Abstract

In this paper, some existence fixed point theorems for some classes of mappings such as SCC, SKC, KSC, CSC and the class of fundamentally nonexpanisve mappings are obtained in Ptolemy spaces.

MSC:47H10.

1 Introduction

Let (X,d) be a metric space; the inequality

d(x,y)d(z,p)≤d(x,z)d(y,p)+d(x,p)d(y,z)

is called the Ptolemy inequality, where x,y,z,p∈X. A Ptolemy metric space is a metric space where the Ptolemy inequality holds. It was shown in [1] that a normed space is an inner product space if and only if it is a Ptolemy space.

Remark 1.1 [2]

  1. (I)

    CAT(0) spaces are Ptolemy spaces.

  2. (II)

    A geodesic Ptolemy space is not necessarily a CAT(0) space (see [3] for more details).

For more details on nonexpansive mappings and related topics in fixed point theory see [4–7]. Espinola and Nicolae [8] study some properties of uniformly convex geodesic spaces in geodesic Ptolemy spaces. They prove that a geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map is reflexive. As a result, every bounded sequence has a unique asymptotic center. This result is used to prove some fixed point theorems for geodesic Ptolemy spaces with a uniformly continuous midpoint map. Karapınar and Tas [9] introduce some generalization of condition C such as conditions SCC, SKC, KSC, and CSC, which are strong enough to generate a fixed point for discontinuous mappings. In this paper, the existence of fixed point for some class of mappings such as SCC, SKC, KSC, CSC, and the class of fundamentally nonexpansive mapping in Ptolemy spaces is studied.

2 Preliminaries

In this section, we introduce some notations (see [8, 10], for more details).

Let (X,d) be a metric space; a geodesic path joining x∈X to y∈X is a map c from a closed interval [0,l]⊂R to X such that c(0)=x, c(l)=y and d(c(t),c( t ´ ))=|t− t ´ | for all t, t ´ ∈[0,l]. In particular, c is an isometry and d(x,y)=l. The image α of c is called a geodesic (or metric) segment joining x and y. When it is unique, this geodesic is denoted by [x,y]. The space (X,d) is said to be a geodesic space if every two points of X are joined by a geodesic, and X is said to be uniquely geodesic if there is exactly one geodesic joining x to y for each x,y∈X.

Definition 2.1 A subset Y of a geodesic space (X,d) is called convex if the geodesic segment joining any two points of Y is entirely contained in Y.

Definition 2.2 [8]

Let X be a geodesic space. We say that X admits a continuous midpoint map if there exists a map m:X×X→X such that

d ( x , m ( x , y ) ) =d ( y , m ( x , y ) ) = d ( x , y ) 2 for all x,y∈X,

and for x,y, x n , y n ∈X, such that lim n → ∞ d( x n ,x)=0 and lim n → ∞ d( y n ,y)=0, we have lim n → ∞ d(m( x n , y n ),m(x,y))=0.

A geodesic triangle Δ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ) consist of three points x 1 , x 2 and x 3 in X (the vertex of the triangle) and three geodesic segment corresponding to each pair of points (the edges of the triangle). For the geodesic triangle Δ=Δ( x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ), a comparison triangle is a triangle Δ ¯ =Δ( x ¯ 1 , x ¯ 2 , x ¯ 3 ) in the Euclidean plan E 2 such that d( x i , x j )= d E 2 ( x ¯ i , x ¯ j ) for i,j∈{1,2,3}.

A geodesic triangle Δ satisfies the CAT(0) inequality if for every comparison triangle Δ ¯ of Δ and for every x,y∈Δ we have

d(x,y)≤ d E 2 ( x ¯ , y ¯ ),

where x ¯ , y ¯ ∈ Δ ¯ are the comparison triangle points of x and y.

A geodesic space is CAT(0) space if every geodesic triangle satisfies the CAT(0) inequality.

Let X be a metric space and { x n } be a bounded sequence in X. For x∈X let

r ( x , { x n } ) = lim sup n → ∞ d(x, x n ).

The asymptotic radius r({ x n }) of { x n } in K is given by

r ( K , { x n } ) = inf x ∈ K r ( x , { x n } ) ,

and the asymptotic center A({ x n }) of { x n } in K is the set:

A ( K , { x n } ) = { x ∈ K : r ( x , { x n } ) } =r ( K , { x n } ) .

