With these weaker conditions, we prove a fixed point result for F-Suzuki contractions which generalizes the result of Wardowski. MSC: 74H10; 54H25 Keywords: fixed point; metric space; F-contraction 1 Introduction and preliminaries Throughout this article, we denote by R the set of all real numbers, by R+ the set of all positive real numbers, and by N the set of all natural numbers. In , Polish mathematician Banach [] proved a very important result regarding a contraction mapping, known as the Banach contraction principle. It is one of the fundamental results in fixed point theory. Due to its importance and simplicity, several authors have obtained many interesting extensions and generalizations of the Banach contraction principle (see [–] and references therein). Subsequently, in , M Edelstein proved the following version of the Banach contraction principle. Theorem . [] Let (X, d) be a compact metric space and let T : X → X be a selfmapping. Assume that d(Tx, Ty) < d(x, y) holds for all x, y ∈ X with x = y. Then T has a unique fixed point in X. In , Suzuki [] proved generalized versions of Edelstein’s results in compact metric space as follows. Theorem . [] Let (X, d) be a compact metric space and let T : X → X be a self-mapping. Assume that for all x, y ∈ X with x = y, d(x, Tx) < d(x, y) ⇒ d(Tx, Ty) < d(x, y). Then T has a unique fixed point in X. In , Wardowski [] introduce a new type of contractions called F-contraction and prove a new fixed point theorem concerning F-contractions.

Wardowski defined the F-contraction as follows. Definition . Let (X, d) be a metric space. A mapping T : X → X is said to be an Fcontraction if there exists τ > such that ∀x, y ∈ X, d(Tx, Ty) > ⇒ τ + F d(Tx, Ty) ≤ F d(x, y) , () where F : R+ → R is a mapping satisfying the following conditions: (F) F is strictly increasing, i.e. for all x, y ∈ R+ such that x < y, F(x) < F(y); (F) For each sequence {αn }∞ n= of positive numbers, limn→∞ αn = if and only if limn→∞ F(αn ) = –∞; (F) There exists k ∈ (, ) such that limα→+ α k F(α) = . We denote by F , the set of all functions satisfying the conditions (F)-(F). For examples of the function F the reader is referred to [] and []. Remark . From (F) and () it is easy to conclude that every F-contraction is necessarily continuous. Wardowski [] stated a modified version of the Banach contraction principle as follows. Theorem . [] Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and let T : X → X be an Fcontraction. Then T has a unique fixed point x∗ ∈ X and for every x ∈ X the sequence {T n x}n∈N converges to x∗ . Very recently, Secelean [] proved the following lemma. Lemma . [] Let F : R+ → R be an increasing mapping and {αn }∞ n= be a sequence of positive real numbers. Then the following assertions hold: (a) if limn→∞ F(αn ) = –∞, then limn→∞ αn = ; (b) if inf F = –∞, and limn→∞ αn = , then limn→∞ F(αn ) = –∞. By proving Lemma ., Secelean showed that the condition (F) in Definition . can be replaced by an equivalent but a more simple condition, (F ) inf F = –∞ or, also, by (F ) there exists a sequence {αn }∞ n= of positive real numbers such that limn→∞ F(αn ) = –∞. Remark . Define FB : R+ → R by FB (α) = ln α, then FB ∈ F . Note that with F = FB the F-contraction reduces to a Banach contraction. Therefore, the Banach contractions are a particular case of F-contractions. Meanwhile there exist F-contractions which are not Banach contractions (see [, ]). In this paper, we use the following condition instead of the condition (F) in Definition .: Piri and Kumam Fixed Point Theory and Applications 2014, 2014:210 http://www.fixedpointtheoryandapplications.com/content/2014/1/210 Page 3 of 11 (F ) F is continuous on (, ∞). We denote by F the set of all functions satisfying the conditions (F), (F ), and (F ). Example . Let F (α) = F ∈ F. – , α F (α) = – α + α, F (α) = , –eα F (α) = . eα –e–α Then F , F , F , Remark . Note that the conditions (F) and (F ) are independent of each other. Indeed, for p ≥ , F(α) = α–p satisfies the conditions (F) and (F) but it does not satisfy (F), while it – satisfies the condition (F ). Therefore, F F . Again, for a > , t ∈ (, /a), F(α) = (α+[α]) t, where [α] denotes the integral part of α, satisfies the conditions (F) and (F) but it does not satisfy (F ), while it satisfies the condition (F) for any k ∈ (/a, ). Therefore, F F. Also, if we take F(α) = ln α, then F ∈ F and F ∈ F. Therefore, F ∩ F = ∅. In view of Remark ., it is meaningful to consider the result of Wardowski [] with the mappings F ∈ F instead F ∈ F . Also, we define the F-Suzuki contraction as follows and we give a new version of Theorem .. Definition . Let (X, d) be a metric space. A mapping T : X → X is said to be an FSuzuki contraction if there exists τ > such that for all x, y ∈ X with Tx = Ty d(x, Tx) < d(x, y) ⇒ τ + F d(Tx, Ty) ≤ F d(x, y) , where F ∈ F. 2 Main results Theorem . Let T be a self-mapping of a complete metric space X into itself. Suppose F ∈ F and there exists τ > such that ∀x, y ∈ X, d(Tx, Ty) > ⇒ τ + F d(Tx, Ty) ≤ F d(x, y) . Then T has a unique fixed point x∗ ∈ X and for every x ∈ X the sequence {T n x }∞ n= con∗ verges to x . Proof Choose x ∈ X and define a sequence {xn }∞ n= by x = Tx , x = Tx = T x , ..., xn+ = Txn = T n+ x , ∀n ∈ N. () If there exists n ∈ N such that d(xn , Txn ) = , the proof is complete. So, we assume that < d(xn , Txn ) = d(Txn– , Txn ), ∀n ∈ N. For any n ∈ N we have τ + F d(Txn– , Txn ) ≤ F d(xn– , xn ) , i.e., F d(Txn– , Txn ) ≤ F d(xn– , xn ) – τ .

