RATIONAL TYPE CYCLIC CONTRACTION IN G-METRIC SPACES
Abstract. Rational type cyclic contraction via C-class function is established in G-metric spaces, which can not be reduced to the contractive condition in standard metric spaces. A common fixed-point result is obtained for the pair of (A, B)-weakly increasing mappings in G-metric spaces.
Key words: G-metric spaces, Cyclic maps, C-class function, Common fixed point

1. Introduction. In 2012, Jleli and Samet [3] observed that some of the fixed-point theorems in G-metric spaces can be deduced from standard metric spaces or quasi-metric spaces (for details see [7], [8]). Shatanawi and Abodayeh [9] introduced a new contractive condition and proved fixed-point and common fixed-point results in G-metric spaces, for which the techniques of Jleli and Samet [3], Samet et al. [6] are inapplicable.
In this paper, we introduce rational type cyclic contraction via C-class function in G-metric space that generalizes the contractive condition of Shatanawi and Abodayeh [9] for larger class of auxiliary functions and deduced common fixed-point result in G-metric spaces. Some examples are also presented to show that our results are effective.
2. Preliminaries.
Definition 1. An altering distance function is a continuous, non-decreasing mapping : [0, to) ^ [0, to), such that 0-1(O) = 0.

Definition 2. [5] Let X be a nonempty set. Let G: X x X x X ^ [0, ro) be a function satisfying the following properties:
(Gi) G(x, y, z) = 0, if x = y = z,
(G2) G(x,x,y) > 0,Wx,y E X with x = y,
(G3) G(x, x, y) ^ G(x, y, z), Vx, y,z E X with z = y,
(G4) G(x, y, z) = G(x, z, y) = G(y, z,x) = ... (symmetry in all three variables),
(G5) G(x,y,z) ^ G(x,a,a) + G(a,y,z), Wx,y,z,a E X (rectangle inequality).
The function G is called G-metric on X and the pair (X, G) is called a G-metric space.
Definition 3. [5] A G-metric space (X, G) is said to be symmetric if
G(x,y,y) = G(y,x,x), Wx,y E X. Lemma 1. [5] If (X, G) is a G-metric space, then
G(x,y,y) ^ 2G(y,x,x),Wx,y E X.
Definition 4. [5] Let (X, G) be a G-metric space, x E X be a point, and {xn} C X be a sequence. We say that:
(1) a sequence {xn} G-converges to x, if lim G(xn,xm,x) =
0; that is, for every £ > 0 there exists n0 E N satisfying G(xn,xm,x) < e, Wn,m ^ n0.
(2) a sequence {xn} is G-Cauchy if lim G(xn,xm,xk) = 0; that
is, for every £ > 0 there exists n0 E N satisfying G(xn,xm, Xk) < e, Wn, m,k ^ n0.
(33) (X,G) is complete if every G-Cauchy sequence in X is G-convergent in X.
Proposition 1. [5] Let (X,G) be a G-metric space, {xn} C X be a sequence, and x E X. Then the following are equivalent:
(a) {xn} G-converges to x,
(b) lim G(xn,xn,x) = 0,
(c) lim G(xn,x,x) = 0.
n^œ
Proposition 2. [5] A sequence [xn] in a G-metric space (X, G) is G-Cauchy if and only if lim G(xn, xm,xm) = 0.
Definition 5. [1] A sequence {xn} in a G-metric space (X,G) is asymptotically regular if lim G(xn,xn+i,xn+i) = 0.
Lemma 2. [1] Let {xn} be an asymptotically regular sequence in a G-metric space (X, G) and suppose that {xn} is not Cauchy. Then there exist a positive real number £ > 0 and two subsequences {xnk} and {xmk} of {xn}, such that Wk E N:
k ^ nk <mk < nk+i,
, + Xmk — i) ^ £ < G(Xnk ,Xnk + i,Xmk ) and, also, for all given p1,p2,p3 E Z:
lim G(xnk+P! , Xmk +P2 ,Xmk +p3 ) £.
Definition 6. [5] Let (X, G) be a G-metric space. We say that a mapping T: X ^ X is G-continuous at x E X if {Txm} ^ Tx for all sequences {xm} C X, such that {xm} ^ x.
