a non- increasing functionθfrom0,1into1/2,1by

for allx, y∈X, then there exists a unique fixed-pointzofT. Moreover, limnTnxzfor allx∈X.
Like other generalizations mentioned above in this paper, the Banach contraction principle does not characterize the metric completeness of X. However,Theorem 1.1does characterize the metric completeness as follows.
Theorem 1.2. Define a nonincreasing functionθas inTheorem 1.1, then for a metric spaceX, d the following are equivalent:
iXis complete,
iiEvery mappingTonXsatisfying1.2has a fixed point.
In addition to the above results, Kikkawa and Suzuki 7 provide a Kannan type version of the theorems mentioned before. In8, it is provided a Chatterjea type version.
Popescu 9 gives a Ciric type version. Recently, Kikkawa and Suzuki also provide multivalued versions which can be found in10,11. Some fixed-point theorems related to Theorems1.1and1.2have also been proven in12,13.
The aim of this paper is to generalize the above results using the implicit relation technique in such a way that

, dx, Tx, d y, Ty
, d x, Ty

forx, y∈X, whereF:0,∞6 → Ris a function as given inSection 2.
2. Implicit Relation
Implicit relations on metric spaces have been used in many papers. See1,14–16.
LetR denote the nonnegative real numbers, and let Ψbe the set of all continuous functionsF :0,∞6 → Rsatisfying the following conditions:
F1:Ft1, . . . , t6is nonincreasing in variablest2, . . . , t6, F2: there existsr∈0,1, such that
Fu, v, v, u, uv,0≤0 2.1
or
Fu, v,0, uv, u, v≤0 2.2
or
Fu, v, v, v, v, v≤0 2.3
impliesu≤rv,
F3:Fu,0,0, u, u,0>0, for allu >0.
Example 2.1. Ft1, . . . , t6 t1−rt2, wherer∈0,1. It is clear thatF∈Ψ.
Example 2.2. Ft1, . . . , t6 t1−αt3t4, whereα∈0,1/2.
LetFu, v, v, u, uv,0 u−αuv≤0, then we haveu≤α/1−αv. Similarly, let Fu, v,0, uv, u, v≤0, then we haveu≤α/1−αv. Again, letFu, v, v, v, v, v≤0, then u≤2αv. Sinceα/1−α≤2α <1,F2is satisfied withr 2α. AlsoFu,0,0, u, u,0 1−αu >
0, for allu >0. Therefore,F∈Ψ.
Example 2.3. Ft1, . . . , t6 t1−αmax{t3, t4}, whereα∈0,1/2.
Let Fu, v, v, u, uv,0 u−αmax{u, v} ≤ 0, then we have u ≤ αv ≤ α/1 − αv. Similarly, let Fu, v,0, u v, u, v ≤ 0, then we have u ≤ α/1 −αv. Again, let Fu, v, v, v, v, v ≤ 0, thenu ≤ αv ≤ α/1−αv. Thus,F2 is satisfied withr α/1−α.
AlsoFu,0,0, u, u,0 1−αu >0, for allu >0. Therefore,F ∈Ψ.
Example 2.4. Ft1, . . . , t6 t1−αt5t6, whereα∈0,1/2.
LetFu, v, v, u, uv,0 u−αuv≤0, then we haveu≤α/1−αv. Similarly, let Fu, v,0, uv, u, v≤0, then we haveu≤α/1−αv. Again, letFu, v, v, v, v, v≤0, then u≤2αv. Sinceα/1−α≤2α <1,F2is satisfied withr 2α. AlsoFu,0,0, u, u,0 1−αu >
0, for allu >0. Therefore,F∈Ψ.
Example 2.5. Ft1, . . . , t6 t1−at3−bt4, wherea, b∈0,1/2.
LetFu, v, v, u, uv,0 u−av−bu≤ 0, then we haveu≤ a/1−bv. Similarly, let Fu, v,0, uv, u, v ≤ 0, then we have u ≤ b/1−bv. Again, let Fu, v, v, v, v, v ≤ 0, then u ≤ abv. Thus,F2 is satisfied withr max{a/1−b, b/1−b, ab}. Also Fu,0,0, u, u,0 1−bu >0, for allu >0. Therefore,F∈Ψ.
