1 Introduction and preliminaries

The notion of metric space, introduced by Fréchet in 1906, is one of the cornerstones of not only mathematics but also several quantitative sciences. Due to its importance and application potential, this notion has been extended, improved and generalized in many different ways. An incomplete list of the results of such an attempt is the following: quasi-metric space, symmetric space, partial metric space, cone metric space, G-metric space, probabilistic metric space, fuzzy metric space and so on.
In this paper, we pay attention to the concept of b-metric space. The notion of b-metric space was introduced by Czerwik [1] in 1993 to extend the notion of metric space. In this interesting paper, Czerwik [1] observed a characterization of the celebrated Banach fixed point theorem [2] in the context of complete b-metric spaces. Following this pioneer paper, several authors have devoted their attention to research the properties of a b-metric space and have reported the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of various operators in the setting of b-metric spaces (see, e.g., [312] and some reference therein).
The aim of this paper is to generalize various known results proved by Kikkawa and Suzuki [13], Mot and Petrusel [14], Dhompongsa and Yingtaweesittikul [15] to the case of b-metric spaces and give an example to illustrate our main results.
Definition 1 Let X be any nonempty set. An element x in X is said to be a fixed point of a multi-valued mapping T : X 2 X if x T x , where 2 X denotes the collection of all nonempty subsets of X.
Let ( X , d ) be a metric space. Let C B ( X ) be the collection of all nonempty, closed and bounded subsets of X. In the sequel, we use the following notations:
d ( a , A ) = inf { d ( a , x ) : x A } , δ ( A , B ) = sup { d ( a , B ) : a A } , δ ( B , A ) = sup { d ( b , A ) : b B }
and
H ( A , B ) = max { δ ( A , B ) , δ ( B , A ) }
for any A , B C B ( X ) .
Notice that H is called the Hausdorff metric induced by the metric d.
We start with recalling some basic definitions and lemmas on b-metric spaces. The definition of a b-metric space is given by Czerwik [1] (see also [4, 5]) as follows.
Definition 2 Let X be a nonempty set X and s 1 be a given real number. A function d : X × X R + is called a b-metric provided that, for all x , y , z X ,
(bms1) d ( x , x ) = 0 ,
(bms2) d ( x , y ) = d ( y , x ) ,
(bms3) d ( x , z ) s ( d ( x , y ) + d ( y , z ) ) .
Note that a (usual) metric space is evidently a b-metric space. However, Czerwik [1, 4] showed that a b-metric on X need not be a metric on X (see also [5, 16, 17]). The following example shows that a b-metric on X need not be a metric on X.
Example 1 (cf. [18])
Let X = { a , b , c } and d ( a , c ) = d ( 2 , c ) = m 2 , d ( c , b ) = d ( b , a ) = d ( b , c ) = d ( c , b ) = 1 , and d ( a , a ) = d ( b , b ) = d ( c , c ) = 0 . Then d ( x , y ) m 2 [ d ( x , z ) + d ( z , y ) ] for all x , y , z X . If m > 2 , then the ordinary triangle inequality does not hold.
Let ( X , d ) be a b-metric space. We cite the following lemmas from Czerwik [1, 4, 5] and Singh et al. [18].
Lemma 1 Let ( X , d ) be a b-metric space. For any A , B C B ( X ) and any x , y X , we have the following:
(1)
d ( x , B ) d ( x , b ) for any b B ,
 
(2)
d ( x , B ) H ( A , B ) ,
 
(3)
d ( x , A ) s ( d ( x , y ) + d ( y , B ) ) .
 
Remark 1 Let ( X , d ) be a b-metric space and A be a nonempty set in ( X , d ) and x A , then we have
d ( x , A ) = 0 x A ¯ = A ,
where A ¯ denotes the closure of A with respect to the induced metric d. Note that A is closed in ( X , d ) if and only if A ¯ = A .
Remark 2 The mapping d in a b-metric space ( X , d ) need not be jointly continuous (see, e.g., [19, 20]).
