1. Introduction
In is well known that one of the most important tool in the theory of metric spaces is the contraction principle known as Banach fixed-point theorem; also known as Banach-Caccioppoli theorem, the contraction principle or contraction mapping theorem. This theorem guarantees the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for self operators in complete metric spaces. Also it provides a constructive method to find the mentioned fixed point (Picard’s method of successive approximations). The theorem, first given in 1922, is named after the great mathematician, Stefan Banach (1892–1945). Initially the theorem was stated in Banach normed spaces. In 1920 Stefan Banach presented his doctoral dissertation. A year later, he published the results of his doctorate in Fundamenta Mathematicae.
In 1930 similar results were obtained independently by Renato Caccioppoli (1904–1959), who rediscovered and generalized Banach’s theorem for complete metric space. Due to this fact, for many mathematicians, the theorem is known under the name Banach-Caccioppoli theorem.
Since then, a lot of papers were dedicated to improve that result. Several extensions of this result tried to relax the metric structure of the space, the completeness or the contraction condition itself. Thus, several variants of contraction principle are known for different types of generalized contractions on metric spaces.
The generalization of the Contraction Principle takes place on two directions: on one hand the contraction condition was generalized and on the other hand the metric space was generalized to uniform spaces.
Around the years 1970-1975, there were great mathematicians that reload the theorem for different type of conditions. Here we can mention some of them: M. Edelstein, R. Kannan, L.B. Ciric, M. A. Krasnoselskii, B.E. Rhoades, F.E. Browder, L.F. Guseman, S. Reich, I.A. Rus, S. Bianchini, and others.
On the other hand, many authors discussed the contraction principle in different generalized metric spaces. For example, Branciari introduced the concept of rectangular metric spaces and proved an analogue of the Banach contraction principle in the setting of such a space. Also, we can mention here the importance of the work of Perov, Schroder and Zabrejko [2], [6], [9], [21], [22], [23].
The first variant of contraction principle with the most generous conclusions, that combines and generalizes all previous is the variant given by I.A. Rus in 2016, see [12].
In this paper, we use the following version for saturated principles of graphic contractions in complete metric spaces, see [17].
Theorem 1.1.
([17])(Saturated principle of graphic contractions) Let be a complete generalized metric space and be an orbitally continuous -graphic contraction. Then we have that:
-
(i)
and i.e. is a WPO.
-
(ii)
for all
-
(iii)
and
-
(iv)
for all i.e., is a -WPO;
In this paper we extend the graphic contraction principle for self operators to non-self operators. Data dependence of fixed points results for non-self operators are also discussed.
The results complement and extend results given in the paper: V. Ilea, A. Novac, D. Otrocol, Fixed point results for non-self operators on -metric spaces, Fixed Point Theory, 26(2025), no. 1, 177-188.
2. Preliminaries
We begin with some standard notations.
Let be a -metric space, a nonempty subset of and an operator. In the sequel we use the following notations:
- the fixed points set of
- the set of invariant subsets of
- the maximal invariant subset of
closed
is defined for all and -the attraction basin of the fixed point with respect to
- the attraction basin of
-the Pompeiu-Hausdorff functional
Throughout this paper we consider that
Following [3] we have:
Definition 2.1.
An operator is said to be a Picard operator (PO) if:
(i)
(ii)
Definition 2.2.
An operator is said to be a weakly Picard operator (WPO) if:
(i)
(ii)
Definition 2.3.
For each WPO we define the operator by
Remark 2.4.
It is clear that so is a set retraction of to
Remark 2.5.
In terms of weakly Picard self operators the above definitions take the following form:
3. Saturated contraction principle for graphic -contraction

4. Data dependence
In this section, we consider non-self operators in the case of an ordered -metric space.
Theorem 4.1.
(Gronwall lemma for graphic -contractions) Let be an ordered complete -metric space, closed, and be an operator. We suppose that:
-
(i)
is a graphic -contraction;
-
(ii)
is orbitally continuous.
-
(iii)
is increasing.
Then:
-
(a)
;
-
(b)
.
Theorem 4.2.
(Comparison Theorem for graphic -contractions) Let be an ordered complete -metric space, closed, and be three operators. We suppose that:
-
(i)
;
-
(ii)
the operators are graphic -contractions;
-
(iii)
are orbitally continuous;
-
(iv)
the operator is increasing with respect to .
Then implies that
An important theorem regarding the good WPO is the following.
Theorem 4.3.

Another result for special WPO is the following.
Theorem 4.4.

If we apply the same idea for , for all we obtain:
where . Follows:
∎
The following result gives conditions for well posed fixed point problem.
Theorem 4.5.

Proof.
Let , we have:
Letting and since , we obtain the conclusion. ∎
Next we have established the conditions for the limit shadowing property.
Theorem 4.6.
Let be a complete -metric space, a nonempty closed subset and be an orbitally continuous -graphic contraction, where . Then, the operator has the limit shadowing property.
In what follow, we give two results for Pompeiu-Hausdorff functional.
Theorem 4.7.
Let be a complete -metric space, a nonempty closed subset and be an orbitally continuous -graphic contraction, where . Let be such that:
-
(1)

Proof.
Now the conclusion follows from [9]. ∎

-
(2)
, as
Then , as
Proof.
Now the conclusion follows from the condition (2). ∎
