The aim of this paper is to present a study on Ćirić type multi-valued operators. Following the approach given in [16], where the author considered some variants of the multivalued contraction principle given by Nadler [14], respectively a so-called strict multi-valued contraction principle, we will consider here the case of Ćirić type multi-valued operators, see [3].
We also notice that in [24] Reich developed some fixed point theorems for multi-valued generalized contractions. A fully comprehensive study on Reich operators was made in [12] by T. Lazăr et al. Also, qualitative properties, namely data dependence, Ulam-Hyers stability and so on, were studied
for the case of multi-valued -contractions by V.L. Lazăr in [13]. Moreover, C. Chifu and G. Petruşel in [5] studied qualitative properties concerning Hardy-Rogers multi-valued operators (see [7] for the single-valued case) in the framework of b-metric spaces, while T. Lazăr, D. O’Regan et al. [11] studied the case of multi-valued operators of Ćirić type defined on a set endowed with two metrics. Finally, we point out that in [2], M. Boriceanu studied existence and uniqueness of the fixed point and data dependence for multi-valued Ćirić type operators in the context of b-metric spaces. At the same time, Ćirić type multi-valued operators were are studied in [17] and [19].
Regarding terminology and basic concepts for fixed point problems related to multi-valued operators, we will follow the works [1],[9], [18] and [23]. Furthermore, for the approximation of strict fixed points (also called end-points) of multi-valued mappings, we refer to [6], [8] and [22]. Finally, regarding data dependence, multi-valued fractal operators, selections and qualitative properties for the fixed point inclusion and for multi-valued fractals, we will refer to [4], [10] and [20].
Led ( ) be a metric space. Denote by the family of all nonempty subsets of . Also, stands for the family of nonempty, bounded subsets of and the family of nonempty, closed subsets of . In a similar manner, by we refer to the family of nonempty, compact subsets of . From now on, means the closure in of the ball , where is the open ball with radius and the center . By we denote the closed ball centered in with radius . We recall now some important functionals which will be used through the paper:
•
the gap functional .
•
the generalized Pompeiu-Haussdorf functional , where .
Furthermore, if is a multi-valued operator, then an element is a fixed point for if and only if . We denote by the set of all fixed points of the operator and by the set of all strict fixed points of , where is a strict fixed point of (or an endpoint, or a stationary point) if and only if .
For a multi-valued operator we can also define the following useful notions. The graph of the operator , defined by , and the image of the set will be denoted by . A single-valued mapping is called a selection of if for each , we have that .
We present now an important concept, which appears naturally by Nadler’s contraction principle. By [21], we recall here the notion of multi-valued weakly Picard operator.
Definition 1.1. Let ( ) be a metric space.
Consider be a multi-valued operator. By definition, is a multi-valued weakly Picard operator (briefly MWP operator) if for each and for each , there exists a sequence , satisfying the following
(i) and ,
(ii) , for each ,
(iii) the sequence is convergent to a fixed point of .
Remark 1.1. A sequence satisfying conditions and is called a sequence of successive approximations of starting from . If is a MWP operator, then we define the operator , by there exists a sequence of successive approximations of T starting from ( ) that converges to z.
Furthermore, if ( ) is a metric space and a multi-valued operator, then is said to be closed if is a closed set in . By we denote the iterates of the multi-valued mapping , while the set is called the (open) -neighborhood of .
From [14], we shall recall some important lemmas that are used throughout the article.
Lemma 1.1. Let and from and . Then, for each , there exists , such that .
Lemma 1.2. Let and from . Also, consider , such that
(i) for each , there exists , with ,
(ii) for each , there exists , with .
Then .
Now, we recall the basic concepts for the qualitative properties of the fixed point inclusion and of the fixed point iteration. The first two definitions are related to well-posedness of the fixed point problem. For the concept of well-posedness, we let the reader follow [12] and [19].
Definition 1.2. Let ( ) be a metric space and be a multi-valued operator. Then the fixed point problem is well-posed for with
respect to the gap functional if and only if:
(i) ;
(ii) if has the property that , then .
Definition 1.3. Let be a metric space, and be a multi-valued operator. Then the fixed point problem is well-posed for with respect to the Pompeiu-Haussdorf functional if and only if:
(i) ;
(ii) if is a sequence such that , then .
