In the past few decades, fixed point theory was developed by a large number of authors, especially in metric spaces, which can be observed in [1,2,3,4,5,6]. In 1993, Czerwik [7] initiated the concept of b-metric spaces. Later, many authors proved fixed point theorems in b-metric spaces [8,9,10]. However, the general metric notion was introduced by Branciari [11] in 2000, the so-called Branciari metric. The notion of generalization of Branciari b-metric spaces was introduced by George et al. [12] in 2015. Johnsonbaugh [13] explored certain fundamental mathematical principles, including foundational topics relevant to fixed-point theory and discrete structures, which underpin many concepts in fixed-point applications. Younis et al. [14] introduced graphical rectangular b-metric space and proved fixed point theorem. Younis et al. [15] presented graphical b-metric space and proved fixed point theorem. Younis et al. [16] presented graphical extended b-metric space and proved fixed point theorem. Younis et al. [17] proved fixed points results using graphical B c-Kannan-contractions by numerical iterations within the structure of graphical extended b-metric spaces. Younis et al. [18] presented a fixed point result for Kannan type mappings, in the framework of graphical b-metric spaces. Younis et al. [19] introduced the notion of controlled graphical metric type spaces and proved the fixed point theorem. Haroon Ahmad et al. [20] developed the graphical bipolar b-metric space and proved the fixed point theorem.
The following preliminary is given for better understanding by the readers.
Let (Υ,ϱ) be a metric space. Let Δ denote the diagonal of the Cartesian product Υ×Υ. Consider a directed graph Ω such that the set V(Ω) of its vertices coincides with Υ, and the set E(Ω) of its edges contains all loops, i.e., E(Ω)⊇Δ. We assume Ω has no parallel edges, so we can identify Ω with the pair (V(Ω),E(Ω)). Moreover, we may treat Ω as a weighted graph (see [13], p.309) by assigning to each edge the distance between its vertices. By Ω−1, we denote the conversion of a graph Ω, i.e., the graph obtained from Ω by reversing the direction of edges. Thus, we have
E(Ω−1)={(ϑ,σ)|(σ,ϑ)∈Ω}. |
The letter ˜Ω denotes the undirected graph obtained from Ω by ignoring the direction of edges. Actually, it will be more convenient for us to treat ˜Ω as a directed graph for which the set of its edges is symmetric. Under this convention,
E(˜Ω)=E(Ω)∪E(Ω−1). | (1.1) |
We call (V′,E′) a subgraph of Ω if V′⊆V(Ω),E′⊆E(Ω) and, for any edge (ϑ,σ)∈E′,ϑ,σ∈V′.
If ϑ and σ are vertices in a graph Ω, then a path in Ω from ϑ to σ of length r(r∈N) is a sequence (ϑi)ri=0 of r+1 vertices such that ϑ0=ϑ,ϑr=σ and (ϑζ−1,ϑζ)∈E(Ω) for i=1,.....,r. A graph Ω is connected if there is a path between any two vertices. Ω is weakly connected if, treating all of its edges as being undirected, there is a path from every vertex to every other vertex. More precisely, Ω is weakly connected if ˜Ω is connected.
We define a relation P on Υ by: (ϑPσ)Ω if and only if there is a directed path from ϑ to σ in Ω. We write η,κ∈(ϑPσ)Ω if η,κ is contained in some directed path from ϑ to σ in Ω. For l∈N, we denote
[ϑ]lΩ={σ∈Υ:there is a directed path from ϑtoσof lengthl}. |
A sequence {ϑζ} in Υ is said to be Ω-term wise connected if (ϑζPσζ) for all ζ∈N. Further details one can see [21,22,23,24,25].
Definition 1.1. Let Υ be a nonempty set endowed with a graph Ω, ℵ≥1 and ϱ:Υ×Υ⟶[0,+∞) satisfy the assumptions below for every ϑ,σ∈Υ:
(T1) ϱ(ϑ,σ)=0 if and only if ϑ=σ;
(T2) ϱ(ϑ,σ)=ϱ(σ,ϑ);
(T3) (ϑPσ)Ω, η,φ∈(ϑPσ)Ω implies ϱ(ϑ,σ)≤ℵ[ϱ(ϑ,φ)+ϱ(φ,ω)+ϱ(ω,σ)] for all distinct points φ,ω∈Υ/{ϑ,σ}.
In this case, the pair (Υ,ϱ) is called a graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space with constant ℵ≥1.