Nonexpansive mappings and its generalization are important form applications of view. Here, we present some new generalization of this kind of mapping in Ptolemy spaces. But at first, we recall the definition of nonexpansive and quasi-nonexpansive mappings as follows.

Definition 2.3 A map T on a subset C of a metric space E is called nonexpansive if

d(Tx,Ty)≤d(x,y),

for all x,y∈C.

Definition 2.4 A map T on a subset C of a metric space E is called quasi-nonexpansive if

d(Tx,y)≤d(x,y),

for all x∈C and y∈F(T), where F(T) is the set of all fixed points of T.

In 2008, Suzuki [11] introduced condition C as follows.

Definition 2.5 Let T be a mapping on a subset C of a metric space E. Then T is said to satisfy condition C if

1 2 d(x,Tx)≤d(x,y)impliesd(Tx,Ty)≤d(x,y),

for all x,y∈C.

It is obvious that every nonexpansive mapping satisfies condition C, but the converse is not true. The next simple example can show this fact.

Example 2.6 [11]

Define a mapping T on [0,3] by

T(x)= { 0 if  x ≠ 3 , 1 if  x = 3 .

Then T satisfies condition C, but T is not nonexpansive.

Here, we introduce the following definition and recall some other conditions which generalize the Suzuki one:

Definition 2.7 Let X be a metric space and K be a subset of X. A mapping T:K→K is said to be fundamentally nonexpansive if

d ( T 2 x , T y ) ≤d(Tx,y),
(2.1)

for all x,y∈K.

Proposition 2.8 Every mapping which satisfies condition C is fundamentally nonexpansive, but the converse is not true.

Proof By taking x ′ =Tx and y ′ =y, we see that every nonexpansive mapping is fundamentally nonexpansive. So by [[11], Lemma 3.4 part (iii)] the result is obtained. □

Example 2.9 Suppose X={(0,0),(0,1),(1,1),(1,2)}. Define

d ( ( x 1 , y 1 ) , ( x 2 , y 2 ) ) =max { | x 1 − x 2 | , | y 1 − y 2 | } .

Define T on X by

T(0,0)=(1,2),T(0,1)=(0,0),T(1,1)=(1,1),T(1,2)=(0,1).

T does not satisfy condition C, i.e.

1 2 d(Tx,x)≤d(x,y)andd(Tx,Ty)>d(x,y).

Let x=(0,0), y=(0,1), then

1 2 d ( T ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 1 ) ) ≤d ( ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 1 ) ) ,

and

2=d ( T ( 0 , 0 ) , T ( 0 , 1 ) ) >d ( ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 1 ) ) =1.

Thus condition C does not hold. Now, T is fundamentally nonexpansive. To show this, we show (2.1) holds. Let x=(0,0) and y=(1,1), then

d ( T 2 ( 0 , 0 ) , T ( 1 , 1 ) ) =d ( ( 0 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) ≤d ( T ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) =d ( ( 1 , 2 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) .

Thus (2.1) is satisfied. Also, (2.1) holds for the other points. Moreover, in this example T 2 is not the zero constant function.

Example 2.10 Define a mapping T on [0,1] by

T(x)= { 0 if  x ≠ 1 , 1 if  x = 1 .

It is easy to show T is quasi-nonexpansive but it is not fundamentally nonexpansive mapping.

Karapınar and Tas [9] state some new definitions which are modifications of Suzuki’s condition C, as follows.

Definition 2.11 Let T be a mapping on a subset K of a metric space E.

(i) T is said to satisfy condition SCC if

1 2 d(x,Tx)≤d(x,y)impliesd(Tx,Ty)≤M(x,y)for all x,y∈K,

where

M(x,y)=max { d ( x , y ) , d ( x , T x ) , d ( T y , y ) , d ( T x , y ) , d ( x , T y ) } .

(ii) T is said to satisfy condition SKC if

1 2 d(x,Tx)≤d(x,y)impliesd(Tx,Ty)≤N(x,y)for all x,y∈K,

where

N(x,y)=max { d ( x , y ) , 1 2 { d ( x , T x ) + d ( T y , y ) } , 1 2 { d ( T x , y ) + d ( x , T y ) } } .

