Abstract

In this paper, we introduce and study some properties of a new class of generalized monotone nonexpansive mappings in hyperbolic metric spaces. Further, we give some results on the convergence of the Mann iterative process for this class of mappings in hyperbolic ordered metric spaces with some interesting examples.

1. Introduction

Nonexpansive mappings appear in many nonlinear problems modeled by integral equations arising from different scientific fields as mechanics, electricity, and population dynamics. Recall that a nonexpansive mapping is 1-Lipschitzien mapping.

The study of the existence of fixed points for nonexpansive mappings was initiated by Browder [1, 2], Gôhde [3], and Kirk [4]. In the last few years, a number of extensions and generalizations of nonexpansive mappings in different spaces were obtained by many mathematicians. In 2008, Suzuki [5] introduced a generalized definition of nonexpansive mappings, named condition or Suzuki generalize nonexpansive mapping, as follows:

Definition 1. Let be a subset of a Banach space . A mapping is said to satisfy condition if for all ,

He proved also some existence and convergence results for such type of mappings. Patir et al. [6] defined the following general class of nonexpansive-type mappings, and they presented some fixed point results for this class of operators.

Definition 2. Let be a nonempty subset of a Banach space . Let and such that . A mapping is said to satisfy the condition on if for all

Otherwise, the structure of spaces plays an important role in the study of the existence of fixed points. It is well known in the literature that Banach spaces have been studied extensively, because Banach spaces always have convex structures. However, metric spaces do not naturally benefit from this structure. Therefore, there is a need to introduce and define convex structures.

The study of fixed point theory for nonexpansive mappings in the framework of hyperbolic metric spaces was initiated by Takahashi [7]. He formulated some fixed point results in convex metric spaces. Goebel and Kirk [8] used hyperbolic-type spaces, which contain hyperbolic metric spaces (see also [9]).

Reich and Shafrir [10] introduced hyperbolic metric spaces as an appropriate background to study the existence and the approximation of fixed points for nonexpansive mappings. Accommodating previous definitions of hyperbolic metric spaces, Kohlenbach [11] introduced a more general definition of hyperbolic metric spaces and he proved the existence of fixed points for nonexpansive mappings. This class of spaces includes all normed linear spaces and Busemann spaces [12]. Leustean [13] showed that CAT(0) spaces are uniformly convex hyperbolic metric spaces. In 2016, Bin Dehaish and Khamsi [14] gave an analogue theorem to Browder and Göhde’s fixed point theorem for monotone nonexpansive mappings in uniformly convex hyperbolic metric spaces. Recently, Shukla et al. [15] present some existence and convergence results for a monotone mapping satisfying condition in partially ordered hyperbolic metric spaces.

Motivated by all these facts, we introduce in this paper a general class of nonexpansive-type mappings. We prove some fixed point existence results in uniformly convex hyperbolic metric spaces. Further, we study the approximation of fixed points for such type of mapping using the Mann iterative process defined in hyperbolic metric spaces with some illustrative examples. The results obtained in this work extend and generalize corresponding results on uniformly convex Banach spaces and CAT(0) spaces and many other results in this direction.

2. Preliminaries

Let be a metric space. A path joining to is a map from a closed interval to such that , , and for all . In particular, is an isometry and . The image of is called a metric segment joining and . When it is unique, the metric segment is denoted by . We shall denote by the unique point of which satisfies

Such metric spaces are usually called convex metric spaces (see Takahashi [7])

Let us recall the following definition which is due to Kohlenbach [11].

Definition 3 (see [11]). A triplet is said to be a hyperbolic metric space if is a metric space and is a function such that for all and , the following hold:(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)

The set is called the metric segment with endpoints and . Now onwards, we write . A subset of is said to be convex if for all and .

When there is no ambiguity, we write for .

Let be a partially ordered set with a partial order “”, and let be a partially ordered hyperbolic metric space. We say that are comparable whenever or . Throughout, we will assume that order intervals are closed convex subsets of hyperbolic metric space . We denote these intervals as follows:for any .

3. Main Results

Before we give the existence and convergence theorems, we present a class of monotone nonexpansive mappings and some auxiliary results.

Clearly, this class includes the class of monotone nonexpansive mappings (for ).

Example 1. Let be equipped with the usual ordering and the distance . Let and be a mapping defined by(1) is not a monotone nonexpansive mapping(2) is monotone and satisfies condition Setting and , we obtainHowever, is not a nonexpansive mapping. Now, we show that is monotone and satisfies condition with and . In fact, we have the following three cases:(i)Let such that , and we have(ii)Let such that , and we have(iii)Let and , and we haveOtherwise, we havesince . From (19) and (20), we haveSince , then

Note that there is no relationship between the condition and the class of mapping satisfying the condition , which contradicts with the statement of Patir et al. in the paper [6]. To justify this, we give the following example.

Example 2. Define the mapping byThe monotone mapping satisfies the condition (for details, see [5]) but does not satisfy the condition for . In fact, for and , we haveTherefore, the condition is not satisfied.

The Mann [20] iterative scheme has been used to study the approximation of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings by many authors [2126]. Following the same line, we define the Mann process in the framework of hyperbolic metric spaces in order to prove its convergence to fixed points for monotone mapping satisfying condition .

In the sequel, we will use the fixed point set with the partial orders given by
