1. Introduction

Banach fixed point principle [1] is simple but forceful, which is a classical tool for many aspects. There are many generalizations of this principle, see [2] [3] [4] [5] , from which, an interesting generalization is introduced by Suzuki [6] in 2008.

Many generalized spaces of Metric space have been established. Among them, b-metric [7] and 2-metric [8] have been extensively researched. Both of these metrics of those spaces are not continuous functions of its variables. In order to solve this problem, the author of [9] established the notion of b2-metric space generalizing from both spaces above. And in this paper, we proved a common fixed point result for two maps in b2-metric space [9] . Our purpose is to present a fixed point result of two maps under a newly Suzuki-type contractive condition in this space, and the fixed point theory in b2-metric space is perfected.

2. Preliminaries

The following definitions will be presented before giving our results.

Definition 2.1. [9] Let X be a nonempty set, s 1 be a real number and let d : X × X × X R be a map satisfying the following conditions:

1) For every pair of distinct points x , y X , there exists a point z X such that d ( x , y , z ) 0 .

2) If at least two of three points x , y , z are the same, then d ( x , y , z ) = 0 .

3) The symmetry:

d ( x , y , z ) = d ( x , z , y ) = d ( y , x , z ) = d ( y , z , x ) = d ( z , x , y ) = d ( z , x , y )

for all x , y , z X .

4) The rectangle inequality:

d ( x , y , z ) s [ d ( x , y , a ) + d ( y , z , a ) + d ( z , x , a ) ]

for all x , y , z , a X .

Then d is called a b2 metric on X and ( X , d ) is called a b2 metric space with parameter s. Obviously, for s = 1, b2 metric reduces to 2-metric.

Definition 2.2. [9] Let { x n } be a sequence in a b2 metric space ( X , d ) .

1) A sequence { x n } is said to be b2-convergent to x X , written as lim n x n = x , if all a X lim n d ( x n , x , a ) = 0 .

2) { x n } is Cauchy sequence if and only if d ( x n , x m , a ) 0 , when n , m . for all a X .

3) ( X , d ) is said to be complete if every b2-Cauchy sequence is a b2-convergent sequence.

Definition 2.3. [9] Let ( X , d ) and ( X , d ) be two b2-metric spaces and let f : X X be a mapping. Then f is said to be b2-continuous, at a point z X if for a given ε > 0 , there exists δ > 0 such that x X and d ( z , x , a ) < δ for all a X imply that d ( f z , f x , a ) < ε . The mapping f is b2-continuous on X if it is b2-continuous at all z X .

Definition 2.4. [9] Let ( X , d ) and ( X , d ) be two b2-metric spaces. Then a mapping f : X X is b2-continuous at a point x X if and only if it is b2-sequentially continuous at x; that is, whenever { x n } is b2-convergent to x, { f x n } is b2-convergent to f ( x ) .

Lemma 2.5. [10] Let ( X , d ) be a b2 metric space with s 1 and let { x n } n = 0 be a sequence in X such that

d ( x n , x n + 1 , a ) λ d ( x n 1 , x n , a ) (2.1)

for all n N and all a X , where λ [ 0 , 1 / s ) . Then { x n } is a b2-Cauchy sequence in ( X , d ) .

3. Main Results

Theorem 3.1. Let ( X , d ) be a complete b2 metric space and in each variable d is continuous. Let f : X X be a selfmap and ϕ = ϕ s : [ 0 , 1 ) ( 1 / ( s + 1 ) , 1 ] be defined by:

ϕ ( ρ ) = { 1 , 0 ρ 5 1 2 , 1 ρ ρ 2 , 5 1 2 ρ b s , 1 s + ρ , b s ρ < 1 , (3.1)

where b s = 1 s + 1 + 6 s + s 2 4 is the positive solution of 1 ρ ρ 2 = 1 s + ρ . If there exists ρ [ 0 , 1 ) such that for each x , y X ,

ϕ ( ρ ) d ( x , f x , a ) d ( x , y , a ) d ( f x , f y , a ) ρ s N ( x , y , a ) , (3.2)

where

N ( x , y , a ) = max { d ( x , y , a ) , d ( x , f x , a ) , d ( y , f y , a ) }

then f has a unique fixed point z in X and the sequence { T n x } converges to z.