In 2013, Shatanawi and Postolache [10] introduced (A,B)-weakly increasing functions for a pair of mappings:
Definition 7. Let (X, be a partially ordered set and A, B be two closed subsets of X with X = A U B. Let f,g: X ^ X be two mappings. Then the pair (f, g) is said to be (A, B)-weakly increasing if fx ^ gfx, Wx E A and gx ^ fgx, Wx E B.
Kirk et al. [4] introduced cyclic mappings and proved fixed point results for cyclic mappings:
Definition 8. A self-map f: X ^ X is cyclic if there exist nonempty subsets A0, Ai,..., AP-1 C X, such that
p
X = y Ai and f (Ai) C Ai+1 for 0 ^ i ^ p - 1 (where Ap = A0).
i=1
1 + f s
Ansari [2] introduced C-class functions as follows:
Definition 9. A mapping F: [0, ro)2 ^ R is called a C-class function if it is continuous and satisfies the following conditions:
(Fi) F(s,t) ^ s, Ws,t ^ 0;
(F2) F(s, t) = s implies that either s = 0 or t = 0, W s,t ^ 0. Example 7. Let s,t E [0, ro); then we have:
(1) F(s,t) = s - t,
s — t
(2) F(s,t) = S '
(3) F M=i + f
(2) F(s,t) = ks,k E (0,1).
3. Main Results. Here we consider functions ^ E ^ and generalize the contractivity condition of Shatanawi and Abodayeh ( [9], Theorem 2.1) by using C-class function, and prove common fixed point theorems in G-metric spaces.
Theorem 1. Let ^ be an ordered relation in a set X. Let (X, G) be a complete G-metric space and X = Ay]B, where A and B are nonempty closed subsets of X. Let f,g be self mappings on X that satisfy the following conditions:
(i) The pair (f, g) is (A, B)-weakly increasing.
(ii) f(A) C B and g(B) C A.
(iii) There exist two functions E E such that
t(G(fx,gfx,gy)) ^ F(<(M(x, y)),^(M(x, y))) (1)
holds for all comparative elements x,y E X with x E A and y E B and
<(G(gx,fgx,fy)) ^ F(<(M'(x, y)),^(M'(x, y))) (2)
holds for all comparative elements x,y E X with x E B and y E A, where F is a C-class function,
M(x, y) = max |G(x, fx, y),
G{fx,fx,y)[l + G(x,x,gy)] 1 + G(x,fx,y) , G(gy, gy, y)[1 + G(fx, fx, x)] 1 + G(x,fx,y)
and
G(gx,gx,y)[1 + G(x,x,fy)] 1 + G(x, gx, y) ' G(fy, fy, y)[1 + G(gx, gx., x)]
M'(x, y) = max < G(x, gx, y),
1 + ^(x, gx, y) ........... "}•
1 + G(x,gx,y) (iv) f or g is continuous.
Then, f and g have a common fixed point in A[~\B.
Proof. Start with x0 E A. Since f (A) C B, there exists x1 E B, such that fx0 = x1 and, since g(B) C A, there exists x2 E A, such that gx1 = x2. Continuing this way, we construct a sequence {xn} in X, such that
fx2n = x2n+1, for x2n E A; and gx2n+1 = x2n+2, for x2n+1 E B,n ^ 0.
Using condition (i), we have xn — xn+1, Wn ^ 0.
If x2n = x2n+1, for some n E N, then x2n is a fixed point of f in
Af)B. Since x2n — x2n+1, from (1) we have:
4>(G(x2n+1,X2n+2 ,%2n+2)) = &(G(fX2n, gf%2n, g%2n+1)) ^
^ F((j)(M(x2n,X2n+1)),^(M(x2n,X2n+1))), (3)
where
M (x2n,X2n+1) =
max |G(x2n, fx2n,x2n+i),
G(fx2n, fX2n,X2n+l)[1 + G(X2n, X2n, 9%2n+l)]
1 + G(X2n, fX2n,X2n+l) G(gX2n+l, gX2n+l,X2n+l)[1+G(fX2n, fX2n, ^2ra)]l =
1 + G(X2 ra i fX2n,X2n+l) J
G(X2n+l,X2n+l,X2n+l )[1 + G(X2n, X2n, ^2ra+2)]
max < G(X2n, X2n+l, ^2n+l),
1 + G(X2 ni
G(X2n+2,X2n+2,X2n+i)\1 + G(X2n+1, X2n+1, X2n)]^ =

= max{G(X2n,X2n+1,X2n+l),G(X2n+1,X2n+2,X2n+2)} =
= G(X2n+1,X2n+2,^2n+2).