Example 1.1. Let Υ=B∪U, where B={0,12,13,14} and U=[1,2]. Define the graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space ϱ:Υ×Υ⟶[0,+∞) as follows:
{ϱ(ϑ,σ)=ϱ(σ,ϑ)for allϑ,σ∈Υ,ϱ(ϑ,σ)=0⟺ϑ=σ. |
and
{ϱ(0,12)=ϱ(12,13)=0.2,ϱ(0,13)=ϱ(13,14)=0.02,ϱ(0,14)=ϱ(12,14)=0.5,ϱ(ϑ,σ)=|ϑ−σ|2,otherwise. |
equipped with the graph Ω=(V(Ω),E(Ω)) so that Υ=V(Ω) with E(Ω)).
It can be seen that the above Figure 1 depicts the graph given by Ω=(V(Ω),E(Ω)).
Definition 1.2. Let {ϑζ} be a sequence in a graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space (Υ,ϱ). Then,
(S1) {ϑζ} converges to ϑ∈Υ if, given ϵ>0, there is ζ0∈N so that ϱ(ϑζ,ϑ)<ϵ for each ζ>ζ0. That is, limζ→∞ϱ(ϑζ,ϑ)=0.
(S2) {ϑζ} is a Cauchy sequence if, for ϵ>0, there is ζ0∈N so that ϱ(ϑζ,ϑm)<ϵ for all ζ,m>ζ0. That is, limζ,m→∞ϱ(ϑζ,ϑm)=0.
(S3) (Υ,ϱ) is complete if every Cauchy sequence in Υ is convergent in Υ.
Definition 1.3. (see [8]) A function Q:(0,+∞)⟶R belongs to F if it satisfies the following condition:
(F1) Q is strictly increasing;
(F2) There exists k∈(0,1) such that limϑ→0+ϑkQ(ϑ)=0.
In [8], the authors omitted Wardowski's (F2) condition from the above definition. Explicitly, (F2) is not required, if {αζ}ζ∈N is a sequence of positive real numbers, then limζ→+∞αζ=0 if and only if limζ→+∞Q(αζ)=−∞. The reason for this is the following lemma.
Lemma 1.1. If Q:(0,+∞)⟶R is an increasing function and {αζ}ζ∈N⊂(0,+∞) is a decreasing sequence such that limζ→+∞Q(αζ)=−∞, then limζ→+∞αζ=0.
We can also see some properties concerning Qℵ,ℓ and Q′ℵ,ℓ.
Definition 1.4. (see [9]) Let ℵ≥1 and ℓ>0. We say that Q∈F belongs to Fℵ,ℓ if it also satisfies (Qℵℓ) if infQ=−∞ and ϑ,σ∈(0,∞) are such that ℓ+Q(ℵϑ)≤Q(σ) and ℓ+Q(ℵσ)≤Q(η), then
ℓ+Q(ℵ2ϑ)≤Q(ℵσ). |
In [10], the authors introduced the following condition (F4).
(Q′ℵℓ) if {αζ}ζ∈N⊂(0,+∞) is a sequence such that ℓ+Q(ℵαζ)≤Q(αn−1), for all ζ∈N and for some ℓ≥0, then ℓ+Q(ℵζαζ)≤Q(ℵn−1αn−1), for all ζ∈N∗.
Proposition 1.1. (see [8]) If Q is increasing, then (Fℵℓ) is equivalent to (F′ℵℓ).
Definition 4.5. Let (Υ,ϱ) be a graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space. We say that a mapping Π:Υ→Υ is a Ω-Q-contraction if
(A1) Π preserves edges of Ω, that is, (ϑ,σ)∈E(Ω) implies (Πϑ,Πσ)∈E(Ω);
(A2) There exists ℓ>0 and Q∈Fℵ,ℓ, such that
∀ϑ,σ∈Υ,(ϑ,σ)∈E(Ω),ϱ(Πϑ,Πσ)>0⇒ℓ+Q(ℵϱ(Πϑ,Πσ))≤Q(ϱ(ϑ,σ)). |
Chen, Huang, Li, and Zhao [24], proved fixed point theorems for Q-contractions in complete Branciari b-metric spaces. The aim of this paper is to study the existence of fixed point theorems for Q-contractions in complete Branciari b-metric spaces endowed with a graph Ω by introducing the concept of Ω-Q-contraction.
