“…where σ is a nondecreasing continuous function σ:[a, b]→(0,∞). We recall that C p ð½a; bÞ; d p À Á and Cð½a; bÞ; d ð Þare complete metric spaces (cf previous studies 39,40 Under the present conditions, we will deduce that the operator T is strictly contractive with respect to the metric (7). Indeed, for all u, v ∈ C([a, b]), we have Due to the fact that M 2 þ Lη ð Þ<1, it follows that T is strictly contractive.…”