Proof From (3.1) and take y = f x , we get the inequality as follows:

d ( f x , f 2 x , a ) ρ s max { d ( x , f x , a ) , d ( x , f x , a ) , d ( f x , f 2 x , a ) } = ρ s max { d ( x , f x , a ) , d ( f x , f 2 x , a ) } (3.2.1)

from the above relation, we get

d ( f x , f 2 x , a ) ρ s d ( x , f x , a ) , for each x X (3.3)

Given v 0 X and construct a sequence { v n } letting v n + 1 = f v n = f n + 1 v 0 , for all n N . Then by taking x = v n 1 in (3.3) we get

d ( v n , v n + 1 , a ) ρ s d ( v n 1 , v n , a ) (3.4)

since ρ [ 0 , 1 ) , we have ρ s < 1 s , by Lemma 2.6, we get the conclusion that { v n } is a Cauchy sequence, so there exists z in X, such that f v n = v n + 1 z , n .

Since v n z and f v n z , that is d ( v n , f v n , a ) 0 and by the continuity of d, we have d ( v n , x , a ) d ( x , z , a ) 0 , n , for every x z , so there exists n 0 N such that ϕ ( ρ ) d ( v n , f v n , a ) < d ( v n , x , a ) , for each n n 0 , now for such above n and from the assumption (3.2) we get

d ( f v n , f x , a ) ρ s max { d ( v n , x , a ) , d ( v n , v n + 1 , a ) , d ( x , f x , a ) } , for x z (3.5)

taking n we have

d ( f x , z , a ) ρ s max { d ( x , z , a ) , d ( x , f x , a ) } (3.6)

In (3.3), take x = f n 1 z , we have

d ( f n z , f n + 1 z , a ) ρ s d ( f n 1 z , f n z , a ) , for n N (3.7)

by induction, we have

d ( f n z , f n + 1 z , a ) ρ n s n d ( z , f z , a ) (3.8)

Now we claim that

d ( f n z , z , a ) d ( f z , z , a ) , for every n N (3.9)

this inequality is true for n = 1 , assume (3.9) holds for some n N , if f n z = z , then we have f n + 1 z = f z and

d ( f n + 1 z , z , a ) = d ( f z , z , a ) d ( f z , z , a ) (3.9.1)

if f n z z , then we can obtain the following inequality from (3.6), and that is:

d ( f n + 1 z , z , a ) ρ s max { d ( f n x , z , a ) , d ( f n x , f n + 1 x , a ) } (3.9.2)

By the induction hypothesis (3.9) for some n N and (3.8), we have

d ( f n + 1 z , z , a ) ρ s max { d ( f x , z , a ) , ρ s d ( f x , z , a ) } = ρ s d ( f z , z , a ) d ( f z , z , a ) (3.9.3)

Therefore, (3.9) is true for every n N .

Now we assume that f z z and consider the two following possible cases to prove that f z = z .

Case 1. Take 0 ρ < b s ,therefore ϕ ( ρ ) 1 ρ ρ 2 . Firstly we claim that

d ( f n z , f z , a ) ρ s d ( f z , z , a ) , for all n N (3.10)

It is obvious for n = 1 and this follows from (3.8) for n = 2 .

From (3.9) we have d ( z , f n z , f z ) d ( f z , z , f z ) = 0 , that is,

d ( z , f n z , f z ) = 0 (3.11)

Now assume that (3.10) holds for some n 2 , then from part 4 of Definition 2.1 and (3.11) we have

d ( z , f z , a ) s ( d ( z , f n z , a ) + d ( f n z , f z , a ) + d ( z , f n z , f z ) ) s ( d ( z , f n z , a ) + d ( f n z , f z , a ) ) s ( d ( z , f n z , a ) + ρ s d ( f z , z , a ) ) (3.10.1)

and that is d ( z , f z , a ) s 1 ρ d ( z , f n z , a ) , using (3.8), it follows that

ϕ ( ρ ) d ( f n z , f n + 1 z , a ) 1 ρ ρ 2 d ( f n z , f n + 1 z , a ) 1 ρ ρ 2 d ( f n z , f n + 1 z , a ) 1 ρ ρ n ρ n s n d ( z , f z , a ) 1 ρ s n d ( z , f z , a ) 1 s n 1 d ( z , f n z , a ) d ( f n z , z , a ) (3.10.2)

from (3.2)

d ( f n + 1 z , f z , a ) ρ s max { d ( f n z , z , a ) , d ( f n z , f n + 1 z , a ) , d ( z , f z , a ) } ρ s d ( z , f z , a ) (3.10.3)

By induction with using (3.8) and (3.9), it is easy for us to get the relation (3.10).