Now, the second important concept related to the fixed point problem is limit shadowing or Ostrowski property, which can be found in [12] and [13].
Definition 1.4. Let ( ) be a metric space and be a multi-valued operator. By definition, the multi-valued operator has the Ostrowski property, if and for any sequence , such that , we have , as .
We introduce now the notions of -MWP operator and of generalized Ulam-Hyers stabilites. For the study of generalized Ulam-Hyers stability we refer to [15].
Definition 1.5. Let ( ) be a metric space and be a MWP operator. Let be continuous in 0 , increasing, such that . By definition, is -MWP operator, if there exists a selection of , such that , for each .
Definition 1.6. Let ( ) be a metric space and . By definition, the fixed point inclusion
(1.1)
is called generalized Ulam-Hyers stable if and only if there exists an increasing, continuous in 0 function , with , such that for every and for each for which , there exists a solution a solution of the fixed point inclusion (1.1), such that .
Definition 1.7. Let ( ) be a metric space and . By definition, the strict fixed point inclusion
(1.2)
is called generalized Ulam-Hyers stable if and only if there exists an increasing, continuous in 0 function , with , such that for
every and for each for which , there exists a solution a solution of the strict fixed point inclusion (1.2), such that .
Finally, following [6], [8] and [22], we recall the last important concepts.
Definition 1.8. Let and be a multi-valued operator. Then, has the approximate endpoint property if .
2 Main results
The aim of this paper is to extend to the case of Ćirić type multi-valued generalized contractions, the results given in [16], where the author studied extended properties for the fixed point problem related to Nadler’s multivalued contractions through relevant metrical and topological properties. In the present section some variants of the multi-valued Ćirić principle are given. We shall enhance the classical result of Ćirić [3] with additional metrical and topological conclusions with respect to the fixed point problem.
Theorem 2.1 (An extended version of the Ćirić’s multi-valued contraction principle). Let ( ) be a complete metric space and be a multi-valued -Ćirić type operator, i.e., there exists , such that
where
Then, the following conclusions hold:
(a) there exists ;
(b) for each , there exists a sequence of successive approximations for starting from , convergent to a fixed point of ;
(c) there exists a selection of , such that
(d) is closed in ( );
(e) if is a sequence of successive approximations for , starting from a pair raph , which converges to a fixed point of , then
(f) if is a Ćirić-type multi-valued operator with coefficient , and there exists , such that , for all , then
(g) if is a sequence of multi-valued -Ćirić-type operators, with as , uniformly with respect to , then
(h) if there exists and , such that , then there exists ;
(i) if there exists and such that , then and there exists ;
(j) if is a Banach space, an open subset of and is a Ćirić multi-valued operator, then the associated multi-valued field is open;
(k) there exists a Caristi selection of ;
(m) if, additionally, , then the fixed point inclusion is generalized Ulam-Hyers stable;
(n) the multi-valued operator has the approximate fixed point property;
(o) if the multi-valued operator is lower semicontinuous, then it has the approximate endpoint property if and only if it has a unique strict fixed point;
(p) if , then the fixed point set is compact.
(q) if , then for each , one has , where .
Proof. (a), (b), (c) and (e) (In fact (a) and (b) means that is a MWP operator, while (a), (b) and (c) can be concise represented by saying that is a -MWP operator, with ).
Let and be arbitrary elements. Then . Furthermore, consider .
Now, for , there exists , such that , so . We consider the following cases:
If , then .
If , then .
If , then , which is a contradiction, So can not be .
Finally, if , then by using the fact that and the fact that , it follows that . So . Then .
Since , we get that .
Let us denote by . Then, by all the cases .
Also, denote by , for each . By induction, we can construct a sequence , such that for , there exists , for which , for each . Then , so by triangle inequality . Taking , it follows up that the sequence is Cauchy, so there exists , such that . Furthermore, in the estimate . taking , it follows that . Taking and making , it follows the estimate , with . Here, we denoted by and .
The final step is to show that , i.e., to prove that . We have the following estimation:
Moreover, since
by letting , we obtain that . This means that
and the conclusion follows.