From (3) and ( F1) we have:
4>(G(X2n+1,X2n+2,%2n+2)) ^
^ F (<(G(x2n+1,X2n+2,X2n+2 )), lKG(X2n+1, %2n+2, %2n+2))) ^
^ 4>(G(X2n+1,X2n+2,X2n+2)),
which implies
F(4>(G(X2n+1, X2n+2, %2n+2)) , '^(G(X2n+1, X2n+2, %2n+2))) =
= <(G(X2n+1,X2n+2,%2n+2)).
From ( F2) we have:
4>(G(X2n+1,X2n+2,X2n+2) = 0 or ^(G(X2n+1, X2n+2, %2n+2) = 0.
Since < E $ and ^ E we have G(x2n+1,x2n+2,x2n+2) = 0. That is, x2n = x2n+1 = x2n+2. Hence, x2n is a common fixed point of f and g in Af|B. Now, assume that xn = xn+1, Wn ^ 0. Since x2n ^ x2n+1, from (1) we have:
4>(G(x2n+1 X2n+2)) = <(G(fX2n,gfX2n,gX2n+1)) ^
^ F(<(M(x2n,X2n+1 )),^(M(x2n,X2n+1))),
(4)
where
M (X2n,X2n+1) = max{G(X2n ,X2n+1,X2n+1),G(X2n+1,X2n+2,X2n+2)}.
If M(x2n,X2n+1) = G(x2n+1,X2n+2,X2n+2), Wn ^ 0, then from (4) we have
<(G(x2n+1,X2n+2,X2n+2)) ^
^ F (4>(G(x2n+1, X2n+2, X2n+2 )),^(G (x2n+1 ,X2n+2, X2n+2 ))).
Since F is C-class function, we have:
F (<(G(x2n+l,x2n+2,x2n+2)),'(G(x2n+l,x2n+2,x2n+2))) =
= <(G(x2n+l,x2n+2,x2n+2)) <(G(x2n+l, x2n+2, x2n+2)) = 0
or
'(G(x2n+l , x2n+2, x2n+2))=0, Vn > 0.
Since < E $, we have G(x2n+l,x2n+2,x2n+2) = 0,Vn ^ 0; this implies x2n+l = x2n+2, Vn ^ 0: a contradiction. Therefore, M(x2n,x2n+l) = = G(x2n,x2n+l,x2n+l), Vn ^ 0. Now, from (4) and ( Fl), we get
<(G(x2n+l,x2n+2,x2n+2)) ^
^ F(0(G(x2 n 1 x2n+l,x2n+l)),'(G(x2n, x2n+l,x2n+l))) ^
^ 0(G(x2n,x2n+l,x2n+l)), Vn ^ 0. (5) Since x2n+l — x2n+2, from (2) we can prove:
0(G(x2n+2,x2n+3,x2n+3)) ^
^ F(0(G(x2n+l,x2n+2,x2n+2)),'(G(x2n+l,x2n+2,x2n+2))) ^
^ 4>(G(x2n+l , x2n+2i x2n+2)), Vn > 0. (6)
From (5) and (6), we conclude that
0(G(xn+l,xn+2,xn+2)) ^ F(0(G(xn,xn+l,xn+l))'(G(xn,xn+l,xn+l))) ^
^ 0(G(xn,xn+l,xn+l)),Vn ^ 0. (7)
Since < E $, we get G(xn+l,xn+2,xn+2) ^ G(xn,xn+l,xn+l),Vn ^ 0, which implies that the sequence {G(xn,xn+l,xn+l)} is a non-negative monotonically decreasing sequence. So, there exists r ^ 0, such that
lim G(xn,xn+l,xn+l) = r. (8)
By taking the limit as n ^ <x> in (7), we get
<(r) ^ F(<(r), lim '(G(xn,xn+l,xn+l))) ^ <(r),
which implies that F(<(r), lim '(G(xn,xn+l,xn+l))) = <(r). From ( F2), we get <(r) = 0 or lim '(G(xn,xn+l,xn+-])) = 0. Since < E $ and ' E we get
r = lim G(xn,xn+l,xn+l) = 0. (9)
From the definition of G-metric space, we have
lim G(xn,xn,xn+l) = 0. (10)
Now, we prove that {xn} is G-Cauchy. It is sufficient to show that {x2n} is a G-Cauchy sequence.