3. Main Result
Theorem 3.1. Let X, d be a complete metric space, and let T be a mapping on X. Define a nonincreasing functionθfrom0,1into1/2,1as inTheorem 1.1. Assume that there existsF∈Ψ, such thatθrdx, Tx≤dx, yimplies
F d
Tx, Ty , d
x, y
, dx, Tx, d y, Ty
, d x, Ty
, d y, Tx
≤0, 3.1
for allx, y∈X, thenT has a unique fixed-pointzand limnTnxzholds for everyx∈X.
Proof. Sinceθr≤1,θrdx, Tx≤dx, Txholds for everyx∈X, by hypotheses, we have
F d
Tx, T2x , dx, Tx, dx, Tx, d
Tx, T2x , d
x, T2x ,0 ≤0, 3.2
and so fromF1, F
d
Tx, T2x , dx, Tx, dx, Tx, d
Tx, T2x , dx, Tx d
Tx, T2x ,0 ≤0. 3.3
ByF2, we have
d
Tx, T2x ≤rdx, Tx, 3.4
for allx∈X. Now fixu∈Xand define a sequence{un}inXbyun Tnu. Then from3.4, we have
dun, un1 d
Tun−1, T2un−1 ≤rdun−1, Tun−1≤ · · · ≤rndu, Tu. 3.5
This shows that∞
n1dun, un1<∞, that is,{un}is Cauchy sequence. SinceX is complete, {un}converges to some pointz∈X. Now, we show that
dTx, z≤rdx, z ∀x∈X\ {z}. 3.6
Forx ∈X\ {z}, there existsn0 ∈N, such thatdun, z ≤ dx, z/3 for alln ≥ n0. Then, we have
θrdun, Tun≤dun, Tun dun, un1
≤dun, z dz, un1
≤ 2
3dx, z dx, z−dx, z 3
≤dx, z−dun, z≤dun, x.
3.7
Hence, by hypotheses, we have
FdTun, Tx, dun, x, dun, Tun, dx, Tx, dun, Tx, dx, Tun≤0, 3.8
and so
Fdun1, Tx, dun, x, dun, un1, dx, Tx, dun, Tx, dx, un1≤0. 3.9
Lettingn → ∞, we have
Fdz, Tx, dz, x,0, dx, Tx, dz, Tx, dx, z≤0, 3.10
and so
Fdz, Tx, dz, x,0, dx, z dz, Tx, dz, Tx, dx, z≤0. 3.11
ByF2, we have
dz, Tx≤rdx, z, 3.12
and this shows that3.6is true.
Now, we assume thatTmz /zfor allm∈N, then from3.6, we have
d
Tm1z, z ≤rmdTz, z, 3.13
for allm∈N.
Case 1. Let 0≤r≤√
5−1/2. In this case,θr 1. Now, we show by induction that
dTnz, Tz≤rdz, Tz, 3.14
forn≥2. From3.4,3.14holds forn2. Assume that3.14holds for somenwithn≥2.
Since
dz, Tz≤dz, Tnz dTnz, Tz
≤dz, Tnz rdz, Tz, 3.15
we have
dz, Tz≤ 1
1−rdz, Tnz, 3.16
and so
θrd
Tnz, Tn1z d
Tnz, Tn1z ≤rndz, Tz
≤ rn
1−rdz, Tnz≤ r2
1−rdz, Tnz
≤dz, Tnz.
3.17
Therefore, by hypotheses, we have
F d
Tn1z, Tz , dTnz, z, d
Tnz, Tn1z , dz, Tz, dTnz, Tz, d
z, Tn1z
≤0, 3.18
and so
F d
Tn1z, Tz , rn−1dTz, z, rndz, Tz, dz, Tz, rdz, Tz, rndz, Tz ≤0, 3.19
then
F d
Tn1z, Tz , dTz, z, dz, Tz, dz, Tz, dz, Tz, dz, Tz ≤0, 3.20
and byF2, we have
d
Tn1z, Tz ≤rdTz, z. 3.21
Therefore,3.14holds.
