Common fixed point theorems for subcompatible D-maps of integral type

H. Bouhadjera, A. Djoudi

Abstract

Some common fixed point theorems for two pairs of subcompatible single and multivaluedD-maps in metric spaces are obtained extending some results of single-valued maps of Jungck and Rhoades [9].

2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47H10, 54H25.

Key words and phrases: Weakly compatible maps, Subcompatible maps, Occasionally weakly compatible maps, Integral type,D-maps, Common fixed

point theorems.

1 Introduction

To generalize commuting maps, Sessa [10] introduced the notion of weakly commuting maps.

Later on, Jungck generalized commuting and weakly commuting maps, first to compatible maps [6] and then to weakly compatible maps [7].

And in 1998, the same author with Rhoades [8] extended the concept of weakly compatible maps to the setting of single and multivalued maps by giving the notion of subcompatible maps.

Recently in 2008, Al-Thagafi and Shahzad [2] introduced the concept of occasionally weakly compatible maps (owc) which is a proper generalization of nontrivial weakly compatible maps which do have a coincidence point.

2 Preliminaries

Throughout this paper X stands for a metric with the metric d and B(X) denotes the family of all nonempty, bounded subsets of X. Define for all A, B inB(X)

δ(A, B) = sup{d(a, b) :a∈A, b∈B}.

If A={a}, we write δ(A, B) = δ(a, B) and δ(A, B) =d(a, b) ifA ={a} and B = {b}. For all A, B, C in B(X), the definition of δ yields the following properties:

δ(A, B) = δ(B, A)≥0, δ(A, B) δ(A, C) +δ(C, B), δ(A, A) = diamA,

δ(A, B) = 0⇔A=B={a}.

Definition 1 ([4]) A sequence {An} of nonempty subsets of X is said to be convergent towards a subset A of X if,

(i) each point a of A is a limit of a convergent sequence {an}, where an∈An for n∈N,

(ii) for arbitrary ² > 0, there is an integer m such that n > m, An A². A² ={x ∈ X :∃a∈ A, a depending onx andd(x, a)< ²}. A is then said to be the limit of the sequence {An}.

Lemma 1 ([4]) Let {An},{Bn}be sequences inB(X) converging respectively to A and B in B(X), then the sequence of numbers{δ(An, Bn)} converges to δ(A, B).

Lemma 2 ([5]) Let {An} be a sequence in B(X) and y be a point in X such thatδ(An, y)→0. Then the sequence {An} converges to the set {y}in B(X).

Definition 2 ([10]) Self-mapsf andg of a metric space (X, d) are said to be weakly commuting if, for all x∈ X

d(f gx, gf x)≤d(gx, f x).

Definition 3 ([6]) Self-mapsf andgof a metric space (X, d)are called com- patible if

n→∞lim d(f gxn, gf xn) = 0

(3)

whenever {xn}is a sequence in X such that lim

n→∞f xn= lim

n→∞gxn=tfor some t∈ X.

Definition 4 ([7]) Two maps f,g:X → X are said to be weakly compatible if they commute at their coincidence points.

Definition 5 ([8]) Maps f : X → X and F : X → B(X) are said to be subcompatible if they commute at coincidence points; that is,

{t∈ X/F t={f t}} ⊆ {t∈ X/F f t=f F t}.

Definition 6 ([2]) Two self-maps f and g of a set X are owc if and only if there is a point t∈ X which is a coincidence point of f and g at whichf and g commute.

In their paper [3], Djoudi and Khemis gave the notion of D-maps which extended the notion of property (E.A) given by Aamri and El Moutawakil [1].

Definition 7 ([3]) Maps f : X → X and F : X → B(X) are said to be D-maps iff there exists a sequence {xn} in X such that for somet∈ X

n→∞limf xn=tand lim

n→∞F xn={t}.

Our objective here is to prove some common fixed point theorems for two pairs of subcompatible single and multivalued D-maps satisfying contractive condition of integral type in metric spaces. These results extend the results of Jungck and Rhoades [9].