Theorem 2.1. Let (Υ,ϱ) be a complete graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space and Q∈Fℵ,ℓ. Let Π:Υ⟶Υ be a self mapping such that
(C1) there exists ϑ0∈Υ such that Πϑ0∈[ϑ0]lΩ, for some l∈N;
(C2) Π is a Ω-Q-contraction.
Then Π has a unique fixed point.
Proof. Let ϑ0∈Υ be such that Πϑ0∈[ϑ0]lΩ, for some l∈N, and {ϑζ} be the Π-Picard sequence with initial value ϑ0. Then, there exists a path {σi}li=0 such that ϑ0=σ0, Πϑ0=σl and (σi−1,σi)∈E(Ω) for i=1,2,3....l. Since Π is a Ω-Q-contraction, by (A1), (Πσi−1,Πσi)∈E(Ω) for i=1,2,3...l. Therefore, {Πσi}li=0 is a path from Πσ0=Πϑ0=ϑ1 to Πσ1=ρ2ϑ0=ϑ2 of length l, and so ϑ2∈[ϑ1]lΩ. Continuing this process, we obtain that Πζσi}li=0, is a path from Πζσ0=Πζϑ0=ϑζ to Πζσl=ΠζΠϑ0=ϑζ+1 of length l, and so, ϑζ+1∈[ϑζ]lΩ, for all ζ∈N. Thus {ϑζ} is a Ω-term wise connected sequence. For any ϑ0∈Υ, set ϑζ=Πϑζ−1,γζ=ϱ(ϑζ+1,ϑζ), and βζ=ϱ(ϑζ+2,ϑζ) with γ0=ϱ(ϑ1,ϑ0) and β0=ϱ(ϑ2,ϑ0). Now, we consider the following two cases:
(E1) If there exists ζ0∈N∪{0} such that ϑζ0=ϑζ0+1, then we have Πϑζ0=ϑζ0. It is clear that ϑζ0 is a fixed point of Π. Therefore, the proof is finished.
(E2) If ϑζ≠ϑζ+1, for any ζ∈N∪{0}, then we have γζ>0, for each ζ∈N.
ℓ+Q(ℵϱ(Πϑζ,Πϑζ+1))≤Q(ϱ(ϑζ,ϑζ+1)),Q(ℵγζ+1)≤Q(γζ)−ℓ, for every ζ∈N. |
By proposition 1.1, we obtain
Q(ℵζ+1γζ+1)≤Q(ℵζγζ)−ℓ, ∀ζ∈N. | (2.1) |
Furthermore, for any ζ∈N, we have
Q(ℵζγζ)≤Q(ℵζ−1γζ−1)−ℓ≤Q(ℵζ−2γζ−2)−2ℓ≤⋯≤Q(γ0)−ζℓ. | (2.2) |
Since limζ→∞(Q(γ0)−ζℓ)=−∞, then
limζ→∞Q(ℵζγζ)=−∞. |
From (2.1) and ((F1)), we derive that the sequence {ℵζγζ}∞ζ=1 is decreasing. By Lemma1.1, we derive that
limζ→∞(ℵζγζ)=0. |
By (F2), there exists k∈(0,1) such that
limζ→∞(ℵζγζ)kQ(ℵζγζ)=0. |
Multiplying (2.2) by (ℵζγζ)k results
0≤ζ(ℵζγζ)kℓ+(ℵζγζ)kQ(ℵζγζ)≤(ℵζγζ)kQ(γ0), ∀ζ∈N, |
which implies limζ→∞ζ(ℵζγζ)k=0. Then, there exists ζ1∈N such that ζ(ℵζγζ)k≤1, ∀ ζ≥ζ1. Thus,
ℵζγζ≤1ζ1k, ∀ζ≥ζ1. | (2.3) |
Therefore, the series ∑∞i=1ℵiγi is convergent. For all ζ,ω∈N, we drive the proof into two cases.