(iii) T is said to satisfy condition KSC if

1 2 d(x,Tx)≤d(x,y)impliesd(Tx,Ty)≤ 1 2 { d ( x , T x ) + d ( T y , y ) } for all x,y∈K.

(iv) T is said to satisfy condition CSC if

1 2 d(x,Tx)≤d(x,y)impliesd(Tx,Ty)≤ 1 2 { d ( T x , y ) + d ( x , T y ) } for all x,y∈K.

It is clear, every nonexpansive mapping satisfies condition SKC ([[9], Proposition 9]).

Example 2.12 Define a mapping T on [0,3] with the usual metric by

T(x)= { 0 if  x ≠ 3 , 2 if  x = 3 .

It is obvious, F(T)={0}≠∅ and T is quasi-nonexpansive. However, since

1 2 d(3,T3)= 1 2 |3−T3|= 1 2 ≤1=|3−2|=d(3,2)

and

d(T3,T2)=|T3−T2|=2>1=|3−2|=d(3,2),

T does not satisfy condition C, but T satisfies condition SCC. Consider the following cases:

  1. (1)

    If x,y∈[0,3) then d(Tx,Ty)=0≤M(x,y).

  2. (2)

    If x=y=3 then d(Tx,Ty)=d(2,2)=0≤M(x,y).

  3. (3)

    If x=3, y∈[0,3) then

    d ( T 3 , T y ) = | T 3 − T y | = 2 ≤ max { d ( 3 , y ) , d ( 3 , T 3 ) , d ( y , T y ) , d ( T 3 , y ) , d ( 3 , T y ) } = max { | 3 − y | , | 3 − T 3 | , | y − T y | , | T 3 − y | , | 3 − T y | } = max { | 3 − y | , 1 , | 2 − y | , y , 3 } = 3 = M ( x , y ) .

Karapınar and Tas [9] proved the following useful propositions.

Theorem 2.13 Let T be a mapping on a closed subset K of a metric space E. Suppose T satisfies condition SKC, then F(T) is closed. Moreover, if E is strictly convex and K is convex, then F(T) is convex.

Remark 2.14 Theorem 2.13 holds if one replaces condition SKC by one of the conditions KSC, SCC, and CSC.

Theorem 2.15 Let T be a mapping on a closed subset K of a metric space E and T satisfy condition SKC, then d(x,Ty)≤5d(Tx,x)+d(x,y) holds for x,y∈K.

Remark 2.16 Theorem 2.15 holds if one replaces condition SKC by one of the conditions KSC, SCC, and CSC.

See [12] for the next definition.

Definition 2.17 Let T be a mapping on a subset K of a metric space X and μ≥1. T is said to satisfy condition E μ if

d(x,Ty)≤μd(x,Tx)+d(x,y),x,y∈K.

Moreover, T is said to satisfy condition E, whenever T satisfies the condition E μ for some μ≥1.

Therefore, if T satisfies one of the conditions SKC, KSC, SCC, and CSC, then T satisfies condition E μ for μ=5.

Definition 2.18 Let X be a metric space, K⊆X, T:K→X and λ∈(0,1). T is said to satisfy condition C λ if

λd(x,Tx)≤d(x,y)impliesd(Tx,Ty)≤d(x,y),for all x,y∈K.

Note that, if 0< λ 1 < λ 2 <1, then the condition C λ 1 implies the condition C λ 2 . The class of mappings satisfying the condition C λ is broader than the class of mappings satisfying the condition C. The next lemma and theorem play important roles to obtain fixed point in the Ptolemy spaces.

Lemma 2.19 [13]

Let { z n } and { w n } be bounded sequences in K, where K is nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex subset of a metric space X and λ∈(0,1). Suppose that z n + 1 =λ w n +(1−λ) z n and d( w n + 1 , w n )≤d( z n + 1 , z n ) for all n∈N. Then lim sup n → ∞ d( w n , z n )=0.

Theorem 2.20 [8]

Let X be a complete geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map, { x n }⊆X a bounded sequence and K⊆X is nonempty, closed, and convex. Then { x n } has a unique asymptotic center in K.

