On α-ψ-Meir-Keeler contractive mappings

Existence and uniqueness of fixed points for Meir–Keeler-type mappings in complete metric spaces.

Question

Under what conditions can an α-ψ-Meir-Keeler-type mapping admit a fixed point, and when is that point unique?

Method

The paper introduces the α-ψ-Meir-Keeler contractive mapping through a triangular α-admissible mapping and studies fixed-point existence and uniqueness in complete metric spaces.

  • Define the contractive condition
  • Use α-admissibility
  • Prove existence and uniqueness
  • Provide illustrative examples

Mathematical core

Conceptual Meir–Keeler condition

Meir–Keeler form
∀ε>0,∃δ>0:ε≤d(x,y)<ε+δ⇒d(Tx,Ty)<ε

Findings

The main result gives conditions for existence and uniqueness of fixed points for these mappings in complete metric spaces. Several examples illustrate the results.

Why it matters

This is an example of working from precise constraints and structural properties rather than treating an algorithm as a black box: the problem's structure determines what can be guaranteed.