(a) If ω>2 is odd, we obtain
ϱ(ϑζ+3,ϑζ)≤ℵϱ(ϑζ+3,ϑζ+2)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+2,ϑζ+1)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+1,ϑζ), |
ϱ(ϑζ+5,ϑζ)≤ℵϱ(ϑζ+5,ϑζ+2)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+2,ϑζ+1)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+1,ϑζ)≤ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+5,ϑζ+4)+ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+4,ϑζ+3)+ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+3,ϑζ+2)+ℵγζ+1+ℵγζ. |
Consequently,
ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ)≤ℵϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+2)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+2,ϑζ+1)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+1,ϑζ)≤ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+4)+ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+4,ϑζ+3)+ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+3,ϑζ+2)+ℵγζ+1+ℵγζ≤ℵ3ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+6)+ℵ3γζ+5+ℵ3γζ+4+ℵ2γζ+3+ℵ2γζ+2+ℵγζ+1+ℵγζ⋮≤ℵω−12γn+p−1+ℵω−12γζ+ω−2+ℵω−12γζ+ω−3+ℵω−32γζ+ω−4+ℵω−32γζ+ω−5+⋯+ℵ2γζ+2+ℵγζ+1+ℵγζ≤ℵω+12γζ+ω−1+ℵω2γζ+ω−2+ℵω−12γζ+ω−3+ℵω−22γζ+ω−4+ℵω−32γζ+ω−5+⋯+ℵ32γζ+1+ℵ22γζ≤ℵω+1γζ+ω−1+ℵωγζ+ω−2+ℵω−1γζ+ω−3+ℵω−2γζ+ω−4+ℵω−3γζ+ω−5+⋯+ℵ3γζ+1+ℵ2γζ≤1ℵζ−2(ℵζ+ω−1γζ+ω−1+ℵζ+ω−2γζ+ω−2+ℵζ+ω−3γζ+ω−3+⋯+ℵζ+1γζ+1+ℵζγζ)=1ℵζ−2ζ+ω−1∑i=ζℵiγi≤1ℵζ−2∞∑i=ζℵiγi. |
(b) If ω>2 is even, we can obtain
ϱ(ϑζ+4,ϑζ)≤ℵϱ(ϑζ+4,ϑζ+2)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+2,ϑζ+1)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+1,ϑζ). |
Furthermore, we conclude that
ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ)≤ℵϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+2)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+2,ϑζ+1)+ℵϱ(ϑζ+1,ϑζ)≤ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+4)+ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+4,ϑζ+3)+ℵ2ϱ(ϑζ+3,ϑζ+2)≤ℵ3ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+6)+ℵ3γζ+5+ℵ3γζ+4+ℵ2γζ+3+ℵ2γζ+2⋮≤ℵω−22ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+ω−2)+ℵω−22γζ+ω−3+ℵω−22γζ+ω−4+ℵω−42γζ+ω−5+ℵω−42γζ+ω−6+⋯+ℵγζ+1+ℵγζ≤ℵω−22ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+ω−2)+ℵω−12γζ+ω−3+ℵω−22γζ+ω−4+ℵω−32γζ+ω−5+ℵω−42γζ+ω−6+⋯+ℵ32γζ+1+ℵ22γζ≤ℵω−22ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+ω−2)+1ℵζ−2(ℵζ+ω−3γζ+ω−3+ℵζ+ω−4γζ+ω−4+⋯+ℵζ+1γζ+1+ℵζγζ)≤ℵω−22ϱ(ϑζ+ω,ϑζ+ω−2)+1ℵζ−2ζ+ω−1∑i=ζℵiγi≤ℵω−22βζ+ω−2+1ℵζ−2∞∑i=ζℵiγi. |
Since βζ≥0, we can assume that βζ>0, ∀ζ∈N. By a similar method, replacing γζ with βζ in (2.3), there exists ζ2∈N such that
ℵζβζ≤1ζ1k, ∀ζ≥ζ2, |
which implies limζ→∞ℵζβζ=0 and limζ→∞βζ=0. Together (a) with (b), for every ω∈N, letting ζ→∞,
ϱ(ϑn+p,ϑζ)→0. |
Thus, {ϑζ}ζ∈N is a Cauchy sequence. Since (Υ,ϱ) is complete, there exists ϑ∗∈Υ such that limζ→∞ϑζ=ϑ∗. Now
Q(ϱ(Πϑ,Πσ))≤ℓ+Q(ϱ(Πϑ,Πσ))≤ℓ+Q(ℵϱ(Πϑ,Πσ))≤Q(ϱ(ϑ,σ)) |
holds for all ϑ,σ∈Υ with ϱ(Πϑ,Πσ)>0. Since Q is increasing, then
ϱ(Πϑ,Πσ)≤ϱ(ϑ,σ). | (2.4) |
It follows that
0≤ϱ(ϑζ+1,Πϑ∗)≤ϱ(ϑζ,ϑ∗)→0 as ζ→∞. |
Hence, ϑ∗=Πϑ∗. Suppose that ϑ∗ and σ∗ are two different fixed points of Π. Suppose that, Πϑ∗=ϑ∗≠σ∗=Πσ∗ and (ϑ∗,σ∗)∈E(Ω). Then
ℓ+Q(ℵϱ(Πϑ∗,Πσ∗))≤Q(ϱ(ϑ∗,σ∗))≤Q(ℵϱ(ϑ∗,σ∗))=Q(ℵϱ(Πϑ∗,Πσ∗)), |
As ζ→∞, which implies ℓ≤0, a contradiction. Therefore ϑ∗=σ∗. Hence, Π has a unique fixed point in Υ.
