Banach contraction principle is one of the pivotal results of metric fixed point theory. It is a popular tool for solving existence problems in different fields of mathe- matics. There are several generalizations of Banach contraction principle in the related literature on metric fixed point theory. Ran and Reurings [15] extended Banach contraction principle in partially ordered metric spaces with some applications to linear and nonlinear matrix equations. While Nieto and López [14] extended the result of Ran and Reurings and applied their main result to obtain a unique solution for a first order ordinary differential equation with periodic boundary conditions. Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [3] introduced a concept of mixed monotone mappings and obtained some coupled fixed point results. Also, they applied their results to a first order differential equation with periodic boundary conditions. Alber and Guerre-Delabriere [1] introduced a concept of weakly contractive mappings and proved the existence of fixed point of such mappings in Hilbert spaces. Thereafter, in 2001, Rhoades [17] proved the fixed point theorem which is one of the generalizations of Banach’s contraction principle. Weakly contractive mappings are closely related to the mappings of Boyd and Wong [4] and of Reich types [16]. Recently, Doric [9] proved a common fixed point theorem for a generalized (ψ, φ)-weakly contractive mappings. Fixed point problems involving weak contractions and mappings satisfying weak contractive type inequalities have been studied by many authors (see [1, 5 – 10, 17] and ref- erences cited therein). In this paper, we generalize Chatterjea type contraction mappings to (µ, ψ)- generalized Chatterjea type contraction mappings and derive some common fixed point results for single-valued mappings on ordered metric spaces. First, we recall some basic definitions and notations. Let (X, d) be a metric space. A mapping T : X → X is said to be: (a) Kannan type (see [11]) if there exists a k ∈ ( 0, 1 2 ] such that d(Tx, Ty) ≤ k[d(x, Tx) + + d(y, Ty)] for all x, y ∈ X; (b) Chatterjea type [7] if there exists a k ∈ ( 0, 1 2 ] such that d(Tx, Ty) ≤ k[d(x, Ty)+d(y, Tx)] for all x, y ∈ X. c© S. CHANDOK, M. S. KHAN, M. ABBAS, 2014 ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2014, т. 66, № 4 531 532 S. CHANDOK, M. S. KHAN, M. ABBAS Khan et al. [12] initiated the use of a control function that alters distance between two points in a metric space. So they called it an altering distance function. A function µ : [0,∞)→ [0,∞) is called an altering distance function if the following properties are satisfied: (i) µ is monotone increasing and continuous; (ii) µ(t) = 0 if and only if t = 0. Using the control function, we generalize the Chatterjea type contraction mappings as follows: Suppose that T and f are self-mappings defined on a metric space X. A pair of mappings (T, f) is said to satisfy (µ, ψ)-generalized Chatterjea type contractive condition if for all x, y ∈ X, µ(d(Tx, fy)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(x, fy) + d(y, Tx)] ) − ψ(d(x, fy), d(y, Tx)), (1) holds, where µ : [0,∞)→ [0,∞) is an altering distance function and ψ : [0,∞)2 → [0,∞) is a lower semicontinuous mapping such that ψ(x, y) = 0 if and only if x = y = 0. Let M be a nonempty subset of a metric space X, a point x ∈M is a common fixed (coincidence) point of f and T if x = fx = Tx (fx = Tx). The set of fixed points (respectively, coincidence points) of f and T is denoted by F (f, T ) (respectively, C(f, T )). Definition 1. Let (X,≤) be a partially ordered set. Two mappings f, g : X → X are said to be weakly increasing if fx ≤ gfx and gx ≤ fgx for all x ∈ X. The following example shows that there exist discontinuous not nondecreasing mappings which are weakly increasing. Example 1. Let X = (0,∞), endowed with usual ordering. Let f, g : X → X be defined by fx = 3x+ 2 if 0 < x < 1, 2x+ 1 if 1 ≤ x <∞ and gx = 4x+ 1 if 0 < x < 1, 3x if 1 ≤ x <∞. For 0 < x < 1, fx = 3x+2 ≤ 3(3x+2) = gfx and gx = 4x+1 ≤ 4x+3 = 2(2x+1)+1 = fgx and for 1 ≤ x < ∞, fx = 2x + 1 ≤ 3(2x + 1) = gfx and gx = 3x ≤ 2(3x) + 1 = fgx. Thus f and g are weakly increasing maps but not nondecreasing. Common fixed point theorem in ordered metric spaces. Suppose that (X,�) is a partially ordered set. A mapping T : X → X is said to be monotone increasing if for all x, y ∈ X, x � y if and only if Tx � Ty. (2) A subset W of a partially ordered set X is said to be well ordered if every two elements of W are comparable. Theorem 1. Let (X,�) be a partially ordered set such that there exists a complete metric d on X. Suppose that T and f are weakly increasing self mappings on X, and satisfy (1) for all comparable elements x, y ∈ X. Also suppose that either ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2014, т. 66, № 4 COMMON FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR NONLINEAR WEAKLY CONTRACTIVE MAPPINGS 533 (i) if {xn} ⊂ X is a nondecreasing sequence with xn → z in X, then xn � z, for every n ∈ N, or (ii) T or f is continuous. Then T and f have a common fixed point. Moreover, the set of common fixed points of f and T is well ordered if and only if f and T have one and only one common fixed point. Proof. Let x0 ∈ X. We can choose x1, x2 ∈ X such that x1 = Tx0 and x2 = fx1. By induction, we construct a sequence {xn} in X such that x2n+1 = Tx2n and x2n+2 = fx2n+1, for every n ≥ 0. As T and f are weakly increasing mappings, so we obtain x1 = Tx0 � fx1 = x2 � Tx2 = x3. By induction on n, we conclude that x1 � x2 � . . . � x2n+1 � x2n+2 � . . . . Since x2n+1 and x2n+2 are comparable, by inequality (1) we have µ(d(x2n+1, x2n+2)) = µ(d(Tx2n, fx2n+1)) ≤ ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(x2n, fx2n+1) + d(x2n+1, Tx2n)] ) − ψ(d(x2n, fx2n+1), d(x2n+1, Tx2n)) = = µ ( 1 2 d(x2n, x2n+2) ) − ψ(d(x2n, x2n+2), 0) ≤ ≤ µ ( 1 2 d(x2n, x2n+2) ) . Since µ is a monotone increasing function, for all n = 1, 2, . . . , we get d(x2n+1, x2n+2) ≤ 1 2 d(x2n, x2n+2) ≤ 1 2 [ d(x2n, x2n+1) + d(x2n+1, x2n+2) ] . This implies that d(x2n+1, x2n+2) ≤ d(x2n, x2n+1). Following the similar arguments, we obtain d(x2n+2, x2n+3) ≤ d(x2n+1, x2n+2). Hence, d(xn, xn+1) ≤ d(xn−1, xn). Thus {d(xn, xn+1)} is a monotone decreasing sequence of nonnegative real numbers. Hence there exists r ≥ 0 such that d(xn, xn+1)→ r. As d(x2n+1, x2n+2) ≤ 1 2 d(x2n, x2n+2) ≤ 1 2 [ d(x2n, x2n+1) + d(x2n+1, x2n+2) ] . Taking limit as n → ∞, we have r ≤ lim 1 2 d(x2n, x2n+2) ≤ 1 2 r + 1 2 r. Therefore limn→∞ d(x2n, x2n+2) = 2r. Using the continuity of µ and lower semicontinuity of ψ, we have µ(r) ≤ µ(r) − − ψ(2r, 0). This implies that ψ(2r, 0) = 0 and hence r = 0. Thus d(xn+1, xn)→ 0. Now, we prove that {xn} is a Cauchy sequence. It is sufficient to show that {x2n} is a Cauchy sequence. On contrary, suppose that {x2n} is not a Cauchy sequence. Then there exists ε > 0 for which we can find subsequences {x2m(k)} and {x2n(k)} of {x2n} such that n(k) is the smallest index for which n(k) > m(k) > k, d(x2m(k), x2n(k)) ≥ ε. This means that d(x2m(k), x2n(k)−2) < ε. So, we have ISSN 1027-3190. Укр. мат. журн., 2014, т. 66, № 4 534 S. CHANDOK, M. S. KHAN, M. ABBAS ε ≤ d(x2m(k), x2n(k)) ≤ ≤ d(x2m(k), x2n(k)−2) + d(x2n(k)−2, x2n(k)−1) + d(x2n(k)−1, x2n(k)) < < ε+ d(x2n(k)−2, x2n(k)−1) + d(x2n(k)−1, x2n(k)). Taking limit as k →∞, we get lim n→∞ d(x2m(k), x2n(k)) = ε. (3) Also, ε ≤ d(x2m(k), x2n(k)) ≤ d(x2m(k), x2m(k)−1) + d(x2m(k)−1, x2n(k)) ≤ ≤ 2d(x2m(k), x2m(k)−1) + d(x2m(k), x2n(k)). On letting k →∞, we obtain lim n→∞ d(x2m(k)−1, x2n(k)) = ε. (4) On the other hand, we have d(x2m(k), x2n(k)) ≤ d(x2m(k), x2n(k)+1) + d(x2n(k)+1, x2n(k)) ≤ ≤ d(x2m(k), x2n(k)) + 2d(x2n(k)+1, x2n(k)). On taking limit as k →∞, we get lim n→∞ d(x2m(k), x2n(k)+1) = ε. Also, d(x2m(k)−1, x2n(k)) ≤ d(x2m(k)−1, x2n(k)+1) + d(x2n(k)+1, x2n(k)) ≤ ≤ d(x2m(k)−1, x2n(k)) + 2d(x2n(k)+1, x2n(k)). On taking limit as k →∞, we obtain lim n→∞ d(x2m(k)−1, x2n(k)+1) = ε. Consider µ(ε) ≤ µ(d(x2m(k), x2n(k))) = µ(d(Tx2m(k)−1, fx2n(k)−1)) ≤ ≤ µ ( 1 2 [ d(x2m(k)−1, fx2n(k)−1) + d(x2n(k)−1, Tx2m(k)−1) ]) − −ψ(d(x2m(k)−1, fx2n(k)−1), d(x2n(k)−1, Tx2m(k)−1)) = = µ ( 1 2 [d(x2m(k)−1, x2n(k)) + d(x2n(k)−1, x2m(k))] ) − ISSN 1027-3190.

