4 FOREWORD The present book differs in important ways from previous texts which deal largely with metric fixed point theory. Foremost, the topics collected here are not found in any single previous treatments and most are entirely new. These include detailed discussions of Caristi s theorem in a number of settings, as well as numerous approximation techniques in Banach spaces, hyperbolic spaces, and more general geodesic spaces. In recent years metric fixed point theory has increasingly moved away from traditional functional analytic settings, thus opening up new avenues of application. The present book reflects this trend by discussing in detail aspects of the theory which involve a blend of metric fixed point theory and graph theory, as well as how retractions are used to prove fixed point results in ordered sets. Many examples are included as well as potential applications. Because of the comprehensive background material this book is self-contained and easily accessible. A notable feature is the thoroughness of the bibliographic citations, many of which are not found in any previous sources. This book should be a worthwhile resource for students and researchers interested in almost any aspect of metric fixed point theory, and especially for those interested in many of the more recent trends.

6 PREFACE Fixed point theory is without doubt one of the most important tools of modern mathematics as attested by Browder, who is considered as one of the pioneers in the development of the nonlinear functional analysis. The flourishing field of fixed point theory started in the early days of topology through the work of Poincaré, Lefschetz-Hopf and Leray-Schauder for example. Fixed point theory is widely used in different areas such as ordinary and partial differential equations, economics, logic programming, convex optimization, control theory, etc. In metric fixed point theory, successive approximations are rooted in the work of Cauchy, Fredholm, Liouville, Lipschitz, Peano and Picard. It is well accepted among experts of this subarea that Banach is responsible for laying the ground for an abstract framework well beyond the scope of elementary differential and integral equations. The fixed point theory of multivalued mappings is as important as the theory of single-valued mappings. After Nadler gave the multivalued version of the Banach fixed point theorem for contraction mappings, many authors generalized his fixed point theorem in different ways. A constructive proof of a fixed point theorem makes the conclusion more valuable in view of the fact that it yields an algorithm for computing a fixed point. The last decade has seen some excitement about monotone mappings after the publication of Ran and Reurings of the analogue to the Banach fixed point theorem in metric spaces endowed with a partial order. Their result was motivated by the problem of finding the solutions to some matrix equations, which often arise in the analysis of ladder networks, dynamic programming, control theory, stochastic filtering, statistics and many other applications. Jachymski is recognized for making the connection between classical metric fixed point theory and graph theory. This book can be treated as a foundation for both theories and presents the most up-to-date results bridging the two theories. Each chapter is written by different author(s) who attempt to render the major results understandable to a wide audience, including nonspecialists, and at the same time to provide a source for examples, references, open questions, and sometimes new approaches for those currently working in these areas of mathematics. This book should be of interest to graduate students seeking a field of interest, to mathematicians interested in learning about the subject, and to specialists. All the chapters are self-contained. Chapter 1 describes the classical Caristi fixed point theorem and its various versions, and studies Caristi-Browder operators in the setting of metric spaces, R m +-metric spaces, s(r + )-metric spaces, and Kasahara spaces. It also provides some new research directions in the Caristi-Browder operator theory. xiii
7 xiv Preface Chapter 2 is devoted to the fixed point theorems for self and nonself almost contraction mappings, and common fixed point theorems for almost contraction mappings. Iterative approximation of fixed points is also studied for implicit almost contraction mappings. The approximate fixed points are useful when a computational approach is involved. This subject is addressed in Chapter 3. Some known results about the concept of approximate fixed points of a mapping are presented. Most of the approximate fixed points discussed in this chapter are generated by an algorithm that allows its computational implementation. An application of these results to the case of a nonlinear semigroup of mappings is given. Chapter 4 presents the mathematical idea of viscosity methods for solving some applied nonlinear analysis problems, namely, fixed point problems, split common fixed point problems, split equilibrium problems, hierarchical fixed point problems, etc. together with examples in linear programming, semi-coercive elliptic problems and the area of finance. Some numerical experiments for an inverse heat equation are also given. Chapter 5 deals with several kinds of extragradient iterative algorithms for some nonlinear problems, namely, fixed point problems, variational inequality problems, hierarchical variational inequality problems and split feasibility problems. Several extragradient iterative algorithms for finding a common solution of a fixed point problem and a variational inequality problem are also presented and investigated. Chapter 6 concerns with the fixed point (common fixed point) problems for nonexpansive (asymptotically quasi-nonexpansive) mappings in Banach spaces and certain important classes of metric spaces. Some results about weak convergence, -convergence and strong convergence of explicit and multistep schemes of nonexpansive-type mappings to a common fixed point in the context of uniformly convex Banach spaces, CAT(0) spaces, hyperbolic spaces and convex metric spaces are presented. Chapter 7 discusses a new area that overlaps between metric fixed point theory and graph theory. This new area yields interesting generalizations of the Banach contraction principle in metric and modular spaces endowed with a graph. The bridge between both theories is mainly motivated by the applications of matrix and differential equations. The last chapter gives an overview how retractions are used to prove fixed point theorems for relation-preserving maps in continuous as well as discrete settings. After first discussing comparative retractions in the context of infinite ordered sets and analysis, the remainder of the chapter focuses on retractions that remove a single point in finite ordered sets, graphs and simplicial complexes.

