Abstract

For a tvs-G-cone metric space (𝑋,𝐺) and for the family 𝒜 of subsets of X, we introduce a new notion of the tvs--cone metric with respect to G, and we get a fixed result for the 𝒞𝒲-tvs-G-cone-type function in a complete tvs-G-cone metric space (𝒜,). Our results generalize some recent results in the literature.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries

In 2007, Huang and Zhang [1] introduced the concept of cone metric space by replacing the set of real numbers by an ordered Banach space, and they showed some fixed point theorems of contractive-type mappings on cone metric spaces. The category of cone metric spaces is larger than metric spaces. Subsequently, many authors studied this subject and many results on fixed point theory are proved (see, e.g., [215]). Recently, Du [16] introduced the concept of 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric and 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric space to improve and extend the concept of cone metric space in the sense of Huang and Zhang [1]. Later, in the papers [1621], the authors tried to generalize this approach by using cones in topological vector spaces 𝑡𝑣𝑠 instead of Banach spaces. However, it should be noted that an old result shows that if the underlying cone of an ordered tvs is solid and normal, then such tvs must be an ordered normed space. Thus, proper generalizations when passing from norm-valued cone metric spaces to 𝑡𝑣𝑠-valued cone metric spaces can be obtained only in the case of nonnormal cones (for details, see [19]). Further, Radenović et al. [22] introduced the concept of set-valued contraction of Nadler type in the setting of 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone spaces and proved a fixed point theorem in the setting of tvs-cone spaces with respect to a solid cone.

Definition 1.1 (see [22]). Let (𝑋,𝑑) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric space with a solid cone 𝑃, and let 𝒜 be a collection of nonempty subsets of 𝑋. A map 𝒜×𝒜𝐸 is called a 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric with respect to 𝑑 if for any 𝐴1,𝐴2𝒜 the following conditions hold:(H1)(𝐴1,𝐴2)=𝜃𝐴1=𝐴2,(H2)(𝐴1,𝐴2)=(𝐴2,𝐴1),(H3)𝜀𝐸,𝜃𝜀𝑥𝐴1𝑦𝐴2𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)(𝐴1,𝐴2)+𝜀,(H4) one of the following is satisfied:(i)𝜀𝐸,𝜃𝜀𝑥𝐴1𝑦𝐴2(𝐴1,𝐴2)𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)+𝜀,(ii)𝜀𝐸,𝜃𝜀𝑦𝐴2𝑥𝐴1(𝐴1,𝐴2)𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)+𝜀.

Theorem 1.2 (see [22]). Let (𝑋,𝑑) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone complete metric space with a solid cone 𝑃 and let 𝒜 be a collection of nonempty closed subsets of 𝑋, 𝒜𝜙, and let 𝒜×𝒜𝐸 be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric with respect to 𝑑. If the mapping 𝑇𝑋𝒜 the condition that exists a 𝜆(0,1) such that for all 𝑥,𝑦𝑋 holds (𝑇𝑥,𝑇𝑦)𝜆𝐺(𝑥,𝑦)(1.1) then 𝑇 has a fixed point in 𝑋.

We recall some definitions and results of the 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric spaces that introduced in [19, 23], which will be needed in the sequel.

Let 𝐸 be be a real Hausdorff topological vector space (𝑡𝑣𝑠 for short) with the zero vector 𝜃. A nonempty subset 𝑃 of 𝐸 is called a convex cone if 𝑃+𝑃𝑃 and 𝜆𝑃𝑃 for 𝜆0. A convex cone 𝑃 is said to be pointed (or proper) if 𝑃(𝑃)={𝜃}; 𝑃 is normal (or saturated) if 𝐸 has a base of neighborhoods of zero consisting of order-convex subsets. For a given cone 𝑃𝐸, we can define a partial ordering with respect to 𝑃 by 𝑥𝑦 if and only if 𝑦𝑥𝑃; 𝑥𝑦 will stand for 𝑥𝑦 and 𝑥𝑦, while 𝑥𝑦 will stand for 𝑦𝑥int𝑃, where int𝑃 denotes the interior of 𝑃. The cone 𝑃 is said to be solid if it has a nonempty interior.