(d) We know that . We shall show that is closed in . For this, let , such that . So, for each .
We shall show that , i.e. . Also, since the operator has closed values, then it is enough to show that . We have the following inequalities :
We have the following cases:
If , then .
Furthermore, if , then . Moreover, if , then we obtain that
Finally, if .
Also, , so . This implies that
Thus, by all cases , so is closed.
(f) By (a),(b),(c) and (e), we have that , where is an arbitrary element of and , where . Taking , then we obtain that , where . Furthermore, since is arbitrary, we can make the following assertion: for , there exists , such that , so .
Now, also from the global principle of the existence of the fixed point of , we get that , with is an arbitrary element of and .
Taking , then we obtain that , where .
As in the first case, since is arbitrary, then for , there exists
Vol. LVII (2019) Some variants of Ćirić’s multi-valued contraction principle 31
, such that . So . From the first case we get that for , there exists , such that
while from the second case we infer that for , there exists , such that
By Lemma 1.2, we get the conclusion .
Let be an arbitrary fixed element. Since as , uniformly for each , then for all , we have that .
This means that for , there exists , such that for each , we have that . From the conclusion (f) of data dependence, we have that for , there exists , such that for all , one has . So, the conclusion is valid.
(h) Let , such that , with . Since , then there exists , such that , so . From the hypothesis, we have that , where:
We consider the following cases:
If the maximum is , then .
If the maximum is , then, since , we obtain a contradiction.
From the above cases, it follows that . Since , then there exists for which .
Furthermore, by triangle inequality one can obtain , so .
By induction, we can construct a sequence , with from , such that :
It follows that the sequence is Cauchy, so there exists , such that .
As in the proof of (a),(b),(c) and (e), one can show that . Moreover, since and is closed in , then .
(i) Let . Then, by applying the triangle inequality, we get that , so . Now, taking , it follows that .
We first show that .
Let . We will show that .
So, take . The aim is to show that , i.e., .
Then . So .
We know that:
We also have and . So, we obtain:
We employ an analysis on the following cases :
If the maximum from the right hand side is , then .
If the maximum is , then . So
. This means that .
Finally, if the maximum is , then . This implies that and thus .
From all the cases, it follows that . This means that . We have that
Taking and , we apply the conclusion (i) for local version of the fixed point problem for the Ćirić operator on the closed ball. We mention that we have used the fact that is closed in the complete metric space . Then, there exists . Using the fact that , we can show that .
Suppose to the contrary that . Then, we have the following inequalities: , where
Notice that , and .
Then, we get the following cases :
If the maximum from the right hand side is , then , which is false.
If the maximum is , then , which is also false.
If the maximum is , then we get , also false.
For the last case, if the maximum from the right hand side is
, then . Furthermore, by the condition that the operator is of Ćirić-type, we have that . So .
It follows that , so , which is false.
From all the cases from above, it follows that .
(j) We prove that, if is an open subset of , then is open in . This means that for and , with , then .
So, let , i.e. . We shall show that . In other words, we shall show that there exists , such that , i.e., .
Let us consider the multi-valued operator , defined by .
If has a fixed point , then or . Now, for each , we have that :
. Moreover, . Then is a Cirić operator defined on the open ball , where . Applying the conclusion (h), i.e. the local version involving an open ball, it follows easily that is open.
(k) For the proof of the Caristi selection of the multi-valued Ćirić operator , we refer to the work of A. Petruşel and G. Petruşel [20].
(m) Let and consider that satisfies . Then, for each , we have that .
Now, since there exists , we take .
This implies that , where .
(n) For the proof of this, we refer to [2].
(o) Let . Let’s denote . Since is lower semicontinuous, by Lemma 3.3 from [8], we get that for each , the set is nonempty. Now, let . It follows that:
Now, since , then and . So,
we get that
Then, we have the following cases:
If , then , so .
If , then .
Similarly, if , then .
Finally, if , then we infer that:
since .
Furthermore,
since . Thus, .
From all the cases, it follows that
Now, if the multi-valued Ćirić-type operator has a strict fixed point, then has the approximate endpoint property. Let us suppose now that the multi-valued operator has the approximate endpoint property. We define . Then, by our hypothesis, for each is nonempty. Furthermore, for all .