Then f has a fixed point. Remark The first theorem (Caristi-Kirk Theorem in this chapter) is also known as: Caristi Theorem, Caristi-Kirk Theorem, Kirk-Caristi Theorem, Caristi-Ekeland Theorem, Caristi-Brøndsted Theorem, Caristi-Browder Theorem, Caristi-Kirk- Browder Theorem, etc. For some of the most relevant generalizations, further developments and related results (see Refs. [19, 33 35, 57, 63, 79, 92, 95, 98, 101, 134, 137, 161, 166, 183]). We summarize here some of the early contributions on the Caristi-Kirk Theorem, following the presentation by Caristi himself [38]: Wong [183] has simplified the original transfinite induction argument, Browder [35] has given a proof which avoids the use of transfinite induction, Siegel [161] has presented a simple constructive proof, Brézis and Browder [33] have given a general theorem on ordered sets which includes Caristi-Kirk Theorem, Kasahara [92] has proved an analog of the Caristi-Kirk Theorem in the setting of partially ordered sets. On the other hand, the Caristi-Kirk Theorem is actually implicit in Brøndsted s work [34] and is essentially equivalent to Ekeland s variational principle [63] (which is not formulated as a fixed point theorem). A generalization of Caristi-Kirk Theorem was given by Downing and Kirk [57]. Moreover, Kirk [98] has shown that the Caristi- Kirk Theorem characterizes completeness. Remark An operator f : X X which satisfies (a) and (b) in Theorem is, by definition, a weakly Picard operator and we denote (see Ref. [151]) f (x) := x (x),
14 Caristi-Browder Operator Theory in Distance Spaces 3 x X. It is clear that f (X)=F f and f : X F f is a set retraction. The above results give rise to the following notions: Definition An operator f : (X,d) (X,d) is a Caristi operator if there exists a functional ϕ : X R + such that d(x, f (x)) ϕ(x) ϕ( f (x)), for all x X. (1.1.1) Definition An operator f : (X,d) (X,d) is a Caristi-Kirk operator if f is a Caristi operator with ϕ a lower semicontinuous functional. Definition By definition, an operator f : (X,d) (X,d) is a Caristi-Browder operator if it is a Caristi operator with closed graphic. Remark If we consider on (X,d) the following partial order corresponding to ϕ : X R + (see Refs. [34, 92, 95, 101]): x d,ϕ y d(x,y) ϕ(x) ϕ(y), then, f : (X, d,ϕ ) (X, d,ϕ ) is progressive (i.e., x d,ϕ f (x) for all x X). If f is a progressive operator, then for the maximal element set, Max(X, d,ϕ ),wehavethe inclusion Max(X, d,ϕ ) F f, so the problem is to give conditions on d and ϕ such that Max(X, d,ϕ ) /0. The Caristi-Kirk Theorem and its extensions are developments on these topics. This aspect has been largely studied (see Refs. [1, 95, 101, 80]; see also Refs. [4, 19, 23, 33, 34, 57, 63, 71, 73, 100, 115, 137, 141, 161, 166, 177, 183, 187, 122, 134]. For some other extensions of Caristi Theorem, see Ref. [155] and the references therein (see also Ref. [36]). The aim of this chapter is to study the Caristi-Browder