In the sequel, 𝐸 will be a locally convex Hausdorff 𝑡𝑣𝑠 with its zero vector 𝜃, 𝑃 a proper, closed, and convex pointed cone in 𝐸 with int𝑃𝜙 and a partial ordering with respect to 𝑃.

Definition 1.3 (see [16, 18, 19]). Let 𝑋 be a nonempty set and (𝐸,𝑃) an ordered 𝑡𝑣𝑠. A vector-valued function 𝑑𝑋×𝑋𝐸 is said to be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric, if the following conditions hold:(C1)𝑥,𝑦𝑋,𝑥𝑦𝜃𝑑(𝑥,𝑦),(C2)𝑥,𝑦𝑋𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=𝜃𝑥=𝑦,(C3)𝑥,𝑦𝑋𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)=𝑑(𝑦,𝑥),(C4)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋𝑑(𝑥,𝑧)𝑑(𝑥,𝑦)+𝑑(𝑦,𝑧). Then the pair (𝑋,𝑑) is called a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric space.

Definition 1.4 (see [16, 18, 19]). Let (𝑋,𝑑) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric space, 𝑥𝑋, and {𝑥𝑛} a sequence in 𝑋.(1){𝑥𝑛}𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone converges to 𝑥 whenever for every 𝑐𝐸 with 𝜃𝑐, there exists 𝑛0 such that 𝑑(𝑥𝑛,𝑥)𝑐 for all 𝑛𝑛0. We denote this by cone-lim𝑛𝑥𝑛=𝑥;(2){𝑥𝑛} is a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone Cauchy sequence whenever for every 𝑐𝐸 with 𝜃𝑐, there exists 𝑛0 such that 𝑑(𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑚)𝑐 for all 𝑛,𝑚𝑛0;(3)(𝑋,𝑑) is 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone complete if every 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone Cauchy sequence in 𝑋 is 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone convergent in 𝑋.

Remark 1.5. Clearly, a cone metric space in the sense of Huang and Zhang [1] is a special case of 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric spaces when (𝑋,𝑑) is a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric space with respect to a normal cone 𝑃.

Remark 1.6 (see [19, 22, 23]). Let (𝑋,𝑑) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metric space with a solid cone 𝑃. The following properties are often used, particularly in the case when the underlying cone is nonnormal.(p1) If 𝑢𝑣 and 𝑣𝑤, then 𝑢𝑤,(p2) If 𝑢𝑣 and 𝑣𝑤, then 𝑢𝑤,(p3) If 𝑢𝑣 and 𝑣𝑤, then 𝑢𝑤,(p4) If 𝜃𝑢𝑐 for each 𝑐int𝑃, then 𝑢=𝜃,(p5) If 𝑎𝑏+𝑐 for each 𝑐int𝑃, then 𝑎𝑏,(p6) If 𝐸 is 𝑡𝑣𝑠 with a cone 𝑃, and if 𝑎𝜆𝑎 where 𝑎𝑃 and 𝜆[0,1), then 𝑎=𝜃,(p7) If 𝑐int𝑃, 𝑎𝑛𝐸, and 𝑎𝑛𝜃 in locally convex 𝑡𝑣𝑠𝐸, then there exists 𝑛0 such that 𝑎𝑛𝑐 for all 𝑛>𝑛0.

Metric spaces are playing an important role in mathematics and the applied sciences. To overcome fundamental laws in Dhage’s theory of generalized metric spaces [24]. In 2003, Mustafa and Sims [25] introduced a more appropriate and robust notion of a generalized metric space as follows.

Definition 1.7 (see [25]). Let 𝑋 be a nonempty set, and let 𝐺𝑋×𝑋×𝑋[0,) be a function satisfying the following axioms:(G1)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)=0𝑥=𝑦=𝑧,(G2)𝑥,𝑦𝑋,𝑥𝑦𝐺(𝑥,𝑥,𝑦)>0,(G3)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)𝐺(𝑥,𝑥,𝑦),(G4)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)=𝐺(𝑥,𝑧,𝑦)=𝐺(𝑧,𝑦,𝑥)= (symmetric in all three variables),(G5)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧,𝑤𝑋𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)𝐺(𝑥,𝑤,𝑤)+𝐺(𝑤,𝑦,𝑧). Then the function 𝐺 is called a generalized metric, or, more specifically a 𝐺-metric on 𝑋, and the pair (𝑋,𝐺) is called a 𝐺-metric space.

