Fixed Point Theorems for Manageable Contractions with Application to Integral Equations

الملخص EN

In this paper we utilize the concept of manageable functions to define multivalued α⁎-η⁎ manageable contractions and prove fixed point theorems for such contractions.

As applications we deduce certain fixed point theorems which generalize and improve Nadler’s fixed point theorem, Mizoguchi-Takahashi’s fixed point theorem, and some other well-known results in the literature.

Also, we give an illustrating example showing that our results are a proper generalization of Nadler’s theorem and provide an application to integral equations.