operators. The plan of the rest of the chapter is the following: List of notations / symbols Weakly Picard operators on L-spaces Caristi-Browder operators on metric spaces Caristi-Browder operators on R m + -metric spaces Caristi-Browder operators on s(r + )-metric spaces Caristi-Browder operators on Kasahara spaces Research directions in the Caristi-Browder operator theory - Caristi-Browder operator on partial metric spaces - Caristi-Browder operator on b-metric spaces

[2, 3, 5 18, 20, 22, 24, 39 56, 58 60, 64 66, 69, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 81 83, 85, 86, 88 91, 93, 94, 96, 97, 99, , 111, 116, 120, 121, , 127, , , , , 184, 185, ] List of Notations N = {0,1,2,...}; N = N \{0}; R denotes the set of real numbers: R = R \{0}; R + =[0, ); Let X be a nonempty set and let f : X X be an operator. Then - 1 X denotes the identity operator; - F f := {x X : f (x)=x} the set of fixed points of f ; - f 0 := 1 X, f 1 := f,...,f n := f f n 1 (n N ) the iterates of f ; Let (X,+,R, ) be a real normed space. Then - or denotes the strong convergence; - denotes the weak convergence; Let (X,d) be a metric space.

Let c(x) s(x) be a nonempty subset of s(x) and Lim : c(x) X be an operator. We consideron the triple (X, c(x), Lim) the following Fréchetaxioms: (c 1 )Ifx n = x for all n N, then{x n } n N c(x) and Lim{x n } n N = x.
16 Caristi-Browder Operator Theory in Distance Spaces 5 (c 2 )If{x n } n N c(x) and Lim{x n } n N = x, then all its subsequences are in c(x) and have the same limit, x. By definition, a triple (X, c(x), Lim) which satisfies the above axioms is called an L-space (see Refs. [151, 154] and the references therein). In what follows we shall use the notation (X, ), instead of (X,c(X),Lim) and instead of Lim{x n } n N = x. x n x as n, Example Let (X,τ) be a topological Hausdorff space. Then (X, τ ) is an L- space. Example Let (X,d) be a metric space. Then (X, d ) is an L-space. Example Let (X,+,R, ) be a normed space. Then, (X, ) and (X, ) are L-spaces. Example Let (X,d) be an R m +-metric space, i.e., d : X X R m +,andd satisfies the standard axioms of a metric. Then, (X, ) d is an L-space. Example Let (X,d) be a b-metric space (or quasi-metric space), i.e., d : X X R + satisfies the first two standard axioms of a metric, while the triangle inequality is replaced by d(x,y) s[d(x,z)+d(z,y)], for all x,y,z X, where s > 1isgiven, (see Refs. [21, 26, 27]). Then (X, d ) is an L-space. Example Let X be a nonempty set. The functional d : X X R + is called a semimetric if it satisfies the first two standard axioms of a metric, while the pair (X,d) is called a semimetric space. Ifd : X X R + is continuous, then (X, ) d is an L-space. Example Let X be a nonempty set, (G,+,, ) an L-space ordered group and G + := {g G g 0}. Letd : X X G + be a G + -metric, i.e., d satisfies the standard axioms of a metric. Then (X, ) d is an L-space. Let (X, ) be an L-space and f : X X be an operator.
