A fixed point theorem is proved in a complete metrically convex metric space. Our result generalizes the theorems of Assad [Tamkang J. Math. 7: 91–94, 1976] and Chatterjea [C.R. Acad., Bulgare Sci. 25: 727–730, 1972].

ABSTRACT. We prove a number of results concerning the existence of common fixed points of a family of maps satisfying certain contractive conditions in metric and Banach spaces. Results dealing with the stucture of the set of common fixed points of such maps are also given. Our work is an improvement upon the previously known results.

In the present paper, we refine the notion of the partial modular metric defined by Hosseinzadeh and Parvaneh to eliminate the occurrence of discrepancies in the non-zero self-distance and triangular inequality. In support of this, we discuss non-trivial examples. Finally, we prove a common fixed-point theorem for four self-mappings in partial modular metric space and an application to our result; the existence of a solution for a system of Volterra integral equations is discussed.

In this paper, we establish the existence of fixed points of rational type contractions in the setting of extended b-metric spaces. Our results extend considerably several well-known results in the existing literature. We present some nontrivial examples to show the validity of our results. Furthermore, as applications, we obtain the existence of solution to a class of Fredholm integral equations.