For our main results we need the following:

Let Ψ be the set of all continuous maps ψ:R+ R such that (ψ1) : for all u,v inR+, if

a) : ψ(u, v, v, u, u+v,0)0 or (ψb) : ψ(u, v, u, v,0, u+v)≤0 we have u≤v

2) : ϕ(u, u,0,0, u, u)>0 for allu >0,

next, let Φ be the set of all maps ϕ : R+ R+ such that ϕ is Lebesgue- integrable which is summable nonnegative and satisfiesR²

0 ϕ(t)dt >0 for each

² >0,

and let F be the set of all continuous maps z:R+R+ such thatz(t) = 0 iff t= 0.

3 Main results

Theorem 1 Let (X, d) be a metric space and let f, g :X → X; F, G:X → B(X) be single and multivalued maps, respectively. Suppose that

(1) f andg are surjective,

(2) ψ

0 for all x, y in X, where ψ∈Ψand ϕ∈Φ. If either

(3) f andF are subcompatible D-maps;g andG are subcompatible, or (30) g and G are subcompatible D-maps;f and F are subcompatible.

Then, f, g, F and G have a unique common fixed point t ∈ X such that F t=Gt={f t}={gt}={t}.

Proof. Suppose thatf andF areD-maps, then, there exists a sequence{xn} inX such that lim

n→∞f xn=tand lim

n→∞F xn={t} for somet∈ X. By vertue of condition (1) there are two points uand v inX such thatt=f u=gv.

We show thatGv={gv}. Indeed, by inequality (2) we have ψ

ÃZ δ(F xn,Gv)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z d(f xn,gv)

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(f xn,F xn)

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(f xn,Gv)

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(gv,F xn)

0.

Since ψ is continuous, we get at infinity ψ

ÃZ δ(gv,Gv)

0

ϕ(t)dt,0,0,

Z δ(gv,Gv)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(gv,Gv)

0

ϕ(t)dt,0

!

0

which from (ψa), gives Rδ(gv,Gv)

0 ϕ(t)dt 0, and hence δ(gv, Gv) = 0, which implies that Gv ={gv} ={t}. Since the pair (g, G) is subcompatible, then, Ggv=gGv; i.e., Gt={gt}.

(5)

We claim thatGt={gt}={t}. If not, then condition (2) implies that ψ

ÃZ δ(F xn,Gt)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z d(f xn,gt)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(f xn,F xn)

At infinity we get ψ

Z d(t,gt)

0

Z d(gt,t)

0

ϕ(t)dt

!

0 which contradicts (ψ2). Thus, Rd(t,gt)

0 ϕ(t)dt = 0, which implies that {gt} = {t}=Gt.

Next, we show thatF u={f u}={t}. Suppose not. Then inequality (2) gives ψ

ÃZ δ(F u,Gt)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z d(f u,gt)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(f u,F u)

ϕ(t)dt , Z δ(gt,Gt)

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(f u,Gt)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(gt,F u)

ϕ(t)dt

0;

that is, ψ

ÃZ δ(F u,t)

0

ϕ(t)dt,0,

Z δ(t,F u)

0

ϕ(t)dt,0,0,

Z δ(t,F u)

0

ϕ(t)dt

!

0 which implies by (ψb) that Rδ(F u,t)

0 ϕ(t)dt 0 and hence F u = {t} = {f u}.

Since f and F are subcompatible, then,F f u=f F u; i.e., F t={f t}.

Then, the use of (2) gives ψ

ÃZ δ(F t,Gt)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z d(f t,gt)

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(f t,F t)

i.e., ψ

Z d(f t,t)

Z d(t,f t)

0

ϕ(t)dt

!

0

(6)

contradicts (ψ2). Hence, {f t} = {t} = F t. Therefore t is a common fixed point of mapsf,g,F and G.

Now, suppose that there exists another common fixed pointt0 such thatt0 6=t.

Then, using inequality (2) we obtain ψ

ÃZ δ(F t,Gt0)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z d(f t,gt0)

0

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(f t,F t)

0

ϕ(t)dt , Z δ(gt0,Gt0)

ϕ(t)dt,

Z δ(f t,Gt0)

Z d(t,t0)

ϕ(t)dt,

Z d(t,t0)

0

ϕ(t)dt

0

which contradicts (ψ2). Thus,t0 =t.