Lemma 2 Let A and B be nonempty closed and bounded subsets of a b-metric space ( X , d ) and q > 1 . Then, for all a A , there exists b B such that d ( a , b ) q H ( A , B ) .
Lemma 3 Let ( X , d ) be a b-metric space. Let A and B be in C B ( X ) . Then, for each α > 0 and for all b B , there exists a A such that d ( a , b ) H ( A , B ) + α .
The following result was proved by Aydi et al. in [21].
Theorem 1 Let ( X , d ) be a complete b-metric space and let F : X C B ( X ) be a multi-valued mapping such that for all x , y X ,
H ( F x , F y ) r M ( x , y ) ,
(1.1)
where 0 r < 1 s 2 + s < 1 and
M ( x , y ) = max { d ( x , y ) , d ( x , F x ) , d ( y , F y ) , d ( x , F y ) , d ( y , F x ) } .
Then F has a fixed point in X, that is, there exists u X such that u F u .
The following preliminary lemma will play a crucial role in the sequel.
Lemma 4 [22]
Let ( X , d ) be a complete b-metric space and let { x n } be a sequence in X such that d ( x n + 1 , x n + 2 ) β d ( x n , x n + 1 ) for all n = 0 , 1 , 2 ,  , where 0 β < 1 . Then { x n } is a Cauchy sequence in X provided that s β < 1 .

2 Main results

In this section we state and prove our main results. Inspired the results of Aydi et al. [21], we establish a Kikkawa and Suzuki type fixed point theorem in the framework of b-metric spaces as follows.
Theorem 2 Let ( X , d ) be a complete b-metric space and let F : X C B ( X ) be a multi-valued mapping. Then, for s 1 , define a strictly decreasing function σ from [ 0 , 1 ) onto ( 1 2 , 1 ] by σ ( r ) = 1 ( 1 + s r ) , where r < 1 s 2 + s < 1 , such that
σ ( r ) d ( x , F x ) s d ( x , y ) H ( F x , F y ) r d ( x , y )
(2.1)
for all x , y X . Then there exists u X such that u F u .
Proof If d ( x , y ) = 0 , then by (2.1) we deduce that x = y is a fixed point of F. Hence the proof is completed. Thus, throughout the proof, we assume that d ( x , y ) > 0 for all x , y X . Take
α = 1 2 ( 1 s 2 + s r )
and
β = r + α = 1 2 ( 1 s 2 + s + r ) .
Due to the assumption r < 1 s 2 + s , we conclude that α > 0 and 0 < β < 1 . Let x 0 X be arbitrary and x 1 F x 0 . Owing to (2.1), we have
σ ( r ) d ( x 0 , F x 0 ) σ ( r ) d ( x 0 , x 1 ) s d ( x 0 , x 1 ) ,
which yields that
H ( F x 0 , F x 1 ) r d ( x 0 , x 1 ) .
By Lemma 3, there exists x 2 F x 1 . Now, by using the previous inequality, we obtain
d ( x 1 , x 2 ) H ( F x 0 , F x 1 ) + α d ( x 0 , x 1 ) r d ( x 0 , x 1 ) + α d ( x 0 , x 1 ) = β d ( x 0 , x 1 ) ,
where β = r + α . On the other hand, we have
σ ( r ) d ( x 1 , F x 1 ) σ ( r ) d ( x 1 , x 2 ) d ( x 1 , x 2 ) s d ( x 1 , x 2 ) .
Thus, we derive that
H ( F x 1 , F x 2 ) r d ( x 1 , x 2 )
by condition (2.1). Employing Lemma 3 again, there exists x 3 F x 2 such that
d ( x 2 , x 3 ) H ( F x 1 , F x 2 ) r d ( x 1 , x 2 ) + α d ( x 1 , x 2 ) β d ( x 1 , x 2 ) .
