The purpose of this paper is to define a rational orbitally (Θ, δ
b
)-contraction and prove some new results in the context of b-metric
spaces. Our results extend, generalize, and unify some known results in the literature. As application of our main result, we
investigate the solution of Fredholm integral inclusion. We also provide an example to substantiate the advantage and usefulness
of obtained results.
1. Introduction
The fixed point theory is a very essential tool for nonlinear
analysis of solvability of nonlinear integral equations and
others. A suitable selection of a generalized and extended
metric space allows to get nontrivial conditions guaranteeing
the existence of solutions for a considered equation. There-
fore, it is necessary to flourish the fixed point theory in vari-
ous generalization of metric spaces. One of the famous
extensions of metric space is the notion of b-metric space
which has been given by Bakhtin [1] in 1989. It was properly
defined by Czerwik [2] with the aspect of relaxing triangle
inequality in metric spaces in 1993 and proved famous
Banach Contraction Principle in this generalized metric
space. Khamsi and Hussain [3] discussed the topology of b
-metric space and established fixed point results for KKM
mappings in metric type spaces. Van An et al. [4] proved
the Stone-type theorem on b-metric spaces and obtained a
sufficient condition for a b-metric space to be metrizable.
On the other, Czerwik [5, 6] introduced set-valued mappings
in b-metric spaces and generalized Nadler’s fixed point theo-
rem. In 2012, Aydi et al. [7, 8] gave fixed point and common
fixed point theorems for set-valued quasicontraction map-
pings and set-valued weak ϕ-contraction mappings in the
setting of b-metric spaces, respectively. Many authors
followed the concept of b-metric space and established
impressive results [9–19].
In 2012, Jleli and Samet [20] introduced a new type of
contraction named as Θ-contraction and obtained a fixed
point result to generalize the celebrated Banach Contraction
Principle in Branciari metric spaces. Ali et al. [21] defined
multivalued Suzuki-type θ-contractions and obtained some
generalized fixed point results. Afterwards, Jleli et al. [22]
established a new fixed point theorem for Θ-contraction in
the setting of Branciari metric spaces and extended the main
result of Jleli and Samet [20]. Recently, Alamri et al. [23]
adapted Jleli’s approach to the b-metric space and obtained
some generalized fixed point results. For more details in the
direction of Θ-contractions, we refer the reader to [21–30].
In this paper, we define the notion of the rational
(Θ, δ
b
)-contraction in b-metric spaces and explore the
existence of solutions for certain integral problems of
Fredholm type as applications of our main results. We
obtain our results by using fixed point theorems for multi-
valued mappings, under new contractive conditions, in the
setting of complete b-metric spaces. Evidently, the given
results generalized some notable results of the literature
to b-metric spaces.