By using the notions of generalized metrics and 𝑡𝑣𝑠-cone metrics, we introduce the below notion of 𝑡𝑣𝑠-generalized-cone metrics.

Definition 1.8. Let 𝑋 be a nonempty set and (𝐸,𝑃) an ordered 𝑡𝑣𝑠, and let 𝐺𝑋×𝑋×𝑋𝐸 be a function satisfying the following axioms:(G1)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)=𝜃 if and only if 𝑥=𝑦=𝑧,(G2)𝑥,𝑦𝑋,𝑥𝑦𝜃𝐺(𝑥,𝑥,𝑦),(G3)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋𝐺(𝑥,𝑥,𝑦)𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧),(G4)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)=𝐺(𝑥,𝑧,𝑦)=𝐺(𝑧,𝑦,𝑥)= (symmetric in all three variables),(G5)𝑥,𝑦,𝑧,𝑤𝑋𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)𝐺(𝑥,𝑤,𝑤)+𝐺(𝑤,𝑦,𝑧). Then the function 𝐺 is called a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-generalized-cone metric, or, more specifically, a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric on 𝑋, and the pair (𝑋,𝐺) is called a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric space.

Definition 1.9. Let (𝑋,𝐺) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric space, 𝑥𝑋, and {𝑥𝑛} a sequence in 𝑋.(1){𝑥𝑛}𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone converges to 𝑥 whenever, for every 𝑐𝐸 with 𝜃𝑐, there exists 𝑛0 such that 𝐺(𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑚,𝑥)𝑐 for all 𝑚,𝑛𝑛0. Here 𝑥 is called the limit of the sequence {𝑥𝑛} and is denoted by 𝐺-cone-lim𝑛𝑥𝑛=𝑥;(2){𝑥𝑛} is a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone Cauchy sequence whenever, for every 𝑐𝐸 with 𝜃𝑐, there exists 𝑛0 such that 𝐺(𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑚,𝑥𝑙)𝑐 for all 𝑛,𝑚,𝑙𝑛0;(3)(𝑋,𝐺) is 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone complete if every 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone Cauchy sequence in 𝑋 is 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone convergent in 𝑋.

Proposition 1.10. Let (𝑋,𝐺) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric space, 𝑥𝑋, and {𝑥𝑛} a sequence in 𝑋. The following are equivalent:(i){𝑥𝑛}𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone converges to 𝑥,(ii)𝐺(𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑛,𝑥)𝜃 as 𝑛,(iii)𝐺(𝑥𝑛,𝑥,𝑥) as n,(iv)𝐺(𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑚,𝑥)𝜃 as 𝑛,𝑚.

In this paper, we also introduce the below concept of the 𝒞𝒲-𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone-type function.

Definition 1.11. One calls𝜑int𝑃{𝜃}int𝑃{𝜃} a 𝒞𝒲-𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone-type function if the function 𝜑 satisfies the following condition(𝜑1)𝜑(𝑡)𝑡 for all 𝑡𝜃 and 𝜑(𝜃)=𝜃;(𝜑2)lim𝑛𝜑𝑛(𝑡)=𝜃 for all 𝑡int𝑃{𝜃}.
In this paeper, for a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric space (𝑋,𝐺) and for the family 𝒜 of subsets of 𝑋, we introduce a new notion of the 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric with respect to 𝐺, and we get a fixed result for the 𝒞𝒲-𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone-type function in a complete 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric space (𝒜,). Our results generalize some recent results in the literature.

2. Main Results

Let 𝐸 be a locally convex Hausdorff 𝑡𝑣𝑠 with its zero vector 𝜃, 𝑃 a proper, closed and convex pointed cone in 𝐸 with int𝑃𝜙, and a partial ordering with respect to 𝑃. We introduce the below notion of the 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric with respect to 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric 𝐺.

