Contraction Mappings and Applications

Abstract

The aim of the chapter is to find the existence results for the solution of non-homogeneous Fredholm integral equations of the second kind and non-linear matrix equations by using the fixed point theorems. Here, we derive fixed point theorems for two different type of contractions. Firstly, we utilize the concept of manageable functions to define multivalued α∗−η∗ manageable contractions and prove fixed point theorems for such contractions. After that, we use these fixed point results to find the solution of non-homogeneous Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. Secondly, we introduce weak F contractions named as α-F-weak-contraction to prove fixed point results in the setting of metric spaces and by using these results we find the solution for non-linear matrix equations