Next, we prove common fixed point theorems on complete graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space.
Theorem 2.2. Let (Υ,ϱ) be a complete graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space with constant ℵ>1. If there exist ℓ>0 and Q∈Fℵ,ℓ, such that Λ,Π:Υ⟶Υ are two self mappings on Υ and satisfy
(H1) for every ϑ∈Υ, (ϑ,Λϑ)∈E(G) and (ϑ,Πϑ)∈E(G);
(H2) Π and Λ are generalized G-Q contraction
ℓ+Q(ϱ(Λϑ,Πσ))≤Q(ξ1ϱ(ϑ,σ)+ℵϱ(ϑ,Λϑ)+cϱ(σ,Πσ)), | (2.5) |
for any ξ1,ℵ,c∈[0,1) with ξ1+ℵ+c<1,ℵℵ<1, and min{ϱ(Λϑ,Πσ),ϱ(ϑ,σ),ϱ(ϑ,Λϑ),ϱ(σ,Πσ)}>0 for any (ϑ,σ)∈E(G). Then Λ and Π have a unique common fixed point.
Proof. Let ϑ0∈Υ. Suppose that Λϑ0=ϑ0, then the proof is finished, so we assume that Λϑ0≠ϑ0. As (ϑ0,Λϑ0)∈E(G), so (ϑ0,ϑ1)∈E(G). Also, (ϑ1,Πϑ1)∈E(G) gives (ϑ1,ϑ2)∈E(G). Continuing this way, we define a sequence {ϑj} in Υ such that (ϑj,ϑj+1)∈E(G) with
Λϑ2j=ϑ2j+1,Πϑ2j+1=ϑ2j+2,j=0,1,2,⋯. | (2.6) |
Combining with (2.5) and (2.6), we have
ℓ+Q(ϱ(ϑ2j+1,ϑ2j+2))=ℓ+Q(ϱ(Λϑ2j,Πϑ2j+1))≤Q(ξ1ϱ(ϑ2j,ϑ2j+1)+ℵϱ(ϑ2j,Λϑ2j)+cϱ((ϑ2j+1,Πϑ2j+2))=Q(ξ1ϱ(ϑ2j,ϑ2j+1)+ℵϱ(ϑ2j,ϑ2j+1)+cϱ((ϑ2j+1,ϑ2j+2)). |
Let λ=(ξ1+ℵ)/(1−c), 0<λ<1 since ξ1+ℵ+c<1. Using the strictly monotone increasing property of Q,
ϱ((ϑ2j+1,ϑ2j+2))<ξ1+ℵ1−cϱ(ϑ2j,ϑ2j+1)=λϱ(ϑ2j,ϑ2j+1). |
Similarly,
ϱ((ϑ2j+2,ϑ2j+3))<ξ1+ℵ1−cϱ(ϑ2j+1,ϑ2j+2)=λϱ(ϑ2j+1,ϑ2j+2). |
Hence,
ϱ((ϑζ,ϑζ+1))<λϱ(ϑζ−1,ϑζ),ζ∈N. |
For any ζ∈N, we obtain
ϱ((ϑζ,ϑζ+1))<λϱ(ϑζ−1,ϑζ)<λ2ϱ(ϑζ−2,ϑζ−1)<⋯<λζϱ(ϑ0,ϑ1). |
Notice that
ℓ+Q(ℵϱ(ϑ1,ϑ3))=ℓ+Q(ℵϱ(Λϑ0,Λϑ2))≤Q(ϱ(ϑ0,ϑ2)),ℓ+Q(ℵϱ(ϑ2,ϑ4))=ℓ+Q(ℵϱ(Πϑ1,Πϑ3))≤Q(ϱ(ϑ1,ϑ3)). |
Since Q is strictly monotone increasing, we have
ϱ(ϑ1,ϑ3)≤1ℵϱ(ϑ0,ϑ2),ϱ(ϑ2,ϑ4)≤1ℵϱ(ϑ1,ϑ3)≤1ℵ2ϱ(ϑ0,ϑ2). |