Definition 2.1. Let (𝑋,𝐺) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric space with a solid cone 𝑃, and let 𝒜 be a collection of nonempty subsets of 𝑋. A map 𝒜×𝒜×𝒜𝐸 is called a 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric with respect to 𝐺 if for any 𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3𝒜 the following conditions hold:(H1)(𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)=𝜃𝐴1=𝐴2=𝐴3,(H2)(𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)=(𝐴2,𝐴1,𝐴3)=(𝐴1,𝐴3,𝐴2)=(symmetry in all variables),(H3)(𝐴1,𝐴1,𝐴2)(𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3),(H4)𝜀𝐸,𝜃𝜀𝑥𝐴1,𝑦𝐴2𝑧𝐴3𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)(𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)+𝜀,(H5) one of the following is satisfied:(i)𝜀𝐸,𝜃𝜀𝑥𝐴1𝑦𝐴2,𝑧𝐴3(𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)+𝜀,(ii)𝜀𝐸,𝜃𝜀𝑦𝐴2𝑥𝐴1,𝑧𝐴3(𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)+𝜀,(iii)𝜀𝐸,𝜃𝜀𝑧𝐴3𝑦𝐴2,𝑥𝐴1(𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)+𝜀.

We will prove that a 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric satisfies the conditions of (𝐺1)-(𝐺5).

Lemma 2.2. Let (𝑋,𝐺) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric space with a solid cone 𝑃, and let 𝒜 be a collection of nonempty subsets of 𝑋, 𝒜𝜙. If 𝒜×𝒜×𝒜𝐸 is a 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric with respect to 𝐺, then pair (𝒜,) is a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone metric space.

Proof. Let {𝜀𝑛}𝐸 be a sequence such that 𝜃𝜀𝑛 for all 𝑛 and 𝐺-𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑒-lim𝑛𝜀𝑛=𝜃. Take any 𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3𝒜 and 𝑥𝐴1, 𝑦𝐴2. From (H4), for each 𝑛, there exists 𝑧𝑛𝐴3 such that 𝐺𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑛𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3+𝜀𝑛.(2.1) Therefore, (𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)+𝜀𝑛𝑃 for each 𝑛. By the closedness of 𝑃, we conclude that 𝜃(𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3).
Assume that 𝐴1=𝐴2=𝐴3. From H5, we obtain (𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)𝜀𝑛 for any 𝑛. So (𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)=𝜃.
Let 𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3,𝐴4𝒜. Assume that 𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3 satisfy condition (H5)(i). Then, for each 𝑛, there exists 𝑥𝑛𝐴1 such that (𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3)𝐺(𝑥𝑛,𝑦,𝑧)+𝜀𝑛 for all 𝑦𝐴2 and 𝑧𝐴3. From (H4), there exists a sequence {𝑤𝑛}𝐴4 satisfying 𝐺(𝑥𝑛,𝑤𝑛,𝑤𝑛)(𝐴1,𝐴4,𝐴4)+𝜀𝑛 for every 𝑛. Obviously, for any 𝑦𝐴2 and any 𝑧𝐴3 and 𝑛, we have 𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3𝑥𝐺𝑛,𝑦,𝑧+𝜀𝑛𝑥𝐺𝑛,𝑤n,𝑤𝑛𝑤+𝐺𝑛,𝑦,𝑧+𝜀𝑛.(2.2) Now for each 𝑛, there exists 𝑦𝑛𝐴2, 𝑧𝑛𝐴3 such that 𝐺(𝑤𝑛,𝑦𝑛,𝑧𝑛)(𝐴4,𝐴2,𝐴3)+𝜀𝑛. Consequently, we obtain that for each 𝑛𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3𝐴1,𝐴4,𝐴4𝐴+4,𝐴2,𝐴3+3𝜀𝑛.(2.3) Therefore, 𝐴1,𝐴2,𝐴3𝐴1,𝐴4,𝐴4𝐴+4,𝐴2,𝐴3.(2.4) In the case when (H5)(ii) or (H5)(iii) holds, we use the analogous method.

In the sequel, we denote by Θ the class of functions 𝜑int𝑃{𝜃}int𝑃{𝜃} satisfying the following conditions:(C1)𝜑 is a 𝒞𝒲-𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone-type-function;(C2)𝜑 is subadditive, that is, 𝜑(𝑢1+𝑢2)𝜑(𝑢1)+𝜑(𝑢2) for all 𝑢1,𝑢2int𝑃.

Our main result is the following.