Now from f z z and (3.10), we get for each n N f n z z , therefore, (3.6) and (3.8) show that

d ( f n + 1 z , f z , a ) ρ s max { d ( f n z , z , a ) , d ( f n z , f n + 1 z , a ) } ρ s max { d ( f n z , z , a ) , ρ n s n d ( z , f z , a ) } (3.12)

From part 4 of Definition 2.1 and (3.11), we get

d ( f n x , z , a ) s ( d ( f z , f n z , a ) + d ( f n z , z , a ) + d ( f z , z , f n z ) ) s ( d ( f z , f n z , a ) + d ( f n z , z , a ) ) (3.12.1)

It follows from (3.10) that

d ( f n z , z , a ) 1 s d ( f z , z , a ) d ( f z , f n z , a ) 1 s d ( f z , z , a ) ρ s d ( f z , z , a ) 1 ρ s d ( f z , z , a ) (3.12.2)

There exists n 1 N , for n n 1 and 0 ρ < b s such that 1 ρ ρ n , for such n, we get

d ( f n z , z , a ) ρ n s d ( f z , z , a ) ρ n s n d ( f z , z , a ) (3.12.3)

Then taking n from (3.12) we have

d ( f n + 1 z , z , a ) ρ s d ( f n z , z , a ) ( ρ s ) n n 1 + 1 d ( f n 1 z , z , a ) 0 (3.12.4)

That is, f n z z , and from (3.10), we get

lim n d ( f z , z , a ) ρ s lim n d ( f z , z , a ) (3.12.5)

which is impossible except f z = z .

Case 2. Take b s ρ < 1 and that is when ϕ ( ρ ) = 1 s + ρ , we will prove that we can find a subsequence { v n i } of { v n } such that for each i N ,

ϕ ( ρ ) d ( v n i , f v n i , a ) = ϕ ( ρ ) d ( v n i , v n i + 1 , a ) d ( v n i , z , a ) , (3.13)

we know for each n N d ( v n , v n + 1 , a ) ρ s d ( v n 1 , v n , a ) from (3.4), assume that for some n N

1 s + ρ d ( v n , v n 1 , a ) > d ( v n 1 , z , a ) , (3.13.1)

and

1 s + ρ d ( v n , v n + 1 , a ) > d ( v n , z , a ) (3.13.2)

then

d ( v n 1 , v n , a ) s ( d ( v n 1 , z , a ) + d ( v n , z , a ) + d ( v n 1 , v n , z ) ) < s s + ρ ( d ( v n 1 , v n , a ) + d ( v n , v n + 1 , a ) ) + s d ( v n , v n 1 , z ) (3.13.3)

taking n , we get a relation which is impossible. Therefore we have

ϕ ( ρ ) d ( v n , v n 1 , a ) d ( v n 1 , z , a ) or ϕ ( ρ ) d ( v n , v n 1 , a ) d ( v n 1 , z , a )

for each n N . (3.13.4)

In other words, there is a subsequence { v n i } for { v n } such that (3.13) is true for every i N , but from (3.2) we have

d ( f v n i , f z , a ) ρ s max { d ( v n i , z , a ) , d ( v n i , f v n i , a ) , d ( z , f z , a ) } (3.13.5)

Taking i , we have

d ( z , f z , a ) ρ s d ( z , f z , a ) (3.13.6)

which is possible only if f z = z .

Therefore, z is a fixed point of f. Let w be another fixed point of f, from (3.6), we have

d ( w , z , a ) = d ( f w , z , a ) ρ s max { d ( w , z , a ) , d ( w , f w , z ) } = ρ s d ( w , z , a ) (3.14)

which is a contraction unless d ( w , z , a ) = 0 , and that is w = z , f has a unique common fixed point z X .

Corollary Let ( X , d ) be a complete b2-metric space and d is continuous in every variable. Let f : X X be a selfmap and ϕ : [ 0 , 1 ) ( 1 / ( s + 1 ) , 1 ] be defined by (3.1). If there exists ρ [ 0 , 1 ) such that for each x, y of X,

ϕ ( ρ ) d ( x , f x , a ) d ( x , y , a ) d ( f x , f y , a ) ρ s d ( x , y , a ) (3.15)

then f has a unique fixed point z in X and the sequence { f n x } converges to z, for each x X .

4. Conclusion

A known existence theorems of common fixed points for two maps was proved for the generalized Suzuki-type contractions in b2-metric space. The results generalized and improved the field of fixed point theory for metric spaces and perfected the realization of the fixed point theory in this generalized space.