By induction, we obtain
ϱ(ϑζ,ϑζ+2)<1ℵζϱ(ϑ0,ϑ2),ζ∈N. |
We consider the following two cases:
(ⅰ) Let m=ζ+ω, if ω is odd and ω>2, we have

(ⅱ) Let m=ζ+ω, if ω is even and ω>2, we have

As m,ζ⟶∞, ϱ(ϑζ,ϑm)⟶0 for all ω>2. Hence, {ϑζ} is a Cauchy sequence in Υ. Since (Υ,ϱ) is complete, there exists z∗∈Υ such that
limζ→∞ϱ(ϑζ,z∗)=0. |
Suppose that ϱ(Λz∗,z∗)>0, then
ℓ+Q(ϱ(Λz∗,ϑ2j+2))≤Q(ξ1ϱ(z∗,ϑ2j+1)+ℵϱ(z∗,Λz∗)+cϱ(ϑ2j+1,ϑ2j+2)). |
Using the strictly monotone increasing property of Q, we get
ϱ(Λz∗,ϑ2j+2)<ξ1ϱ(z∗,ϑ2j+1)+ℵϱ(z∗,Λz∗)+cϱ(ϑ2j+1,ϑ2j+2)). |
We can also see that
ϱ(Λz∗,z∗)<ℵ[ϱ(Λz∗,ϑ2j+2)+ϱ(ϑ2j+2,ϑ2j+1)+ϱ(ϑ2j+1,z∗)]. |
It follows that
1ℵϱ(Λz∗,z∗)≤limj→∞ infϱ(Λz∗,ϑ2j+2)≤limj→∞ supϱ(Λz∗,ϑ2j+2)≤ℵϱ(z∗,Λz∗). |
Hence, 1ℵ≤ℵ which is an absurdity. Therefore, ϱ(Λz∗,z∗)=0. Similarly, we can obtain Πz∗=z∗. Therefore, we have
Πz∗=Λz∗=z∗. |
Suppose that ϑ∗ and σ∗ are two different common fixed points of Λ and Π. Suppose that, Λϑ∗=ϑ∗≠σ∗=Πσ∗ and (ϑ∗,σ∗)∈E(G). Then,
ℓ+Q(ϱ(ϑ∗,σ∗))=ℓ+Q(ϱ(Λϑ∗,Πσ∗))≤Q(ξ1ϱ(ϑ∗,σ∗)+ℵϱ(ϑ∗,Λϑ∗)+cϱ(σ∗,Πσ∗))=Q(ξ1ϱ(ϑ∗,σ∗)+ℵϱ(ϑ∗,ϑ∗)+cϱ(σ∗,σ∗)). |
Using the strictly monotone increasing property of Q, (1−ξ1)ϱ(ϑ∗,σ∗)<0, which is an absurdity. Hence ϑ∗=σ∗.
Example 2.1. Let Υ=Γ∪Ψ, where Γ={1ζ:ζ∈{2,3,4,5}} and Ψ=[1,2]. For any ϑ,σ∈Υ, we define ϱ:Υ×Υ⟶[0,+∞) by
{ϱ(ϑ,σ)=ϱ(σ,ϑ)for allϑ,σ∈Υ,ϱ(ϑ,σ)=0⟺ϑ=σ. |
and
{ϱ(12,13)=ϱ(13,14)=ϱ(14,15)=16,ϱ(12,14)=ϱ(13,15)=17,ϱ(12,15)=ϱ(12,14)=12,ϱ(ϑ,σ)=|ϑ−σ|2,otherwise. |
Clearly, (Υ,ϱ) is a complete graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space with constant ℵ=3>1. Define the graph Ω by E(Ω)=Δ+{(13,14),(13,15),(12,2),(12,14),(15,12),(15,2),(2,1),(2,13),(1,14),(1,12)}.