Now, from3.6, we have d
Tn1z, z ≤rdTnz, z≤rndTz, z. 3.22
This shows thatTnz → z, which contradicts3.14.
Case 2. Let√
5−1/2≤r ≤√
2/2. In this case,θr 1−r/r2. Again we want to show that 3.14is true forn≥2. From3.4,3.14holds forn2. Assume that3.14holds for some nwithn≥2. Since
dz, Tz≤dz, Tnz dTnz, Tz
≤dz, Tnz rdz, Tz, 3.23
we have
dz, Tz≤ 1
1−rdz, Tnz, 3.24
and so
θrd
Tnz, Tn1z 1−r r2 d
Tnz, Tn1z ≤ 1−r rn d
Tnz, Tn1z
≤1−rdz, Tz≤dz, Tnz.
3.25
Therefore, as in the previous case, we can prove that3.14is true forn≥2. Again from3.6, we have
d
Tn1z, z ≤rdTnz, z≤rndTz, z. 3.26
This shows thatTnz → z, which contradicts3.14.
Case 3. Let√
2/2≤r <1. In this case,θr 1/1r. Note that forx, y∈X, either θrdx, Tx≤d
x, y
3.27
or
θrd
Tx, T2x ≤d Tx, y
3.28
holds. Indeed, if
θrdx, Tx> d x, y
,
θrd
Tx, T2x > d Tx, y
, 3.29
then we have
dx, Tx≤d x, y
d Tx, y
< θr
dx, Tx d Tx, T2x
≤θrdx, Tx rdx, Tx dx, Tx,
3.30
which is a contradiction. Therefore, either
θrdu2n, Tu2n≤du2n, z 3.31
or
θrdu2n1, Tu2n1≤du2n1, z 3.32
holds for everyn∈N. If
θrdu2n, Tu2n≤du2n, z 3.33
holds, then by hypotheses we have
FdTu2n, Tz, du2n, z, du2n, Tu2n, dz, Tz, du2n, Tz, dz, Tu2n≤0, 3.34
and so
Fdu2n1, Tz, du2n, z, du2n, u2n1, dz, Tz, du2n, Tz, dz, u2n1≤0. 3.35
Lettingn → ∞, we have
Fdz, Tz,0,0, dz, Tz, dz, Tz,0≤0, 3.36
which contradictsF3. If
θrdu2n1, Tu2n1≤du2n1, z 3.37
holds, then by hypotheses we have
FdTu2n1, Tz, du2n1, z, du2n1, Tu2n1, dz, Tz, du2n1, Tz, dz, Tu2n1≤0, 3.38
and so
Fdu2n2, Tz, du2n1, z, du2n1, u2n2, dz, Tz, du2n1, Tz, dz, u2n2≤0. 3.39
Lettingn → ∞, we have
Fdz, Tz,0,0, dz, Tz, dz, Tz,0≤0, 3.40
which contradictsF3.
Therefore, in all the cases, there existsm∈N, such thatTmzz. Since{Tnz}is Cauchy sequence, we obtainTz z. That is,zis a fixed point of T. The uniqueness of fixed point follows easily from3.6.
Remark 3.2. If we combineTheorem 3.1with Examples2.1,2.2,2.3, and2.4, we have Theorem 2 of6, Theorem 2.2 of7, Theorem 3.1 of7, and Theorem 4 of8, respectively.
UsingExample 2.5, we obtain the following result.
Corollary 3.3. Let X, d be a complete metric space, and let T be a mapping on X. Define a nonincreasing functionθfrom0,1into1/2,1as inTheorem 1.1. Assume that
θrdx, Tx≤d x, y
3.41
implies
d
Tx, Ty
≤adx, Tx bd y, Ty
, 3.42
for allx, y∈X, wherea, b∈0,1/2, then there exists a unique fixed point ofT.
Remark 3.4. We obtain some new results, if we combine Theorem 3.1with some examples ofF.
