A new study on the fixed point sets of proinov-type contractions via rational forms

Abstract

In this paper, we presented some new weaker conditions on the Proinov-type contractions which guarantees that a self-mapping T has a unique fixed point in terms of rational forms. Our main results improved the conclusions provided by Andreea Fulga (On (psi,phi)-Rational Contractions) in which the continuity assumption can either be reduced to orbital continuity, k-continuity, continuity of T-k, T-orbital lower semi-continuity or even it can be removed. Meanwhile, the assumption of monotonicity on auxiliary functions is also removed from our main results. Moreover, based on the obtained fixed point results and the property of symmetry, we propose several Proinov-type contractions for a pair of self-mappings (P,Q) which will ensure the existence of the unique common fixed point of a pair of self-mappings (P,Q). Finally, we obtained some results related to fixed figures such as fixed circles or fixed discs which are symmetrical under the effect of self mappings on metric spaces, we proposed some new types of (psi,phi)(c)-rational contractions and obtained the corresponding fixed figure theorems on metric spaces. Several examples are provided to indicate the validity of the results presented.