17 6 Fixed Point Theory and Graph Theory: Foundations and Integrative Approaches By definition, f is a weakly Picard operator (WPO) if the sequence { f n (x)} n N of its iterates at x convergesfor all x X and its limit (which may depend on x)is a fixed point of f. If f is a WPO, then we consider the operator f : X X defined by f (x) := Lim f n (x), for all x X. If f is a WPO with F f = {x }, then, by definition, f is called a Picard operator (PO). If (X,d) is a metric space, f : X X is an operator and ψ : R + R + is a function then, by definition, f is a ψ-wpo if (i) ψ is increasing, continuous at 0 and ψ(0)=0; (ii) d(x, f (x)) ψ(d(x, f (x)) for all x X. For more considerations on weakly Picard operator theory (see Refs. [28, 30, 151, 156, 158]) Caristi-Browder Operators on Metric Spaces We start with some remarks an Caristi operators on a metric space (X,d) (see Refs. [35, 61, 62, 77, 154]). Remark An operator f : X X is a Caristi operator if and only if ( ) (c) d f k (x), f k+1 (x) is convergent for all x X, k=0 (see Ref. [62]). Indeed, if f is a ϕ-caristi operator then n ( ) d f k (x), f k+1 (x) ϕ(x) ϕ( f n+1 (x)) ϕ(x). k=0 If we have (c) satisfied, then where and hence (1.1.1) is satisfied. d(x, f (x)) = θ(x) θ( f (x)), for all x X, θ(x)= k=0 ( ) d f k (x), f k+1 (x), Remark gives rise to the following problem.
18 Caristi-Browder Operator Theory in Distance Spaces 7 Problem Which generalized contractions are Caristi operators? Example Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and f : X X a Banach contraction, i.e., a map satisfying d( f (x), f (y)) ad(x,y), for all x,y X, (1.4.2) where 0 a < 1 is a constant. Then f is a Caristi operator (see Refs. [30, 150, 156] for details). Example An operator f : X X is called a graphic contraction if there exists a constant 0 a < 1 such that d( f 2 (x), f (x)) ad(x, f (x)), for all x X. Then f is a Caristi operator (see Refs. [30, 150, 156] for details). Example Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and f : X X a Kannan contraction, i.e., a map for which there exists b ( 0, 1 2) such that d( f (x), f (y)) b[d(x, f (x)) + d(y, f (y))], for all x,y X. (1.4.3) Then f is a Caristi operator (see Refs. [30, 90, 150, 156] for details). Example Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and f : X X a Chatterjea contraction, i.e., a map for which there exists c ( 0, 1 2) such that d( f (x), f (y)) c[d(x, f (y)) + d(y, f (x))], for all x,y X. (1.4.4) Then f is a Caristi operator (see Refs. [30, 42, 150, 156] for details). Example Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and f : X X be a Zamfirescu contraction, i.e., a map having the property that, for each pair x,y X, at least one of the conditions (1.4.2), (1.4.3), and (1.4.4) is satisfied. Then f is a Caristi operator (see Refs. [30, 150, 156, 186] for details). Example Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and let f : X X be a Cirić quasi-contraction, i.e., a map for which there exists 0 < h < 1suchthat d( f (x), f (y)) h max{d(x,y),d(x, f (x)),d(y, f (y)),d(x, f (y)),d(y, f (x))}, (1.4.5) for all x,y X. Thenf is a Caristi operator (see Refs. [30, 46, 150, 156] for details). Example Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and f : X X a ϕ-contraction, i.e., a map for which there exists a comparison function, i.e., a function ϕ : R + R +