Suppose that {xn} is not Cauchy. Then, by (9), (10), and Lemma 2, there exist e > 0 and two subsequences {x2nk} and {x2mk} of {x2n}, such that Wk E N, k ^ nk < < nk+l and for all givenpl,p2,p3 E Z,
lim G(X2nk +pi ,X2mk +P2 ,x2mk +P3 ) = (11)
Since x2mk — x2nk+l, from (1) we have:
4>{G{x2mk+l,x2mk+2,x2nk+2)) = $(G(fX2mk ,gfx2mk , 3x2nk+l)) ^
^ F (0(M (X2mk ,X2nk + l))MM (X2mk ,X2nk + l))), (12)
where M (X2m
k , X2nk + l) — max G(X2mk , X2mk + l, x2nk+l) ,
G(X2mk+l,X2mk + l,X2nk+l)[l + G(X2mk , x2mk , x2nk +2)]
1 + G(x2mk ,X2mk+\,X2nk+i) G{x2nk +2,X2nk +2,X2nk+1)[1 + G(X2rnk+1,X2mk+1,X2mk )]
1 + G(x2mk ,X2mk+1,X2nk+1) Using (9), (10) and (11), we get lim M(X2mk ,X2nk+1 ) = £■ Taking
k^-œ
limit as k ^ <x> in (12), we get
0(e) ^ F(0(e), lim ^(M(X2mk,X2Uk+1))). Since F is a C-class function, we get
0(e) ^ F(0(e), lim ^(M(X2mk,X2Uk+1))) ^ 0(e);
k^-œ
this implies that
0(e) = 0 or lim ^(M(x2mk,x2nk+1)) = 0;
k^-œ
so we get e = lim M(x2mk, x2nk+1) = 0: a contradiction. Thus,
k^-œ
[x2n] is a G-Cauchy sequence in (X, G). So, the sequence [xn] is a G-Cauchy sequence in (X, G). Since (X, G) is complete, there exists u E
X, such that {xn} is G-convergent to u. Therefore, the subsequences {x2n} and {x2n+l} are G-convergent to u. Since {x2n} C A and A are closed, u E A. Also, {x2n+l} C B and B are closed, so u E B. Now, we may assume that f is continuous. So, we have fu = lim fx2n = lim x2n+l = u. By uniqueness of the limit, we have fu = u. Since u — u, from (1) we have:
<(G(u,gu,gu)) = <(G(fu,gfu,gu)) ^ F(<(M(u,u)),'(M(u,u))),
(13)
where
G(fu, fu, u)[1 + G(u, u, gu)}
M(u, u) = max < G(u, fu, u),
[1 + G(u, fu, u)] G(gu, gu, u)[1 + G(fu, fu, u)]
| = G(u, gu, gu).
[1 + G(u, fu, u)]
Using (13), we obtain
<(G(u,gu,gu)) ^ F(<p(G(u,gu,gu)),'(G(u,gu,gu))).
Since F is a C-class function, we have
<(G(u, gu, gu)) = 0 or '(G(u, gu, gu)) = 0.
This implies G(u,gu,gu) = 0. Hence, gu = u. Thus, u is a common fixed point of f and g in A P| B. □
The following example shows that the condition (iii) defined in Theorem 1 is more general than the condition (iii) of Theorem 2.1 in [9].
Example 8. Let X = {0,1} and define G: X x X x X ^ [0, <x>) as
G(0,0,0) = G(1,1,1) = 0, G(0,0,1) = 1 and G(0,1,1) = 2. Then the function G is a G-metric on X.