() From (), we obtain limn→∞ F(d(Txn– , Txn )) = –∞, which together with (F ) and Lemma . gives limn→∞ d(Txn– , Txn ) = , i.e., lim d(xn , Txn ) = . () n→∞ Now, we claim that {xn }∞ n= is a Cauchy sequence. Arguing by contradiction, we assume ∞ that there exist > and sequences {p(n)}∞ n= and {q(n)}n= of natural numbers such that d(xp(n) , xq(n) ) ≥ , p(n) > q(n) > n, d(xp(n)– , xq(n) ) < , ∀n ∈ N.

This contradiction establishes the relation (). Therefore, it follows from () and the assumption of the theorem that τ + F d(Txp(n) , Txq(n) ) ≤ F d(xp(n) , xq(n) ) , ∀n ≥ N. () From (F ), (), and (), we get τ + F() ≤ F(). This contradiction shows that {xn }∞ n= is ∞ a Cauchy sequence. By completeness of (X, d), {xn }n= converges to some point x in X. Finally, the continuity of T yields d(Tx, x) = lim d(Txn , xn ) = lim d(xn+ , xn ) = d x∗ , x∗ = . n→∞ n→∞ Now, let us to show that T has at most one fixed point. Indeed, if x, y ∈ X be two distinct fixed points of T, that is, Tx = x = y = Ty. Therefore, d(Tx, Ty) = d(x, y) > , then we get F d(x, y) = F d(Tx, Ty) < τ + F d(Tx, Ty) ≤ F d(x, y) , which is a contradiction. Therefore, the fixed point is unique. Theorem . Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → X be an F-Suzuki contraction. Then T has a unique fixed point x∗ ∈ X and for every x ∈ X the sequence {T n x }∞ n= converges to x∗ .

() Again, assume that there exists m ∈ N such that d(xm , Txm ) ≥ d xm , x∗ and d Txm , T xm ≥ d Txm , x∗ . () Therefore, d xm , x∗ ≤ d(xm , Txm ) ≤ d xm , x∗ + d x∗ , Txm , which implies that d xm , x∗ ≤ d x∗ , Txm . () It follows from () and () that d xm , x∗ ≤ d x∗ , Txm ≤ d Txm , T xm . () Since d(xm , Txm ) < d(xm , Txm ), by the assumption of the theorem, we get τ + F d Txm , T xm ≤ F d(xm , Txm ) . Since τ > , this implies that F d Txm , T xm < F d(xm , Txm ) . So, from (F), we get d Txm , T xm < d(xm , Txm ).

This is a contradiction. Hence, () holds. So, from (), for every n ∈ N, either τ + F d Txn , Tx∗ ≤ F d xn , x∗ , or τ + F d T xn , Tx∗ ≤ F d Txn , x∗ = F d xn+ , x∗ holds. In the first case, from (), (F ), and Lemma ., we obtain lim F d Txn , Tx∗ = –∞. n→∞ It follows from (F ) and Lemma . that limn→∞ d(Txn , Tx∗ ) = . Therefore, d x∗ , Tx∗ = lim d xn+ , Tx∗ = lim d Txn , Tx∗ = . n→∞ n→∞ Also, in the second case, from (), (F ), and Lemma ., we obtain lim F d T xn , Tx∗ = –∞. n→∞ It follows from (F ) and Lemma . that limn→∞ d(Txn , Tx∗ ) = . Therefore, d x∗ , Tx∗ = lim d xn+ , Tx∗ = lim d T xn , Tx∗ = . n→∞ n→∞ Hence, x∗ is a fixed point of T. Now let us show that T has at most one fixed point. Indeed, if x∗ , y∗ ∈ X are two distinct fixed points of T, that is, Tx∗ = x∗ = y∗ = Ty∗ , then d(x∗ , y∗ ) > . So, we have = d(x∗ , Tx∗ ) < d(x∗ , y∗ ) and from the assumption of the theorem, we obtain F d x∗ , y∗ = F d Tx∗ , Ty∗ < τ + F d Tx∗ , Ty∗ ≤ F d x∗ , y∗ , which is a contradiction. Thus, the fixed point is unique. Example . Consider the sequence {Sn }n∈N as follows: S = × , S = × + × , Sn = × + × + · · · + n(n + ) = ..., n(n + )(n + ) , .... Let X = {Sn : n ∈ N} and d(x, y) = |x – y|. Then (X, d) is complete metric space. Define the mapping T : X → X by T(S ) = S and T(Sn ) = Sn– for every n > .

On the other hand taking F(α) = – + α ∈ F, we obtain the result that T is an F-contraction with τ = . To see this, let us α consider the following calculation. First observe that d(Sn , TSn ) < d(Sn , Sm ) ⇔ ( = n < m) ∨ ( ≤ m < n) ∨ ( < n < m) . For = n < m, we have T(Sm ) – T(S ) = |Sm– – S | = × + × + · · · + (m – )m, |Sm – S | = × + × + · · · + m(m + ).
