Fixed points of asymptotically regular mappings
in complex-valued metric spaces
Mujahid Abbas, Muhammad Arshad and Akbar Azam
Abstract. In [Numer. Funct. Anal. Optim. 32 (2011), 243–253], Azam, Fisher, and Khan
introduced a notion of complex-valued metric spaces and obtained common fixed point
results for mappings satisfying rational inequalities. In the present paper, employing the
concept of asymptotically regular mappings, the existence of a fixed point is obtained in a
complex-valued metric space.
Keywords. Common fixed point, well-posedness, periodic point, complex-valued metric
spaces.

1 Introduction
Fixed point theory is one of the famous and traditional theories in mathematics and
has a broad set of applications. In this theory, contraction is one of the main tools
to prove the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point. Banach’s contraction prin-
ciple, which gives an answer as to the existence and uniqueness of a solution of an
operator equation Tx D x, is the most widely used fixed point theorem in all of the
analysis. This principle is constructive in nature and is one of the most useful tools
in the study of non-linear equations. There are many generalizations of Banach’s
contraction mapping principle in the literature [3, 4, 8, 11, 14, 19]. These general-
izations were made either by using the contractive condition or by imposing some
additional conditions on an ambient space. There have been a number of general-
izations of metric spaces such as rectangular metric spaces, pseudometric spaces,
fuzzy metric spaces, quasi-metric spaces, quasi-semi-metric spaces, probabilistic
metric spaces, D-metric spaces and cone metric spaces. A. Azam, B. Fisher, and
M. Khan [2] obtained the generalization of Banach’s contraction principle intro-
ducing the concept of a complex-valued metric space. Recently, R. Chugh and
M. Aggarwal [5] and L. Ibeni and Y. Rohen [12] discussed some fixed point theo-
rems in uniform spaces.
The purpose of the present paper is to study the fixed points of a mapping sat-
isfying a generalized inequality involving the product of complex numbers in the