Figure 2 represents the directed graph Ω. Let Π:Υ→Υ be a mapping satisfying
Πϑ={12,ϑ∈Γ,13,ϑ∈Ψ. |
Now, we verify that Π is a Ω-Q-contraction. We take ϑ=14∈Γ,σ=2∈Ψ, and ℓ=0.1. Then, ϱ(Πϑ,Πσ)=ϱ(12,13)=16>0 and
0.1+3ϱ(Πϑ,Πσ)=0.6<3.0625=ϱ(ϑ,σ). |
Let Q:(0,+∞)→R be a mapping defined by Q(ϑ)=ϑ, then it is easy to see that Q∈Fℵ,ℓ. Therefore
ℓ+Q(ℵ.ϱ(Πϑ,Πσ))≤Q(ϱ(ϑ,σ)). |
Hence, Π fulfills the conditions of Theorem 2.1 and ϑ=12 is the unique fixed point of Π.
Consider the integral equation:
ϑ(ρ)=μ(ρ)+∫ξ10m(ρ,φ)θ(φ,ϑ(φ))dφ,ρ∈[0,ξ1],ξ1>0. | (3.1) |
Let Υ=C([0,ξ1],R) be the set of real continuous functions defined on [0,ξ1] and the mapping Π:Υ→Υ defined by
Π(ϑ(ρ))=μ(ρ)+∫ξ10m(ρ,φ)θ(φ,ϑ(φ))dφ,ρ∈[0,ξ1]. | (3.2) |
Obviously, ϑ(ρ) is a solution of integral Eq (3.1) iff ϑ(ρ) is a fixed point of Π.
Theorem 3.1. Suppose that
(R1) The mappings m:[0,ξ1]×R→[0,+∞), θ:[0,ξ1]×R→R, and μ:[0,ξ1]→R are continuous functions.
(R2) ∃ ℓ>0 and ℵ>1 such that
|θ(φ,ϑ(φ))−θ(φ,σ(φ))|≤√e−ℓℵ|ϑ(φ)−σ(φ)| | (3.3) |
for each φ∈[0,ξ1] and ϑ≤σ (i.e., ϑ(φ)≤σ(φ))
(R3) ∫ξ10m(ρ,φ)dφ≤1.
(R4) ∃ ϑ0∈C([0,ξ1],R) such that ϑ0(ρ)≤μ(ρ)+∫ξ10m(ρ,φ)θ(φ,ϑ0(φ))dφ for all ρ∈[0,ξ1]
Then, the integral Eq (3.1) has a unique solution in the set {ϑ∈C([0,ξ1],R):ϑ(ρ)≤ϑ0(ρ)orϑ(ρ)≥ϑ0(ρ),for allφ∈[0,ξ1]}.
Proof. Define ϱ:Υ×Υ→[0,+∞) given by
ϱ(ϑ,σ)=supρ∈[0,ξ1]|ϑ(ρ)−σ(ρ)|2 |
for all ϑ,σ∈Υ. It is easy to see that, (Υ,ϱ) is a complete graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space with ℵ≥1. Define Π:Υ→Υ by
Π(ϑ(ρ))=μ(ρ)+∫ξ10m(ρ,φ)θ(φ,ϑ(φ))dφ,ρ∈[0,ξ1]. | (3.4) |
Consider a graph Ω consisting of V(Ω):=Υ and E(Ω)={(ϑ,σ)∈Υ×Υ:ϑ(ρ)≤σ(ρ)}. For each ϑ,σ∈Υ with (ϑ,σ)∈E(Ω), we have
|Πϑ(ρ)−Πσ(ρ)|2=|∫a0m(ρ,φ)[θ(φ,ϑ(φ))−θ(φ,σ(φ))]du|2≤(∫a0m(ρ,φ)√e−ℓℵ|ϑ(φ)−σ(φ)|du)2≤e−ℓℵ(∫a0m(ρ,φ)du)2supφ∈[0,a]|ϑ(φ)−σ(φ)|2≤e−ℓℵϱ(ϑ,σ). |
Thus,
ℵϱ(Πϑ,Πσ)≤e−ℓϱ(ϑ,σ), |
which implies that
ℓ+ln(ℵϱ(Πϑ,Πσ))≤ln(ϱ(ϑ,σ)), |
for each ϑ,σ∈Υ. By (R4), we have (ϑ0,Πϑ0)∈E(Ω), so that [ϑ0]lΩ={ϑ∈C([0,ξ1],R):ϑ(ρ)≤ϑ0(ρ)orϑ(ρ)≥ϑ0(ρ),for allφ∈[0,ξ1]}. Therefore, all the hypotheses of Theorem 2.1 are fulfilled. Hence, the integral equation has a unique solution.
We recall many important definitions from fractional calculus theory. For a function ϑ∈C[0,1], the Reiman-Liouville fractional derivative of order δ>0 is given by
1Γ(ξ−δ)dξdtξ∫t0ϑ(e)de(t−e)δ−ξ+1=Dδϑ(t), |
provided that the right hand side is pointwise defined on [0,1], where [δ] is the integer part of the number δ,Γ is the Euler gamma function. For more details, one can see [26,27,28,29].
Consider the following fractional differential equation
eDηϑ(t)+f(t,ϑ(t))=0,0≤t≤1,1<η≤2;ϑ(0)=ϑ(1)=0, | (4.1) |
where f is a continuous function from [0,1]×R to R and eDη represents the Caputo fractional derivative of order η and it is defined by
eDη=1Γ(ξ−η)∫t0ϑξ(e)de(t−e)η−ξ+1. |
Let Υ=(C[0,1],R) be the set of all continuous functions defined on [0,1]. Consider ϱ:Υ×Υ→R+ to be defined by
ϱ(ϑ,ϑ′)=supt∈[0,1]|ϑ(t)−ϑ′(t)|2 |
for all ϑ,ϑ′∈Υ. Then (Υ,ϱ) is a complete graphical Branciari ℵ-metric space with ℵ≥1. The given fractional differential equation (4.1) is equivalent to the succeeding integral equation
ϑ(t)=∫10G(t,e)f(q,ϑ(e))de, |
where
G(t,e)={[t(1−e)]η−1−(t−e)η−1Γ(η),0≤e≤t≤1,[t(1−e)]η−1Γ(η),0≤t≤e≤1. |
Define Π:Υ→Υ defined by
Πϑ(t)=∫10G(t,e)f(q,ϑ(e))de. |
It is easy to note that if ϑ∗∈Π is a fixed point of Π then ϑ∗ is a solution of the problem (4.1).
Theorem 4.1. Assume the fractional differential Eq (4.1). Suppose that the following conditions are satisfied:
(S1) there exists t∈[0,1], ℵ∈(0,1) and ϑ,ϑ′∈Υ such that
|f(t,ϑ)−f(t,ϑ′)|≤√e−ℓℵ|ϑ(t)−ϑ′(t)| |
for all ϑ≤ϑ′ (i.e., ϑ(t)≤ϑ′(t)).
(S2)
supt∈[0,1]∫10|G(t,e)|de≤1. |
(S3) ∃ ϑ0∈C([0,1],R) such that ϑ0(t)≤∫10G(t,e)f(q,ϑ(e))de for all t∈[0,1].
Then the fractional differential Eq (4.1) has a unique solution in the set {ϑ∈C([0,1],R):ϑ(t)≤ϑ0(t)orϑ(t)≥ϑ0(t),for allt∈[0,1]}.
Proof. Consider a graph Ω consisting of V(Ω):=Υ and E(Ω)={(ϑ,ϑ′)∈Υ×Υ:ϑ(ρ)≤σ(ρ)}. For each ϑ,ϑ′∈Υ with (ϑ,ϑ′)∈E(Ω), we have
|Πϑ(t)−Πϑ′(t)|2=|∫10G(t,e)f(q,ϑ(e))de−∫1oG(t,e)f(q,ϑ′(e))de|2≤(∫10|G(t,e)|de)2(∫10|f(q,ϑ(e))−f(q,ϑ′(e))|de)2≤e−ℓℵ|ϑ(t)−ϑ′(t)|2. |
Taking the supremum on both sides, we get
ℓ+ln(ℵϱ(Πϑ,Πϑ′))≤ln(ϱ(ϑ,ϑ′)), |
for each ϑ,ϑ′∈Υ. By (S3), we have (ϑ0,Πϑ0)∈E(Ω), so that [ϑ0]lΩ={ϑ∈C([0,1],R):ϑ(t)≤ϑ0(t)orϑ(t)≥ϑ0(t),for allt∈[0,1]}. Therefore, all the hypotheses of Theorem 2.1 are fulfilled. Hence, the fractional differential Eq (4.1) has a unique solution.
In this paper, we have established fixed point results for Ω-Q-contraction in the setting of complete graphical Branciari ℵ -metric spaces. The directed graphs have been supported by Figures 1 and 2. The proven results have been supplemented with a non-trivial example and also applications to solve Fredholm integral equation and fractional differential equation have also been provided.
