Nonlinear contractions involving simulation functions in a metric space with a partial order

Abstract

Very recently, Khojasteh, Shukla and Radenović [F. Khojasteh, S. Shukla, S. Radenović, Filomat, 29 (2015), [1189][1190][1191][1192][1193][1194] introduced the notion of Z-contraction, that is, a nonlinear contraction involving a new class of mappings namely simulation functions. This kind of contractions generalizes the Banach contraction and unifies several known types of nonlinear contractions. In this paper, we consider a pair of nonlinear operators satisfying a nonlinear contraction involving a simulation function in a metric space endowed with a partial order. For this pair of operators, we establish coincidence and common fixed point results. As applications, several related results in fixed point theory in a metric space with a partial order are deduced. c 2015 All rights reserved.

On the Power of Simulation and Admissible Functions in Metric Fixed Point Theory

“…After that, Argoubi et al [2] relaxed the conditions of the notion of simulation function a little bit to guarantee that the considered set is nonempty.…”

“…Indeed, this condition gives a contradiction when one takes = in the first condition (S 1 ). For further detail on the discussion, see, for example, [2].…”

An alternative and easy approach to fixed point results via simulation functions

“…We stress that by using Lemma 5 we can improve and generalize Theorem 2.8 of [1] and, further, we can give for it a shorter proof. We also underline that our method together with Lemma 4 greatly improves Lemmas 3.5 and 3.6 of [10] and Lemma 3.1 of [2]. As a consequence, the condition that the Picard sequence is bounded is now super uous.…”

From fuzzy metric spaces to modular metric spaces: a fixed point approach

“…Indeed, let us take: ζ(0, 0) = 1 and ζ(u, v) = 0.5v − u for all u, v > 0, see also Example 2.4 of [3]. Otherwise, take…”