The proof is similar by replacing (3) with (30).

If we let in Theorem 1,f =g andF =G, then, we get the next corollary.

Corollary 1 Let (X, d) be a metric space and letf :X → X; F :X →B(X) be a single and a multivalued map, respectively. If

(1) f is surjective,

(2) ψ

0 for all x, y in X, where ψ∈Ψand ϕ∈Φ,

(3) f andF are subcompatible D-maps.

Then,f andF have a unique common fixed pointt∈ X such thatF t={f t}= {t}.

Now, if we put in Theorem 1,f =g, then, we obtain the following result.

Corollary 2 Let (X, d) be a metric space and let f : X → X; F, G :X → B(X) be maps satisfying the conditions

(1) f is surjective,

Then, f, F and G have a unique common fixed point t ∈ X such that F t= Gt={f t}={t}.

Using recurrence onn, we obtain the following result.

Theorem 2 Let (X, d) be a metric space and let f, g : X → X; Fn :X → B(X), n= 1,2, . . . be maps such that

(1) f and g are surjective,

Then, there exists a unique point t∈ X such that Fnt={f t}={gt}={t}.

Now, we prove our second main theorem.

Theorem 3 Let (X, d) be a metric space and let f, g:X → X; F, G:X → B(X) be single and multivalued maps, respectively. Suppose that

(a) F(X)⊆g(X) and G(X)⊆f(X),

(c) f and F are subcompatible D-maps;g and Gare subcompatible and F(X) is closed, or

(c0)g andG are subcompatibleD-maps; f andF are subcompatible andG(X) is closed.

Then, f, g, F and G have a unique common fixed point t ∈ X such that F t=Gt={f t}={gt}={t}.

Proof. Suppose that g and G areD-maps, then, there is a sequence {yn} in X such that lim

n→∞gyn=t and lim

n→∞Gyn ={t} for some t∈ X. Since G(X) is closed andG(X)⊆f(X), then, there exists a pointu∈ X such that f u=t.

First, we claim that F u={f u}={t}. If not, then, from (b), ψ

Since ψ andz are continuous, at infinity we get ψ

0 which from (ψb) givesRz(δ(F u,f u))

0 ϕ(t)dt 0 and therefore z(δ(F u, f u)) = 0 which implies thatF u={f u}={t}. Sincef andF are subcompatible, then, F f u=f F u; i.e., F t={f t}.

Suppose that f t6=t, then, from inequality (b), ψ

which contradicts (ψ2). Therefore Rz(d(f t,t))

0 ϕ(t)dt = 0 which implies that z(d(f t, t)) = 0; i.e., {f t}={t}=F t.

SinceF(X)⊆g(X), there exists an elementv∈ X such thatgv =t. We claim thatGv={gv}={t}. If not, then, using condition (b) we have

ψ

ÃZ z(δ(F t,Gv)) 0

Suppose that gt6=t. Then, by (b) we have ψ

ÃZ z(δ(F t,Gt)) 0

0 ϕ(t)dt= 0 which implies thatz(d(t, gt)) = 0; i.e.,{gt}={t}=Gt, and t is a common fixed point off,g,F andG.

The uniqueness of the common fixed point follows easily from condition (b).

The proof is thus completed.

The proof is similar by replacing (c0) with (c).

The aim of this paper is to present some common fixed point results for two mappings under generalized contractive condition in b−metric space, where the b−metric function is

The purpose of the present paper is to study the notion of common coupled fixed points for a pair of mappings in b-metric spaces and prove the existence and uniqueness of the

Furthermore, Aamri and El Moutawakil [1] proved some common fixed point theorems for some new con- tractive or expansive maps in uniform spaces by introducing the notions of

Specifically, a theorem by Kirk regarding diminishing orbital diameters is generalized, and a fixed point theorem for maps with no recurrent points is proved.. If M = X, we say g

We obtain several fixed point theorems for hybrid pairs of single-valued and multivalued occasionally weakly compatible maps defined on a symmetric space satisfying a contrac-

In 1970, Takahashi [15] introduced the definition of convexity in metric space and generalized same important fixed point theorems previously proved for Banach spaces... this paper