Theorem 2.3. Let (𝑋,𝐺) be a 𝑡v𝑠-𝐺-cone complete metric space with a solid cone 𝑃, let 𝒜 be a collection of nonempty closed subsets of 𝑋, 𝒜𝜙, and let 𝒜×𝒜×𝒜𝐸 be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric with respect to 𝐺. If the mapping 𝑇𝑋𝒜 satisfies the condition that exists a 𝜑Θ such that for all 𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋 holds (𝑇𝑥,𝑇𝑦,𝑇𝑧)𝜑(𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧)),(2.5) then 𝑇 has a fixed point in 𝑋.

Proof. Let us choose 𝜀int𝑃 arbitrarily, and let 𝜀𝑛𝐸 be a sequence such that 𝜃𝜀𝑛 and 𝜀𝑛𝜀/3𝑛. Let us choose 𝑥0𝑋 arbitrarily and 𝑥1𝑇𝑥0. If 𝐺(𝑥0,𝑥0,𝑥1)=𝜃, then 𝑥0=𝑥1𝑇(𝑥0), and we are done. Assume that 𝐺(𝑥0,𝑥0,𝑥1)𝜃. Taking into account (2.5) and (H4), there exists 𝑥2𝑇𝑥1 such that 𝐺𝑥1,𝑥1,𝑥2𝑇𝑥0,𝑇𝑥0,𝑇𝑥1+𝜀1𝐺𝑥𝜑0,𝑥0,𝑥1+𝜀1.(2.6) Taking into account (2.5), (2.6), and (H4) and since 𝜑Θ, there exists 𝑥3𝑇𝑥2 such that 𝐺𝑥2,𝑥2,𝑥3𝑇𝑥1,𝑇𝑥1,𝑇𝑥2+𝜀2𝐺𝑥𝜑1,𝑥1,𝑥2+𝜀2𝜑𝐺𝑥𝜑0,𝑥0,𝑥1+𝜀1+𝜀2𝜑𝐺𝑥𝜑0,𝑥0,𝑥1𝜀+𝜑1+𝜀2𝜑2𝐺𝑥0,𝑥0,𝑥1+𝜀1+𝜀2𝜑2𝐺𝑥0,𝑥0,𝑥1+𝜀3+𝜀32.(2.7) We continue in this manner. In general, for 𝑥𝑛, 𝑛, 𝑥𝑛+1 is chosen such that 𝑥𝑛+1𝑇𝑥𝑛 and 𝐺𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑛+1𝑇𝑥𝑛1,𝑇𝑥𝑛1,𝑇𝑥𝑛+𝜀𝑛𝐺𝑥𝜑𝑛1,𝑥𝑛1,𝑥𝑛+𝜀𝑛𝜑2𝐺𝑥𝑛2,𝑥𝑛2,𝑥𝑛1+𝜀𝑛1+𝜀𝑛𝜑𝑛𝐺𝑥0,𝑥0,𝑥1+𝑛𝑖=1𝜀𝑖𝜑𝑛𝐺𝑥0,𝑥0,𝑥1+𝑛𝑖=1𝜀3𝑖𝜑𝑛𝐺𝑥0,𝑥0,𝑥1+12𝜀.(2.8) Since 𝜀 is arbitrary, letting 𝜀𝜃 and by the definition of the 𝒞𝒲-𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone-type function, we obtain that lim𝑛𝐺𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑛,𝑥𝑛+1=𝜃.(2.9)
Next, we let 𝑐𝑚=𝐺(𝑥𝑚,𝑥𝑚+1,𝑥𝑚+1), and we claim that the following result holds: for each 𝛾𝜃,  there is 𝑛0(𝜀)𝑁 such that for all m, 𝑛𝑛0(𝛾), 𝐺𝑥𝑚,𝑥𝑚+1,𝑥𝑚+1𝛾,(2.10) We will prove (2.10) by contradiction. Suppose that (2.10) is false. Then there exists some 𝛾𝜃 such that for all 𝑝, there are 𝑚𝑝,𝑛𝑝 with 𝑚𝑝>𝑛𝑝𝑝 satisfying(i)𝑚𝑝 is even and 𝑛𝑝 is odd,(ii)𝐺(𝑥𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝)𝛾, and(iii)𝑚𝑝 is the smallest even number such that conditions (i), (ii) hold.Since 𝑐𝑚𝜃, by (ii), we have that lim𝑝𝐺(𝑥𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝)=𝛾 and 𝑥𝛾𝐺𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝𝑥𝐺𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1𝑥+𝐺𝑚𝑝+1,𝑥𝑛𝑝+1,𝑥𝑛𝑝+1𝑥+𝐺𝑛𝑝+1,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝.(2.11) It follows from (H4); let us choose 𝜀𝐸 arbitrarily such that 𝐺𝑥𝑛𝑝+1,𝑥𝑛𝑝+1,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1𝑇𝑥𝑛𝑝+1,𝑇𝑥𝑛𝑝+1,𝑇𝑥𝑚𝑝+1+𝜀.(2.12) Taking into account (2.5), (2.11), and (2.12), we have that 𝑥𝛾𝐺𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝𝑥𝐺𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1+𝑇𝑥𝑛𝑝+1,𝑇𝑥𝑛𝑝+1,𝑇𝑥𝑚𝑝+1𝑥+𝜀+𝐺𝑛𝑝+1,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝𝑥𝐺𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1𝐺𝑥+𝜑𝑛𝑝,𝐺𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝐺𝑥𝑚𝑝𝑥+𝜀+𝐺𝑛𝑝+1,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝𝑥𝐺𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1,𝑥𝑚𝑝+1𝑥+𝐺𝑛𝑝,𝐺𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝐺𝑥𝑚𝑝𝑥+𝜀+𝐺𝑛𝑝+1,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝.(2.13) Since 𝜀 is arbitrarily, letting 𝜀𝜃 and by letting 𝑝, we have 𝛾𝜃+lim𝑝𝐺𝑥𝑚𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝,𝑥𝑛𝑝+𝜃+𝜃=𝛾,(2.14) a contradiction. So {𝑥𝑛} is a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone Cauchy sequence. Since (𝑋,𝐺)is a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone complete metric space, {𝑥𝑛} is 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone convergent in 𝑋 and 𝐺-cone-lim𝑛𝑥𝑛=𝑥. Thus, for every 𝜏int𝑃 and sufficiently large 𝑛, we have that 𝑇𝑥𝑛,𝑇𝑥𝑛𝐺𝑥,𝑇𝑥𝜑𝑛,𝑥𝑛𝑥,𝑥𝐺𝑛,𝑥𝑛𝜏,𝑥3.(2.15) Since for 𝑛{0}, 𝑥𝑛+1𝑇𝑥𝑛, by (H4) we obtain that for all 𝑛 there exists𝑦𝑛𝑇𝑥 such that 𝐺𝑥𝑛+1,𝑥𝑛+1,𝑦𝑛+1𝑇𝑥𝑛,𝑇𝑥𝑛,𝑇𝑥+𝜀𝑛+1𝐺𝑥𝜑𝑛,𝑥𝑛+𝜀,𝑥3𝑛+1𝑥𝐺𝑛,𝑥𝑛+𝜀,𝑥3𝑛+1.(2.16) Since 𝜀/3𝑛+1𝜃, then for sufficiently large 𝑛, we obtain that 𝐺𝑦𝑛+1𝑦,𝑥,𝑥𝐺𝑛+1,𝑥𝑛+1,𝑥𝑛+1𝑥+𝐺𝑛+1,𝑥,𝑥2𝜏3+𝜏3=𝜏,(2.17) which implies 𝐺-cone-lim𝑛𝑦𝑛=𝑥. Since 𝑇𝑥 is closed, we obtain that 𝑥𝑇𝑥.

For the case 𝜑(𝑡)=𝑘𝑡, 𝑘(0,1), then 𝜑Θ and it is easy to get the following corollary.

Corollary 2.4. Let (𝑋,𝐺) be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠-𝐺-cone complete metric space with a solid cone 𝑃, let 𝒜 be a collection of nonempty closed subsets of 𝑋, 𝒜𝜙, and let 𝒜×𝒜×𝒜𝐸 be a 𝑡𝑣𝑠--cone metric with respect to 𝐺. If the mapping 𝑇𝑋𝒜 satisfies the condition that exists 𝑘(0,1) such that for all 𝑥,𝑦,𝑧𝑋 holds (𝑇𝑥,𝑇𝑦,𝑇𝑧)𝑘𝐺(𝑥,𝑦,𝑧),(2.18) then 𝑇 has a fixed point in 𝑋.

Remark 2.5. Following Corollary 2.4, it is easy to get Theorem 1.2. So our results generalize some recent results in the literature (e.g., [22]).