The following theorem can be useful for finding fixed points for nonexpansive mappings in Ptolemy spaces [8].

Theorem 2.21 Let X be a complete geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map, and K⊆X nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex. Suppose that T:K→K is a nonexpansive mapping. Then F(T) is nonempty, closed, and convex.

3 Main results

Let X be complete geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map and T be a mapping. In this section, we apply some different conditions for T and give some new results for F(T).

Theorem 3.1 Let X be a complete geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map, and suppose that K⊆X is nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex. If T:K→K satisfies condition C, then F(T) is nonempty, closed, and convex.

Proof First, there exists an approximate fixed point sequence for T. To show this, define a sequence { x n } in K by x 1 ∈K and

x n + 1 =αT x n +(1−α) x n

for n∈N, where α is a real number in [1/2,1). Then, by the assumption,

1 2 d( x n ,T x n )≤αd( x n ,T x n )=d( x n , x n + 1 )

for n∈N, hence

d(T x n + 1 ,T x n )≤d( x n + 1 , x n ).

So, by Lemma 2.19

lim n → ∞ d( x n ,T x n )=0.

Now, by Theorem 2.20, the asymptotic center of any bounded sequence is in K, particularly, the asymptotic center of approximate fixed point sequence for T is in K. Let A({ x n })={y}, we show that y is a fixed point of T. In order to prove this, one writes

d( x n ,Ty)≤3d(T x n , x n )+d( x n ,y);

therefore

lim sup n → ∞ d ( x n , T y ) ≤ lim sup n → ∞ ( 3 d ( T x n , x n ) + d ( x n , y ) ) = lim sup n → ∞ d ( x n , y ) .

Uniqueness of the asymptotic center implies Ty=y. □

Theorem 3.2 Let K be a nonempty closed, convex, and bounded subset of a complete geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map X. Suppose that T:K→K satisfies the conditions E and C λ for some λ∈(0,1). Then T has a fixed point in K.

Proof Define a sequence { x n }⊂K by x 1 ∈K and x n + 1 =λT x n +(1−λ) x n for all n∈N. Then we have

λd( x n ,T x n )=d( x n , x n + 1 )(n∈N).

By the condition C λ , we have

d(T x n ,T x n + 1 )≤d( x n , x n + 1 )(n∈N).

Apply Lemma 2.19 to conclude lim n → ∞ d( x n ,T x n )=0.

Let A({ x n })={w}, by Theorem 2.20, we have w∈K. Since T satisfies the condition E, we have

d( x n ,Tw)≤μd( x n ,T x n )+d( x n ,w)for n≥1.

Taking the limit superior on both side in the above inequality, we obtain

lim sup n → ∞ d( x n ,Tw)≤ lim sup n → ∞ d( x n ,w).

Uniqueness of the asymptotic center implies Tw=w. □

Theorem 3.3 Let X be a complete geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map. Suppose that K⊆X is nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex. If T:K→K satisfies condition SKC and F(T)≠∅, then F(T) is closed and convex.

Proof Assume ( x n ) is a sequence in F(T) which converges to some y∈K. We show y∈F(T). In order to prove this, one can write

d( x n ,Ty)≤5d( x n ,T x n )+d( x n ,y);

therefore

lim sup n → ∞ d ( x n , T y ) ≤ lim sup n → ∞ ( 5 d ( x n , T x n ) + d ( x n , y ) ) = lim sup n → ∞ d ( x n , y ) .

Uniqueness of asymptotic center implies Ty=y. F(T) is convex, let x,z∈F(T), then

d ( x , T y ) ≤ 5 d ( x , T x ) + d ( x , y ) = d ( x , y )

and

d ( z , T y ) ≤ 5 d ( z , T z ) + d ( z , y ) = d ( z , y ) .

For y∈[x,z], we have d(x,y)+d(y,z)=d(x,z)

d ( x , z ) ≤ d ( x , T y ) + d ( T y , z ) ≤ d ( x , y ) + d ( y , z ) = d ( x , z ) .