19 8 Fixed Point Theory and Graph Theory: Foundations and Integrative Approaches satisfying (i ϕ ) ϕ is nondecreasing; (ii ϕ ) the sequence {ϕ n (t)} converges to zero, for each t R +, such that d( f (x), f (y)) ϕ(d(x,y)), for all x,y X. (1.4.6) If ϕ is a strong comparison function, then f is a Caristi operator (see Refs. [30, 150, 156] for more details). Example Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and let f : X X be an almost contraction, i.e., a map for which there exist a constant δ (0,1) and some L 0such that d( f (x), f (y)) δ d(x,y)+ld(y, f (x)), for all x,y X. (1.4.7) Then f is a Caristi operator (see Refs. [30, 29, 150, 156] for details). Remark We note that the Caristi operators in Examples are POs, while the Caristi operator in Example is a WPO. Remark For f : X X, let us denote F f (X,R + ) := {ϕ : X R + : d(x, f (x)) ϕ(x) ϕ( f (x)) for all x X}. We note that (a) f is Caristi operator if and only if F f (X,R + ) /0; (b) ϕ f (x) := k=0 ( ) d f k (x), f k+1 (x) is the first element of the poset (F f (X,R + ), ) if and only if F f (X,R + ) /0. Remark For ϕ : X R + let us denote F ϕ (X,X) := { f : X X d(x, f (x)) ϕ(x) ϕ( f (x)) for all x X}. Let f,g F ϕ (X,X) and X = X 1 X 2 be a partition of X. Leth : X X be defined by Then h F ϕ (X,X). { f (x), for x X1, h(x) := g(x), for x X 2. Remark As 1 X F ϕ (X,X), it is impossible to control the set F f \Max(X, d,ϕ
20 Caristi-Browder Operator Theory in Distance Spaces 9 ) in F ϕ (X,X). So, the following problem arises. Problem Let (X, ) be a poset with Max(X, ) /0. Let f : X X be a progressive operator, i.e., x f (x) for all x X. The problem is to study the set F f \ Max(X, ). Remark Let CO(X,X) := { f : X X f is a Caristi operator}. We remark that if f CO(X,X),then f k CO(X,X) for all k N. Theorem Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and let f : X X be a Caristi- Browder (CB) operator. Then (a) fisawpo; (b) if f is a ϕ-cb operator with ϕ(x) c d(x, f (x)) for some c > 0, thenfis ψ-wpo with ψ(t)=c t, t R +. Proof. (a) This is just the Caristi-Browder Theorem. (b) We have d (x, f (x)) n k=0 From this relation we have that d (x, f (x)) ( ) d f k (a), f k+1 (x) + d ( f n+1 (x), f (x) ), for all x X. k=0 d ( ) f k (x), f k+1 (x) ϕ(x) c d(x, f (x)). Theorem Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and let f i : X X, i = 1,2, be ϕ i -CB operators with ϕ i (x) c i d(x, f i (x)), i= 1,2, forsomec i > 0. In addition, we suppose that there exists η > 0 such that Then d( f 1 (x), f 2 (x)) η, for all x X. H d (F f1,f f2 ) η max{c 1,c 2 }. Proof. By Theorem we have that f i is a c i -WPO, i = 1,2. This implies that d (x, f i (x)) c i d(x, f i (x)), for all x X and all i = 1,2.
21 10 Fixed Point Theory and Graph Theory: Foundations and Integrative Approaches Let x 2 F f2.then d (x 2, f1 (x 2)) c 1 d(x 2, f 1 (x 2 )) = c 1 d( f 2 (x 2 ), f 1 (x 2 )) c 1 η. If x 1 F f1, then in a similar way we have that d(x 1, f2 (x 1)) c 2 η. Now the proof follows by Lemma 8.1.3(e) in Ref. [150]. In order to prove Theorem we shall need the following lemma [151]. Lemma [151, Abstract Gronwall Lemma]. Let (X,d, ) be an ordered metric space (i.e., a set X endowed with a metric d and a partial order relation which is closed with respect to d) and let f : X X be an operator satisfying the following two conditions: (i) fisapo(f f = {x f }); (ii) f is increasing. Then (a) x f (x) x x f ; (b) x f (x) x x f. Theorem Let (X,d, ) be a complete ordered metric space and let f : X X be an operator. We suppose that (i) f : (X,d) (X,d) is a Caristi-Browder operator; (ii) f : (X, ) (X, ) is an increasing operator. Then (a) x X, x f (x) x f (x); (b) x X, x f (x) x f (x). Proof. By Theorem 1.4.1, f is a WPO with respect to. d On the other hand, the operator f : (X, ) (X, ) is increasing. So, we are in the conditions of the Abstract Gronwall Lemma and the conclusion follows. Using an abstract result for WPOs [157] (see also Ref. [238, Theorem 6.3.3]), from the above result we obtain the following Gronwall type results.
