Abstract

In our present research study, we present the idea of dislocated-multiplicative metric space (abbrev. -multiplicative metric space) that is generalization of -multiplicative metric space and dislocated-multiplicative metric space. Furthermore, we prove some of the fixed point theorems in -multiplicative metric spaces. Also, we get common fixed point findings for fuzzy mappings in these spaces. Our findings are improved and more generalized form of several findings (see, e.g., [5, 6]).

1. Introduction

In 2008, the idea of multiplicative calculus was defined by Bashirov et al. [1] and then the conception of multiplicative metric spaces (multiplicative distance) was introduced by Çevikel and Özava̧sar [2]. Czerwik [3] presented concepts of -metric space that is the popularization of metric space. Dosenovic et al. in section Future Work in [4] presented the idea of -multiplicative metric spaces. After that, Ali et al. in [5] studied fixed point theorems for single-valued and multivalued mappings on -multiplicative metric spaces.

Furthermore, several authors obtained some fixed point findings for mappings satisfying different contractive conditions (see, e.g., [68]). The idea of fuzzy mappings was initially studied by Weiss [9] and Butnariu [10]. Then, the concept of fuzzy mappings was studied by Heilpern [11]. Many of the fixed point theorems for fuzzy contraction mappings in the metric linear space were proved (e.g., [1215]), which are the fuzzy extension for the Banach contraction principle. The concept of -multiplicative metric spaces, as one of the useful generalizations of multiplicative metric spaces, was first used by Dosenovic et al. in [4],and Ali et al. in [5] study fixed point theorems for single-valued and multivalued mappings on -multiplicative metric spaces.

Our findings in -multiplicative metric space, -multiplicative metric space, and multiplicative metric space can be obtained as corollaries of our findings.

In this part, we list some of the concepts which we will use in our major findings.

The definition of -multiplicative metric space is given as follows.

Definition 1 (see [4, 5]). Suppose that is a nonempty set and is a given real number. A function is considered as a -multiplicative metric if it satisfies the following conditions: ,(i)(ii) iff (iii)(iv)

Example 1 (see [5]). Let . Define a function , , where is any fixed real number. Then, is a -multiplicative metric with .

In [11, 16], an element in any fuzzy set has a degree of belonging, a membership function may be used in order to introduce the value of degree of belonging for any element to a set, and the value of degree of belonging takes real values on the whole closed interval . The membership function is

Suppose is a metric linear space. In , a fuzzy set is a function . Thus, it is an element of , where . If is a fuzzy set and , then the function value is considered as the grade of membership of in .

denotes to the collection of all fuzzy sets in . The -level set of is defined bywhenever is the closure of set (nonfuzzy) .

Definition 2 (see [17]). A fuzzy set in is an approximate quantity if its -level set is a nonempty compact subset (nonfuzzy) of for each .
The set of all an approximate quantities denoted by is a subcollection of .

Ozavsar and Cevikel [2] prove that every multiplicative contraction in a complete multiplicative metric space has a unique fixed point.

Definition 3 (see [2]). Assume that is a multiplicative metric space. A mapping is called multiplicative contraction if

Theorem 1 (see [2]). Assume that is a multiplicative metric space. A mapping is called multiplicative contraction. Then, has a unique fixed point.

Theorem 2 (see [4]). Suppose that is a complete multiplicative metric space and a continuous function , such that

Then, has a unique fixed point.

In 2015, Kang et al. [18] introduced the concept of compatible mappings as follows.

Definition 4. Let be a multiplicative metric space. The mappings ; then, is called compatible if and only if for some in implying .

Many authors studied many fixed point theorems for compatible mappings in multiplicative metric space and employed it to prove a common fixed point theorem (see [4, 18]).

In this paper, we introduce the new notion of -multiplicative metric space. We prove fixed point theorems for single mappings and a common fixed point for fuzzy mappings in -multiplicative metric space. As illustrative application, we state some of our theorems on Cartesian product in these spaces.

2. Fixed Point Theorems in -Multiplicative Metric Spaces

In this part, we present the conception of -multiplicative metric space. Also, we introduce some of the fixed point theories and show our main findings with the help of some examples in this space.
