“…However, there are still two problems in some practical cases: (1) the condition d(T x, x) ≤ · · · is too strong to be verified; (2) the backgrounds of some questions are only involving a part of points in metric spaces, that is, d(T x, x) ≤ · · · not hold for all points. To overcome the problems (1) and (2), we introduce a new Caristi-type fixed point theorems in the forms min {d(T x, T y), d(T x, x)} ≤ Dominated Function, (1.1) where the "Dominated Function" can be chosen as kd(x, y) + φ(x) − φ(T x), (1.2) or Φ(x)(f (x) − f (T x)), (1.3) or other corresponding forms under some advanced settings such as 'partial order', 'graph' and 'cyclic map', etc. To our knowledge, we provide all the possible conditions to make the Caristi-type fixed point theorem appropriately and applicably in most situations.…”