Therefore d(x,Ty)=d(x,y) and d(Ty,z)=d(y,z), because if d(x,Ty)<d(x,y) or d(Ty,z)<d(y,z), then d(x,z)<d(x,z) which is contradiction, therefore Ty∈[x,z] and Ty=y, which means [x,z]⊂F(T). □

There is an example [[2], p.6] to guarantee that the Ptolemy space differs from the CAT(0) space. Thanks to this example, we construct a function T:X→X, where X is Ptolemy, but it is not a CAT(0) space.

Example 3.4 Consider the space

X= { ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 2 ) }

with l ∞ metric,

d ( ( x 1 , y 1 ) , ( x 2 , y 2 ) ) =max { | x 1 − x 2 | , | y 1 − y 2 | } .

X is geodesic Ptolemy space, but it is not a CAT(0) space (see [2]).

Define a mapping T on X by

T(x,y)= { ( 1 , 1 ) if  ( x , y ) ≠ ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 1 ) if  ( x , y ) = ( 0 , 0 ) .

T has condition SKC. Suppose that (x,y)=(0,0) and (x,y)=(1,1)

1 2 d ( T ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 0 ) ) ≤d ( ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) ,

and

N ( ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) = max { d ( ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) , 1 2 [ d ( T ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 0 , 0 ) ) + d ( T ( 1 , 1 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) ] , 1 2 [ d ( T ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) + d ( T ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) ] } = 1 ,

thus

d ( T ( 0 , 0 ) , T ( 1 , 1 ) ) =1≤N ( ( 0 , 0 ) , ( 1 , 1 ) ) =1.

One can check that condition SKC holds for the other points of the space X.

Note that F(T)={(1,1)}≠∅, and F(T) is closed and convex.

Corollary 3.5 Let X be a complete geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map. Suppose that K⊆X is nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex. If T:K→K satisfies condition SCC, then F(T) is closed and convex.

Remark 3.6 Corollary 3.5 holds if we replace condition SCC by one of the conditions KSC and CSC.

Theorem 3.7 Let K be a bounded, closed, and convex subset of a complete geodesic Ptolemy space X with a uniformly continues midpoint map. Suppose T:K→K satisfies condition SKC. Suppose that { x n } is a sequence in K with lim n → ∞ d( x n ,T x n )=0. If A({ x n })=y, then y is a fixed point of T.

Proof Assume that there exists some approximate fixed point sequence { x n }. By Theorem 2.20, the asymptotic center of any bounded sequence is in K, particularly, the asymptotic center of approximate fixed point sequence for T is in K. Let A({ x n })={y}. y is a fixed point of T. In order to prove this, one can write

d( x n ,Ty)≤5d(T x n , x n )+d( x n ,y);

therefore

lim sup n → ∞ d ( x n , T y ) ≤ lim sup n → ∞ ( 5 d ( T x n , x n ) + d ( x n , y ) ) = lim sup n → ∞ d ( x n , y ) .

Uniqueness of the asymptotic center shows Ty=y. □

Corollary 3.8 Let K be a bounded, closed, and convex subset of a complete geodesic Ptolemy space X with a uniformly continues midpoint map. Suppose T:K→K satisfies condition SCC. Suppose that { x n } is a sequence in K with lim n → ∞ d( x n ,T x n )=0. If A({ x n })=y, then y is a fixed point of T.

Remark 3.9 Corollary 3.8 holds if we replace condition SCC by one of the conditions KSC and CSC.

Corollary 3.10 Let K be a bounded, closed, and convex subset of a complete geodesic Ptolemy space X with a uniformly continues midpoint map. Suppose T:K→K satisfies condition E μ . Suppose that { x n } is a sequence in K with lim n → ∞ d( x n ,T x n )=0. If A({ x n })=y, then y is a fixed point of T.

Corollary 3.11 Let K be a bounded, closed, and convex subset of a complete geodesic Ptolemy space X with a uniformly continues midpoint map. Suppose T:K→K satisfies condition C λ . Suppose that { x n } is a sequence in K with lim n → ∞ d( x n ,T x n )=0. If A({ x n })=y, then y is a fixed point of T.

Theorem 3.12 Let X be a complete geodesic Ptolemy space with a uniformly continuous midpoint map, and K⊆X nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex. Suppose that T:K→K is fundamentally nonexpansive mapping. Then F(T) is nonempty, closed, and convex.

Proof The proof is similar to the one in Theorem 3.3. □