Continuing in this way, we can construct a sequence { x n } in X such that x n + 1 F x n and
d ( x n , x n + 1 ) β n d ( x 0 , x 1 )
(2.2)
for all n N . Having in mind s 1 together with β = 1 2 ( 1 s 2 + s + r ) and r < 1 s 2 + s , one can easily obtain that s β < 1 . Taking Lemma 4 into account, we conclude that the sequence { x n } is a Cauchy sequence in ( X , d ) . Since the b-metric space ( X , d ) is complete, there exists u X such that lim n + d ( x n , u ) = 0 . Due to fact that β < 1 , we can easily observe that
lim n + d ( x n , x n + 1 ) = 0 ,
by using inequality (2.2). Notice that the condition (bms3) yields
d ( x n + 1 , u ) s ( d ( x n + 1 , x n ) + d ( x n , u ) ) .
Consequently, we have
lim n + d ( x n + 1 , u ) = 0 .
In what follows, we shall show that
d ( u , F x ) s r d ( u , x )
for all x X { u } . Since d ( x n , u ) 0 as n + , there exists n 0 N such that
d ( x n , u ) 1 3 d ( u , x )
for all n N with n n 0 . Then we have
σ ( r ) d ( x n , F x n ) d ( x n , F x n ) d ( x n , x n + 1 ) s ( d ( x n , u ) + d ( u , x n + 1 ) ) 2 s 3 d ( u , x ) s d ( u , x ) s d ( x n , u ) s d ( x n , x ) ,
and hence by assumption (2.1) we get H ( F x n , F x ) r d ( x n , x ) . Further, we have
d ( u , F x ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + d ( x n + 1 , F x ) ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + H ( F x n , F x ) ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + r d ( x n , x ) ) .
Letting n + in the inequality above, we obtain
d ( u , F x ) r s d ( u , x )
(2.3)
for all x X { u } .
Next, we prove that
H ( F x , F u ) r d ( x , u )
for all x X with x u . For all n N , we choose v n F x such that
d ( u , v n ) d ( u , F x ) + 1 n d ( x , u ) .
Then, using (2.3) and the previous inequality, we get
d ( x , F x ) d ( x , v n ) s ( d ( x , u ) + d ( u , v n ) ) s ( d ( x , u ) + d ( u , F x ) + 1 n d ( x , u ) ) ( d ( x , u ) + s r d ( u , x ) + 1 n d ( x , u ) ) = s ( 1 + s r + 1 n ) d ( x , u ) .
Hence, for all n N , we obtain σ ( r ) d ( x , F x ) s d ( x , u ) . So, we have
H ( F x , F u ) r d ( x , u ) .
Finally, if for some n N we have x n = x n + 1 , then x n is a fixed point of F. Consequently, throughout the proof we assume that x n x n + 1 for all n N . This implies that there exists an infinite subset J of ℕ such that x n u for all n J . By Lemma 1, we have
d ( u , F u ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + d ( x n + 1 , F u ) ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + H ( F x n , F u ) ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + r d ( x n , u ) ) .
Letting n + in the inequality above, with n J , we find that
d ( u , F u ) = 0 .
By Remark 1, we deduce that u F u and hence u is a fixed point of F. □
Remark 3 Taking s = 1 in Theorem 2 (it corresponds to the case of metric spaces), the condition on r < 1 2 , σ ( r ) = 1 1 + r , we find Theorem 1.2 of Kikkawa and Suzuki. Hence, Theorem 2 is an extension of the result of Kikkawa et al. [13], which itself improves the theorem of Nadler [7].
In the case where T : X X is a single-valued mapping on a b-metric space, we have the following corollary (it is a consequence of Theorem 2).
Corollary 1 Let ( X , d ) be a complete b-metric space and let F : X X be a single-valued mapping. Define a strictly decreasing function σ from [ 0 , 1 ) onto ( 1 2 , 1 ] by σ ( r s ) = 1 1 + s r , r < 1 s 2 + s < 1 such that
σ ( r s ) d ( x , F x ) s d ( x , y ) d ( F x , F y ) r d ( x , y )
(2.4)
for all x , y X . Then there exists u X such that u = F u .
