Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present another family of fractional symmetric --contractions and build up some new results for such contraction in the context of -metric space. The author derives some results for Suzuki-type contractions and orbitally -complete and orbitally continuous mappings in -metric spaces. The inspiration of this paper is to observe the solution of fractional-order differential equation with one of the boundary conditions using fixed-point technique in -metric space.

1. Preliminaries and Scope

Fixed-point theory has been promoted by a few particular works in the most recent decades [13]. One of the intriguing methodologies was presented in Karapinar et al.’s work [4] which starts a thought of interpolative kind of contractions and sest up shiny new fixed-point results in partial metric space. Recently, Jleli and Samet [5] introduced a new generalization of metric space and named it as -metric space.

Definition 1. (see [5]). Let be the set function that meets the following conditions: is nondecreasing; that is, for all , it implies . For each iteration , we haveThe generalized notion of metric space is as follows.

Definition 2. (see [5]). Let with be a given mapping. Suppose that there exists such that , . for all . Each , , , and for each with , we haveThen, it is said that is an -metric on .
Here, the pair is called an -metric space and it is abbreviated as -MS. A sequence in is -Cauchy, if . Furthermore, is -complete, if every -Cauchy sequence is -convergent in .
The following example is stated in [5].

Example 1. (see [5]). The set of natural numbers is an -MS if we define byfor all , , and . Moreover, does not form a metric but it is an -MS.
Jleli and Samet proposed a simple Banach fixed-point theorem as follows.

Theorem 1. (see [5]). Let be an -MS. Let be a self-mapping. Suppose that the following conditions are met:(i) is -complete.(ii) a constant such thatThen, attains a unique fixed-point .
In 2012, Samet et al. introduced a class of -admissible mappings as follows.

Definition 3. (see [6]). Let and . is said to be -admissible if , and implies that .
Next, Salimi et al. [7] modified the concept of -admissible mapping as follows.

Definition 4. (see [7]). Let and be two functions. is called an -admissible mapping with respect to , if , and implies that .
If , then the above definition reduces to Definition 3. If , then is called an -subadmissible mapping.

Definition 5. (see [8]). Consider a metric space and assume that and are two functions. A mapping is considered as --continuous mapping in whenever is given, and the sequence is as follows:For more details, see, for example, [9, 10].
A mapping is called orbitally continuous in if implies that . mapping is orbitally continuous on if is orbitally continuous .

2. Fractional Symmetric --Contraction of Type-I

In this segment, first we present a new fractional symmetric --contraction of type-I.

Definition 6. Let be an -metric space and two functions. We consider that is a fractional symmetric --contraction of type-I along with constants and such that, whenever , we havewherewhere , for all .

Example 2. Let with grace of -metric defined byand consider and . Define byand byIf , clearly such thatBy taking any value of constants and , clearly, (6) holds for all , . Point out that has two fixed points, which are 0 and 1.
Now, we initiate brand new fixed-point theorems for fractional symmetric --contraction of type-I in the configuration of -complete -MS.

Theorem 2. Let be a complete -metric space and is a fractional symmetric --contraction of type-I satisfying the following statements:(i) is an -admissible mapping concerning (ii)There exists to such an extent that (iii) is --continuousAt that point, possesses a fixed point at .

So, we assume that accompanied byAs is fractional symmetric --contraction of type-I, a part of , we havewhich implies thatand we deduce thatWe conclude that is a nonincreasing sequence with nonnegative terms. Thus, there is a nonnegative constant such that . Note that .

Meanwhile is an -complete metric space and there exists such that is -convergent to ; that is,and is --continuous as well as , each one of at that point as ; in other words, . Now we are going to prove that is a fixed point of . We argue by contradiction by supposing that . By , we haveBy using () and the contractive condition, we havefor all . In other words, by using () and (25), we getwhich gives a contradiction. Therefore ; hence possesses a fixed point of .

Theorem 3. Let be an -complete -metric space and let be a fractional symmetric --contraction of type-I fulfilling the accompanying affirmations:(i) is an -admissible mapping concerning (ii)There exists a to such extent that (iii)An iteration in is such that escorted by at the same time ; after that holds for each Afterwards, possesses a fixed point in .

Example 3. Let with an -metric byaccompanied by together with . Define along withand by(i)Case I. If , clearly . Hence, every condition of Theorem 2 is satisfied.(ii)Case II. If , clearly is an -admissible mapping with respect to , whenever , such that(iii)By taking constant , and , for all .(iv)Case III. If any , then we haveTherefore, whole constraints of Theorem 2 are satisfied. Hence, is fractional symmetric --contraction of type-I.

Definition 7. Consider an -metric space and two functions. Then an -metric space on is said to be --complete if and only if every -Cauchy sequence , along with-converges in .

Remark 1. Theorems 2 and 3 also hold for --complete -metric space instead of -complete -metric space (for details, see [10]).

7. Application to Fractional-Order Differential Equations

The local and nonlocal fractional differential equations have been recently proved to be significant tools in the modeling of many phenomena in numerous fields of science and building. The fractional-order differential equations have numerous applications in viscoelasticity, electrochemistry, control, porous media, electromagnetism, and so forth. For more details, see [2, 1319]. Our aim is to give the existence and uniqueness of bounded solution of local fractional-order differential equation given in (93). Consider a function . The conformable derivative of order of at is defined by [20]

The conformable fractional integral associated with (91) is defined by [20, 21]

We consider the following boundary value problem of a conformable fractional-order differential equation:

The integral representation of the solution to the boundary value problem (93) iswhere is a Green’s function defined byand denotes the Riemann integrable of with respect to and is a continuous function.

So,

Let , such that , for all . For using (a), we getThus,for all such that for all . We define byThen, for all , , we haveObviously, for all . If for each , then . From (c), we have and so . Thus, is an -admissible map concerning . From (b), there subsist parallel to . By (d), we have that, for any cluster point of a sequence of points in with , . By applying Theorem 2, if has a fixed point in , there exists such that , and is a solution of (93).

8. Conclusion

The aim of this paper is to produce four new classes of type contractions. This research focuses on new idea of fractional symmetric --contractions of type-I, type-II, type-III, and type-IV in the structure of -metric space, which is different from and more general than ordinary metric. This paper will open a new conspiracy of fractional fixed-point theory. We develop here Suzuki-type fixed point results in orbitally complete -metric space.