Taking limit as k → ∞, and using the continuity of µ and lower semicontinuity of ψ, we have µ(ε) ≤ µ ( 1 2 [ε+ ε] ) − ψ(ε, ε) and consequently ψ(ε, ε) ≤ 0, a contradiction as ε > 0. Thus {x2n} is a Cauchy sequence and hence {xn} is a Cauchy sequence. As X is a complete metric space, there exists t ∈ X such that limn→∞ xn = t. Since {xn} is a nondecreasing sequence, by (i), we have xn � t. Consider µ(d(x2n+1, ft)) = µ(d(Tx2n, ft)) ≤ ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(x2n, ft) + d(t, Tx2n)] ) − ψ(d(x2n, ft), d(t, Tx2n)) = = µ ( 1 2 [d(x2n, ft) + d(t, x2n+1)] ) − ψ(d(x2n, ft), d(t, x2n+1)). Taking limit as n → ∞, we have µ(d(t, ft)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 d(t, ft) ) − ψ(d(t, ft), 0)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 d(t, ft) ) . This implies that d(t, ft) = 0 and hence t = ft. Again, consider µ(d(Tt, t)) = µ(d(Tt, ft)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(t, ft) + d(t, T t)] ) − ψ(d(t, ft), d(t, T t)) = = µ ( 1 2 d(t, T t) ) − ψ(0, d(t, T t)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 d(t, T t) ) . This implies that d(Tt, t) = 0, T t = t. Therefore, t = Tt = ft, i.e., t is a common fixed point of T and f. If condition (ii) holds: Assume that T is continuous. Then t = limn→∞ Txn = x2n+1 = Tt. Now µ(d(t, ft)) = µ(d(Tt, ft)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(t, ft) + d(t, T t)] ) − ψ(d(t, ft), d(t, T t)) = = µ ( 1 2 d(t, ft) ) − ψ(d(t, ft), 0) ≤ µ ( 1 2 d(t, ft) ) implies that d(t, ft) = 0, ft = t. Therefore, t = Tt = ft, i.e., t is a common fixed point of T and f. If f is continuous, then following arguments similar to those given above, the result follows. Now suppose that the set of common fixed points of T and f is well ordered. Now, we claim the uniqueness of common fixed points of T and f. Assume on contrary that Tu = fu = u and Tv = fv = v but u 6= v. Consider µ(d(u, v)) = µ(d(Tu, fv)) ≤ ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(u, fv) + d(v, Tu)] ) − ψ(d(u, fv), d(v, Tu)) = ISSN 1027-3190.

This implies that d(u, v) = 0, by the property of ψ. Hence u = v. Conversely, if T and f have only one common fixed point then the set of common fixed point of f and T being singleton is well ordered. Theorem 1 is proved. If T = f, we have the following result. Corollary 1. Let (X,�) be a partially ordered set such that there exists a complete metric d on X. Suppose that T is a monotone nondecreasing self mapping on X such that µ(d(Tx, Ty)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(x, Ty) + d(y, Tx)] ) − ψ(d(x, Ty), d(y, Tx)), is satisfied for all x, y ∈ X with x and y comparable. Also suppose that either (i) if {xn} ⊂ X is a nondecreasing sequence with xn → z in X, then xn � z, for every n ∈ N, or (ii) T is continuous. Then T has a fixed point. If µ(t) = t, we have the following result. Corollary 2 (see [5, 10]). Let (X,�) be a partially ordered set such that there exists a complete metric d on X. Suppose that T is a monotone nondecreasing self mapping on X such that µ(d(Tx, Ty)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(x, Ty) + d(y, Tx)] ) − ψ(d(x, Ty), d(y, Tx)), is satisfied for all comparable elements x, y ∈ X. Also suppose that either (i) if {xn} ⊂ X is a nondecreasing sequence with xn → z in X, then xn � z, for every n ∈ N, or (ii) T is continuous. Then T has a fixed point. Example 2. Let M = [0, 1] be endowed with partial order x � y if and only if x ≥ y. Let d be defined by d(x, y) = |x− y|. We set Tx = 0 and fx = x2 8 for all x ∈M. It is easy to see that f and g are weakly increasing maps. We define µ : [0,∞)→ [0,∞) and ψ : [0,∞)× [0,∞)→ [0,∞) by µ(t) = t 2 and ψ(t, s) = t+ s 16 . Then for x, y ∈M, we have µ(d(Tx, fy)) = µ ( d ( 0, y2 8 )) = µ ( y2 8 ) = y2 16 , and ISSN 1027-3190.

Hence µ(d(Tx, fy)) ≤ µ ( 1 2 [d(x, fy) + d(y, Tx)] ) − ψ(d(x, fy), d(y, Tx)). Thus all conditions of Theorem 1 are satisfied. Moreover, T and f have a unique common fixed point 0. 1. Alber Ya.