Proof It follows by applying Theorem 2 and the fact that H ( F x , F y ) = d ( F x , F y ) . □
Remark 4 Corollary 1 implies the corresponding result of Suzuki [23] if we take s = 1 .
The following theorem is a result of Reich type [8] as well as a generalization of Kikkawa and Suzuki type in the framework of b-metric spaces.
Theorem 3 Let ( X , d ) be a complete b-metric space and let F : X C B ( X ) be a multi-valued mapping. If for s 1 there exist nonnegative numbers a, b, c with s ( a + b + c ) [ 0 , 1 ) and θ = 1 s b s c 1 + s a such that
θ d ( x , F x ) s d ( x , y ) H ( F x , F y ) a d ( x , y ) + b d ( x , F x ) + c d ( y , F y )
(2.5)
for all x , y X , then F has a fixed point.
Proof Let x 0 X be arbitrary and x 1 F x 0 , then we have
θ d ( x 0 , F x 0 ) θ d ( x 0 , x 1 ) s d ( x 0 , x 1 ) .
By condition (2.5) we get
H ( F x 0 , F x 1 ) a d ( x 0 , x 1 ) + b d ( x 0 , F x 0 ) + c d ( x 1 , F x 1 ) .
Let h ( 1 , 1 s ( a + b + c ) ) , then by Lemma 2 there exists x 2 F x 1 such that
d ( x 1 , x 2 ) h H ( F x 0 , F x 1 ) ,
which yields
d ( x 1 , x 2 ) h H ( F x 0 , F x 1 ) h ( a d ( x 0 , x 1 ) + b d ( x 0 , F x 0 ) + c d ( x 1 , F x 1 ) ) h ( a + b ) d ( x 0 , x 1 ) + h c d ( x 1 , x 2 ) h ( a + b ) 1 h c d ( x 0 , x 1 ) .
Now, we have
θ d ( x 1 , F x 1 ) θ d ( x 1 , x 2 ) s d ( x 1 , x 2 ) .
Due to assumption (2.1), we get
H ( F x 1 , F x 2 ) a d ( x 1 , x 2 ) + b d ( x 1 , F x 1 ) + c d ( x 2 , F x 2 ) .
Taking Lemma 2 into account, we conclude that there exists x 3 F x 2 such that
d ( x 2 , x 3 ) h H ( F x 1 , F x 2 ) .
Consequently, we have
d ( x 2 , x 3 ) h H ( F x 1 , F x 2 ) h ( a d ( x 1 , x 2 ) + b d ( x 1 , F x 1 ) + c d ( x 2 , F x 2 ) ) h ( a + b ) d ( x 1 , x 2 ) + h c d ( x 2 , x 3 ) h ( a + b ) 1 h c d ( x 1 , x 2 ) .
Continuing in a similar way, we can obtain a sequence { x n } of successive approximations for F, starting from x 0 , satisfying the following:
(a)
x n + 1 F x n for all n N ;
 
(b)
d ( x n , x n + 1 ) k n d ( x 0 , x 1 ) for all n N ,
 
where k = h ( a + b ) 1 h c < 1 . Now, following the lines in the proof of Theorem 2, we deduce that the sequence { x n } converges to some u X with respect to the metric d, that is, lim n + d ( x n , u ) = 0 .
For this purpose, we first claim that
d ( u , F x ) s ( a + b θ ) d ( u , x ) + s c d ( x , F x )
for all x X { u } . Since d ( x n , u ) 0 as n + under the metric d, there exists n 0 N such that
d ( x n , u ) 1 3 d ( u , x )
for each n n 0 . Then we have
θ d ( x n , F x n ) d ( x n , F x n ) d ( x n , x n + 1 ) s ( d ( x n , u ) + d ( u , x n + 1 ) ) s ( 2 3 d ( u , x ) ) s ( d ( u , x ) d ( x n , u ) ) s d ( x n , x ) ,
which implies that
H ( F x n , F x ) a d ( x n , x ) + b d ( x n , F x n ) + c d ( x , F x ) a d ( x n , x ) + b θ d ( x n , x ) + c d ( x , F x ) = ( a + b θ ) d ( x n , x ) + c d ( x , F x )
for all n n 0 . Thus we have
d ( u , F x ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + d ( x n + 1 , F x ) ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + H ( F x n , F x ) ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + ( a + b θ ) d ( x n , x ) + c d ( x , F x ) )
for all n n 0 . Letting n + , we get
d ( u , F x ) s ( a + b θ ) d ( u , x ) + s c d ( x , F x )
for all x X { u } .