Take A = B = {0,1}, and x — y if and only if x ^ y. Define the mappings f, g: X ^ X as follows:
f(0) = 1, f(1) = 0 and 0(0) = 0, g(1) = 1.
Let 4>, ^: [0, to) ^ [0, to) and F: [0, to) x [0, to) ^ R be defined by 0(i) = t/2, ^(t) = t and F(s,t) = s/(1 +t), for all s,t E [0, to). For x = 0, y =1,
M (0,1)=max{ G(0,f 0,1)
G(f 0,f0,1)[1 + G(0, 0,g1)]
1 + G(0,f 0,1) G(91,91,1)[1 + G(f °J 0 0)], = = 2
1 + G(0,f 0,1) j = max{2,0} = 2.
Now,
F(0(M(0,1)),^(M(0,1))) = F(0(2),^(2)) = F(1, 2) = 1 ^
^ 0(G(/0,gf0,01)) = 0(0).
For x =1, y = 0:
G(f 1,f 1,0)[1 + G(1,1,g0)]
M (1, 0)= max{ G(1,f 1, 0),
1 + G(1,f 1, 0)
G(g0, g0,0)[1 + G(/1J1,1)] | = max{1,0} = 1. 1 + G(1,f1,0) J ^ }
Now,
F(0(M(1,0)),^(M(1, 0))) = F(0(1), ^(1)) = F(2, 1) = 1 ^
^ 0(G(/ 1,gf 1,g0)) = 0(0).
Hence, the condition (iii) of Theorem 1 is satisfied.
But 0(G(0, f 0,1)) - 4>(G(0, f 0,1)) = 0(2) - -0(2) = 1 - 2 = -1 ^ 0.
This shows that the condition (iii) of Theorem 2.1 in [9] does not
hold.
In Theorem 1, if we replace ^ E ^ with ^ E $ and take M(x,y) = G(x, fx,y), M'(x,y) = G(x,gx,y) and F(s,t) = s - t, then we get Theorem 2.1 of [9], as a particular case. Now, the following example validates Theorem 1.
Example 9. Let X = [0,1/2] and let f,g: X ^ X be given as 2
f (x) = and g(x) = -. Take A = [0,1/2] and B = [0,1/2].
1 + x 2
Define the function G : X x X x X ^ [0, œ) as
j0, ifx = y = z,
G(x, y, z) = <
\max{x,y, z}, otherwise.
Clearly, G is a complete G-metric on X. We introduce a relation on X by x ^ y if and only if y « x. Also, define the functions F : [0, œ)2 ^R by F (s, t) = s - t and : [0, œ) ^ [0,œ) by <(t) = 2t and
é(t) = . 1 + 2t
Note that f(A) = [0,1/4] ÇB and g(B) = [0,1/2] Ç A. To prove (i), given x E X,
gfx

2(1+ x)'
x2 x2
Since x E [0,1/2], —-- < ---. Thus, a fx ^ fx and, hence,
L 1 1 2(1+x) (1+x)
x - x for all x E X. To prove (iii), given x E A and y E B with y^x. Then
x22 x2
G(fx, qfx, qy) = ma^^--, —--, — \ = -
(1 + x) 2(1 + x) 2 2
and
M( \ / y(1 + x) y(1 + 2) \ M(x, y) = max{y, jr^r, orwJ
Since
2
T «2!/ - (TT20!
we have
<(G(fx,gfx,fy)) « F(<(M(x, y)),^(M(x, y))).
Hence, all the conditions of Theorem 1 are satisfied. Notice that 0 is the unique common fixed point of f and g.
Corollary 1. Let ^ be an ordered relation in a set X. Let (X,G) be a complete G-metric space and X = A U B, where A and B are nonempty closed subsets of X. Let f be a continuous self map on X that satisfies the following conditions:
(1) fx X f2x, Vx E X.
(2) f (A) C B and f (B) C A.
(3) There exist two functions E E such that
0(G(fx,f2x,fy)) ^ F($(M(x,y)),^(M(x,y))) (14)
holds for all comparative elements x,y E X, where F is a C-class function,
Then f has a fixed point in A fi B.
Proof. The proof follows from Theorem 1 by taking g = f. □