Also, since is lower semicontinuous, then are closed, for each . Also, we observe that :
, so .
Then, by Cantor’s intersection theorem, it follows that , so the conclusion follows easily.
(p) By (d), we have that is closed in ( ). Since ( ) is complete, then is complete with respect to . Furthermore, let’s suppose that is not compact. Then is not precompact. This means that there exist and , such that , for all .
Denote , such that contains an infinity of . It is obvious that , because for each contains at most one .
Furthermore, consider and take , such that the set is infinite. Then, for each , we have
Now, we have the following cases:
If , then .
Also, if , then , for .
Now, if , then
so . It implies that .
So, all the cases from above imply that , where . From all of this, we have two cases to consider :
In the first case, by , with , we obtain that . Taking , we get, for each , that .
Now, the second case is for . From these two cases, one can get . Then , so since is compact, there exists , such that , for each .
Moreover, since is compact, then there exists , for which the set is infinite. This means that for each (since and was chosen such that ), we have that
Vol. LVII (2019) Some variants of Ćirić’s multi-valued contraction principle 37
This contradicts the fact that the ball contains an infinite number of elements , where .
(q) Let , for each . Notice that if , then , for each . So . This implies that , for all , where denotes the excess functional.
Moreover, let and . Because , then . So, for there exists , for which .
For and , following (b) there exists a sequence of successive approximations , starting from , such that , for each , where , with and with the property that as .
Taking , we obtain . So . Taking , respectively , it follows that . So, the conclusion follows easily from this inequality.
We will present now the second result of this article, which is an extended version of strict fixed point principle for multi-valued Ćirić operators. Since all the conclusion from Theorem 2.1 are valid even in the particular case when , for this case we shall present only the metrical conclusions that are new.
Theorem 2.2 (An extended strict fixed point principle for multi-valued Ćirić operators). Let ( ) be a complete metric space and be a multi-valued -Cirić type operator. Suppose that . Then, the following conclusions hold:
(a) ;
(b) if , then has the Ostrowski property;
(c) the fixed point inclusion is generalized Ulam-Hyers stable;
(d) the strict fixed point inclusion is generalized Ulam-Hyers stable;
(e) the fixed point problem is well-posed for , with respect to and, respectively, with respect to ;
(f) if , then , for each ;
(g) , for each ;
(h) if is a multi-valued operator with , and there exists , such that , for all , then .
Proof. (a) Since , then there exists . Suppose there exists . We show that . For this, suppose the contrary that . Then:
Since and , , it follows that .
So . This implies that , so we obtain a contradiction.
Finally, , so .
(b) Let be a sequence, such that . We shall show that . Then, we have , where
Now, we have the following cases :
If the maximum from the right hand side is , then .
If the maximum is , then we have . So, we get that .
It implies that .
Consider now the case when the maximum is . Then, we obtain . Thus . This means that
Hence .
Now, since , then from all the cases from above, it follows that . Now, since , using Cauchy’s lemma, we get that .
(c) By (a) we know that .
Now, let us consider and . Then, we have the following:
. Moreover, we consider the following cases:
If , then .
If , then
Finally, if , then we have . So, we get . From all the cases we obtain that
Now, let us define , so . We notice that is continuous in 0 , increasing and with .
Then, as in (m) of Theorem 2.1, we have the following:
Let and consider that satisfies . Then, for each , we have .
Now, since there exists , we take . This implies that and the conclusion follows.
(d) Let and , such that . Since is a Ćirić multi-valued operator, from (h) we have that , for each . This implies that , where satisfies and it is an increasing and continuous
mapping in 0 .
(e) The proof of this conclusion is given in [19].
(f) We know that
.
We have the following cases:
If the maximum is , then .
If the maximum is , then and so .
If the maximum is , then we obtain .
Since .
(g) We have the following chain of inequalities . Thus .
(h) Let and . Then, we have
.
Now, we have the following cases for :
1.
if , then .
if , then .
2.
if , then .
3.
finally, if , then . Hence, we get that . Then , which implies that . It follows that . . Using Lemma 1.2 the conclusion follows.