22 Caristi-Browder Operator Theory in Distance Spaces 11 Corollary Let (X,d) be a complete ordered metric space and let f : X Xbe an increasing almost contraction. Then (a) x X, x f (x) x f (x); (b) x X, x f (x) x f (x). Proof. From Ref. [156, Theorem 6.3.3], we know that the following two statements are equivalent: (WP 1 ) There exists an L-space structure on the set X,, such that the mapping f : (X, ) (X, ) is a WPO; (WP 4 ) There exists a complete metric d on X and a number α (0,1) such that (i) f : (X,d) (X,d) has closed graphic; (ii) d ( f 2 (x), f (x) ) α d(x, f (x)),forallx,y X. On the other hand, from Ref. [30, Theorem 2.11], we know that (WP 1 ) holds, with the L-space structure. d Hence, (WP 4 ) also holds. Thus, by (ii) and Example 1.4.2, f is a Caristi operator and, by (i), f is a Caristi-Browder operator. The conclusion now follows by Theorem Example Let X = R with the usual metric d(x,y)= x y and let f : R R be defined by f (x)=0, if x (,3] and f (x)= 1 2,ifx (3,+ ). Then (a) f is a Kannan operator with b = 1 7 (see Ref. [129, Example 1.3.2]); hence f is an almost contraction too. (b) f is a Caristi operator (by Example 1.4.3); (c) f is not a Caristi-Browder operator (with respect to d). Indeed, f has no closed graphic, since for x n = n (3,+ ) we have x n 3as n, f (x n )= as n, but f (3)= Remark Corollary provides only sufficient conditions for an operator to have properties (a) and (b). Indeed, as shown by Example 1.4.9, f is nonincreasing and is not a Caristi-Browder operator, hence Corollary cannot be applied. However, both conclusions of Corollary hold since f (x)=0forallx R and {x R : x f (x)} =(,0), {x R : x f (x)} =[0, ). For more considerations on weakly Picard operator theory on metric spaces, see Refs. [19, 30, 151, 156, 158].
23 12 Fixed Point Theory and Graph Theory: Foundations and Integrative Approaches 1.5. Caristi-Browder Operators on R m + -Metric Spaces Let (X,d) be an R m + -metric space. By definition an operator f : X X is a Caristi operator if there exists ϕ : R m + Rm + such that d(x, f (x)) ϕ(x) ϕ( f (x)), for all x X. If, in addition, f has closed graphic, then f is called a Caristi-Browder operator. As in the case of ordinary metric spaces (i.e., d(x,y) R + ) we have the following. Remark An operator f : X X is a Caristi operator if and only if ( ) d f k (x), f k+1 (x) is convergent for all x X. k=0 This remark is useful to give examples of Caristi operators in an R m +-metric space. Example AmatrixS R+ m m is said to be convergent to zero if and only if S n 0as. Also, by definition, an operator f : X X is an S-contraction if there exists a matrix S R+ m m convergent to zero such that d( f (x), f (y)) Sd(x,y), for all x,y X. By the properties of matrices convergent to 0 (see Ref. [156]), and by Remark 1.5.1, it follows that any S-contraction is a Caristi operator. Example An operator f : X X is called a graphic contraction if there exists amatrixs R+ m m convergent to zero such that d( f 2 (x), f (x)) Sd(x, f (x)), for all x X. By Remark 1.5.1, it follows that each graphic contraction is a Caristi operator. Example Let X be a partially ordered set such that every pair x,y X has a lower and an upper bound. Furthermore, let d beametriconx such that (X,d) is a complete R m +-metric space and suppose also that f : X X is continuous, monotone (i.e., increasing or decreasing) and satisfies the following assumptions: (i) there exists a matrix A R+ m m convergent to zero such that d( f (x), f (y)) Ad(x,y), for all x y; (ii) there exists x 0 X such that x 0 f (x 0 ) or x 0 f (x 0 ). Then f is a Caristi-Browder operator (see Theorem 2.1 in Ref. [87] for details).