Next, we show that
H ( F x , F u ) ( a + b s θ ) d ( x , u ) + c d ( u , F u )
for all x X with x u . Now, for all n N , there exists y n F x such that
d ( u , y n ) d ( u , F x ) + 1 n d ( x , u ) .
On the other hand, we have
d ( x , F x ) d ( x , y n ) s ( d ( x , u ) + d ( u , y n ) ) = s ( d ( x , u ) + d ( u , y n ) ) s ( d ( x , u ) + d ( u , F x ) + 1 n d ( x , u ) ) s ( d ( x , u ) + s ( a + b θ ) d ( u , x ) + c d ( x , F x ) + 1 n d ( x , u ) ) = s ( 1 + s a + s b θ + s n ) d ( x , u ) + s c d ( x , F x )
for all n N . Letting n + in the inequality above, we derive that
( 1 s c ) d ( x , F x ) s ( 1 + s a + s b θ ) d ( x , u ) .
Hence, we have θ d ( x , F x ) s d ( x , u ) , which implies
H ( F x , F u ) a d ( x , u ) + b d ( x , F x ) + c d ( u , F u ) ( a + b s θ ) d ( x , u ) + c d ( u , F u )
for all x X { u } .
Finally, if for some n N we have x n = x n + 1 , then x n is a fixed point of F. Assume that x n x n + 1 for all n N . Thus, there exists an infinite subset J of ℕ such that x n u for all n J . Now, for all n J , we have
d ( u , F u ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + d ( x n + 1 , F u ) ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + H ( F x n , F u ) ) s ( d ( u , x n + 1 ) + ( a + s b θ ) d ( x n , u ) + c d ( u , F u ) ) .
Letting n + with n J , we get
d ( u , F u ) = 0 .
By Remark 1, we deduce that u F u and hence u is a fixed point of F. □
Remark 5 Taking s = 1 in Theorem 3 (it corresponds to the case of metric spaces), with a + b + c [ 0 , 1 ) , θ = 1 b c 1 + a , we get Theorem 6.6 of Mot and Petrusel [14] which itself is an extension of the theorem given in Reich [8], p.5, as well as a generalization of Kikkawa-Suzuki’s Theorem 1.1.
If T : X X is a single-valued mapping on a b-metric space, we have the following corollary which is a consequence of Theorem 3.
Corollary 2 Let ( X , d ) be a complete b-metric space and let F : X X be a single-valued mapping. If for s 1 there exist nonnegative numbers a, b, c with s ( a + b + c ) [ 0 , 1 ) and θ = 1 s b s c 1 + s a such that
θ d ( x , F x ) s d ( x , y ) d ( F x , F y ) a d ( x , y ) + b d ( x , F x ) + c d ( y , F y )
(2.6)
for all x , y X , then F has a fixed point.
Remark 6 If we take s = 1 in Corollary 2, we immediately get a Kikkawa-Suzuki type fixed point theorem for a Reich-type single-valued operator, see [8, 24].
Example 2 Let X = [ 1 , ) and d ( x , y ) = | x y | 2 for all x , y X . Then d is a b-metric on X with s = 2 and ( X , d ) is complete. Also, d is not a metric on X. Define F : X C B ( X ) by
F x = [ 2 , 2 + x 3 ]
for all x , y X . Consider H ( F x , F y ) = 1 9 ( x y ) 2 = 1 9 d ( x , y ) , where r = 1 9 < 1 6 = 1 s 2 + s < 1 . So all the conditions of Theorem 2 are satisfied. Moreover, 2 and 3 are the two fixed points of F.
