Fixed point results for single and multi-valued three-points contractions (2502.19936v1)

Abstract: In this paper, we are concerned with the study of the existence of fixed points for single and multi-valued three-points contractions. Namely, we first introduce a new class of single-valued mappings defined on a metric space equipped with three metrics. A fixed point theorem is established for such mappings. The obtained result recovers that established recently by the second author [J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 25 (2023) 74] for the class of single-valued mappings contracting perimeters of triangles. We next extend our study by introducing the class of multivalued three points contractions. A fixed point theorem, which is a multi-valued version of that obtained in the above reference, is established. Some examples showing the validity of our obtained results are provided.