24 Caristi-Browder Operator Theory in Distance Spaces 13 Example Let X be a partially ordered set such that every pair x,y X has a lower and an upper bound. Let d and ρ be two R m + -metrics on X. Letf : X X and suppose the following assumptions are satisfied: (i) d(x,y) ρ(x,y) for all x y; (ii) (X,d) is a generalized ordered complete R m + -metric space; (iii) f : (X,d) (X,d) is a continuous mapping; (iv) f is a monotone mapping; (v) there exists a matrix A R+ m m convergent to zero such that d( f (x), f (y)) Ad(x,y), for all x y; (vi) there exists x 0 X such that x 0 f (x 0 ) or x 0 f (x 0 ). Then f is a Caristi-Browder operator (see Ref. [87, Theorem 3.1] for details). Remark For more details on the matrices convergent to zero and for the fixed point theory of operators on R m + -metric spaces, see Ref. [156, pp ] and the references therein (see also Ref. [25]). Theorem Let (X,d) be a complete R m + -metric space and f : X X a Caristi- Browder operator. Then the following assertions hold. (a) fisawpo; (b) If f is a ϕ-cb operator with ϕ(x) Cd(x, f (x)) for some C R+ m m,then d (x, f (x)) Cd(x, f (x)), for all x X. Proof. (a) Let f be a ϕ-cb operator. Then we have n ( ) d f k (x), f k+1 (x) ϕ(x) ϕ ( f n+1 (x) ) ϕ(x), for all x X. k=0 Since R m + is regular (i.e., {x n} n N R m + increasing and bounded with respect to {x n } converges w. r. t. R m ), it follows that ( ) d f k (x), f k+1 (x) converges for all x X. k=0 This implies that f n (x) x (x) as n, for all x X.
25 14 Fixed Point Theory and Graph Theory: Foundations and Integrative Approaches But f has a closed graphic, so x (x) F f. (b) We have d (x, f (x)) This implies that n k=0 d (x, f (x)) ( ) d f k (x), f k+1 (x) + d ( f n+1 (x), f (x) ), for all x X. k=0 ( ) d f k (x), f k+1 (x) ϕ(x) Cd(x, f (x)). In a similar way to the considerations in Section 1.4 we have the following. Theorem Let (X,d) be a complete R m +-metric space and f i,i= 1,2, ϕ i -CB operator with ϕ i (x) C i d(x, f i (x)) for some c i R+ m m. In addition we suppose that there exists η i R m + such that Then d( f 1 (x), f 2 (x)) η, for all x X. H d (F f1,f f2 ) Cd(x, f (x)), where C R+ m m such that C i C, i = 1,2. Theorem Let (X,d, ) be a complete ordered R m + -metric space and f : X X an operator. We suppose that (i) f : (X,d) (X,d) is a Caristi-Browder operator; (ii) f : (X, ) (X, ) is an increasing operator. Then (a) x X, x f (x) x f (x); (b) x X, x f (x) x f (x). By Theorem and Examples we have the following results. Corollary Let (X,d) be a complete ordered R m + -metric space and let f : X X be an increasing S-contraction. Then (a) x X, x f (x) x f (x);

Furthermore, let d be a metric on X such that (X,d) is a complete R m +-metric space and suppose also that f : X X is continuous, increasing and satisfies the following assumptions: (i) there exists a matrix A R+ m m convergent to zero such that d( f (x), f (y)) Ad(x,y), for all x y; (ii) there exists x 0 X such that x 0 f (x 0 ) or x 0 f (x 0 ). Then (a) x X, x f (x) x f (x); (b) x X, x f (x) x f (x). Proof. By Example 1.5.3, f is a Caristi-Browder operator. The conclusion now follows by Theorem Corollary Let X be a partially ordered set such that every pair x,y X has a lower and an upper bound. Let d and ρ be two R m + -metrics on X. Let f : X X and suppose the following assumptions are satisfied: (i) d(x,y) ρ(x,y), for all x y; (ii) (X,d) is a generalized ordered complete R m + -metric space; (iii) f : (X,d) (X,d) is a continuous mapping; (iv) f is increasing; (v) there exists a matrix A R+ m m convergent to zero such that d( f (x), f (y)) Ad(x,y), for all x y; (vi) there exists x 0 X such that x 0 f (x 0 ) or x 0 f (x 0 ).

Let X be a nonempty set. By definition, a functional d : X X s(r + ) is an s(r + )-metric if d satisfies the corresponding standard Fréchet s axioms of a metric. Remark A functional d : X X s(r + ), (x,y) (d k (x,y)) k N is an s(r + )- metric on X if and only if (i) d k is a pseudometric, for all k N, i.e., d k satisfies: (a) d k (x,x)=0forallx,y X; (b) d k (x,y)=d k (y,x) for all x,y X; (c) d k (x,z) d k (x,y)+d k (y,z) for all x,y,z X; (ii) for all x,y X, x y, k N such that d k (x,y) 0.
