A class of −
-admissible mappings and general type −
contraction mappings on -metric-like space are defned. Some
fxed point results dealing with such a class of contractions are obtained. Te generalized contractions considered in this work cover
and unify many particular types of contractions. Finally, we present application to the existence of solutions for a system of integral
equations by means of -metric-like spaces.
1. Introduction
Te study of new classes of spaces and their basic properties
are always favorite topics of interest. Recently some authors
have introduced some generalizations of metric spaces in
several ways and have studied fxed point problems in these
spaces, as well as their applications. In this context, Matthews
[1] introduced the notion of partial metric space where self-
distance of an arbitrary point needs not be equal to zero.
Hitzler and Seda [2] and Amini-Harandi [3] made further
generalizations under the name of dislocated, respectively,
metric-like space. Further, Shukla et al. introduced in [4] the
notion of 0− complete metric space. Tis concept was
further extended by Alghamdi et al. [5] under the name of -
metric-like spaces. Tis class of spaces has received signifcant
attention lately.
Also these generalizations have been associated with new
and generalized classes of contractive mappings. In this direc-
tion Samet et al. [6] introduced the concept of -admissible
and −-contractive mappings, further extended to the
(, )-contractive mappings, (,,)-contractive mappings,
and −-admissible mappings. Many papers dealing with
the above notions have been considered to prove fxed point
results (e.g., see [7–25]).
In this paper, following the above discussion, we intro-
duce the notion of −
-admissible mapping and also
introduce the concepts of ( −
,) quasi-contractive
mappings and rational (−
,,) contractive mappings in
the larger framework of -metric-like space. Te considered
contractive conditions not only generalize the known ones
but also include and unify a huge number of existing results
on the topic in the corresponding literature. Finally, we apply
the given results to obtain existence of solutions of integral
equations.
2. Preliminaries
Defnition 1 (see [8]). Let be a nonempty set and ≥1 be a
given real number. A mapping : × → [0, ∞) is called
a -metric if, for all , , ∈ , the following conditions are
satisfed:
(i) (, ) = 0 if and only if =;
(ii) (, ) = (, );
(iii) (, ) ≤ [(, ) + (, )].
Te pair (, ) is called a -metric space with parameter
.
Defnition 2 (see [26]). Let be a nonempty set. A mapping
:×→[0,∞) is called metric-like if, for all ,,∈,
the following conditions are satisfed:
