Abstract
It is well known fact that fixed point results are very useful for finding the solution of different types of differential equations. In this paper, some new results of multi-valued functions involving rational inequality in metric spaces have been obtained. Some of the new concepts are also defined over metric spaces that are open set, interior of set, and limit point of set. Moreover, we have presented the application of our main results in the field of Homotopy. Some non-trivial examples are also provided to discuss the validation of the main finding.
1. Introduction
The boundary of the fixed point was bounded using Topology and Mathematical analysis. Later on, the unique solutions of integral and deferential equations were solved using the theory of fixed points. Thus, the concept of the fixed point was enlarged to integral and differential equations. Stefen Banach (1892–1945) presented the idea of locating the fixed point of self mapping in 1922. This idea is known as a Banach contraction or Banach contractive theory. Before Banach fixed theory, Brouwer presented the idea of a fixed point called Brouwer fixed point theory [1]. This theory only guaranteed the existence of a solution, but not their uniqueness or the existence of a fixed point. However, it might be helpful in calculating the zeroes of a certain function. Schauder [2] worked on a compact and bounded closed convex subset of Banach spaces and introduced a fixed point, which is known as a Schauder Fixed Point. As an application, the Schauder fixed point theory is used in Game theory, approximation theory, and other fields such as optimization theory, engineering, and economics. After these, a lot of metric spaces and fixed point theorems were introduced to the literature.
After Banach fixed theory, Kannan [3] worked on Banach fixed point theory and relaxed one of the conditions for the scholar that continuity is necessary for Kannan’s fixed point theory. In 2011, A. Azam and B. Fisher [4] developed a new idea of complex valued metric spaces. Many authors arrived with this new concept and introduced many different types of fixed point theorems with the contractive conditions using single-valued mappings and multi-valued mappings, interested scholars might include ([5,6,7,8,9,10,11]). Along with these, Gahler [3] introduced the concept of 2-metric space, which was the extension of regular metric spaces. After detail study, some of the authors felt that the statement of generalization of regular spaces is not correct, see for detail [12], and proved that 2-distance mapping is not continuous with its domain. Furthermore, due to the lack of continuity, Banach contraction mapping theorem is not verified over here. To overcome the loss of continuity in 2-metric spaces, Dhage [13] introduced the new concept of D-metric spaces and provided their topological structure. Moreover, he felt that D-metric spaces were the extension of the usual metric spaces and proved several fixed point results. (see [14,15].) However, Z. Mustafa [16] searched for some primary properties of topological spaces that were not satisfied by D-metric spaces, one of them is D-convergence of the sequence to u, i.e., whenever may not convergence in any fundamental topology. Z. Mustafa came across these flaws and introduced a new concept that overcame this failure and developed a more general idea called G-metric spaces and introduced many related fixed point theorems under a different sort of contractive condition, see for instance; ([17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29]).
Moreover, under the detailed study of 2-metric spaces and G-metric spaces, some fixed point theorems obeying the rational contractive condition are extracted here in this area, under G-metric spaces. Some theorems of multi-valued functions with rational inequality in mertic spaces, which are new to the literature of fixed point theory and its applications are presented here in this article. As an application that provides the accuracy to our main result, Homotopy was introduced with readers. Furthermore, examples are provided to the undergoing discussion to strengthen the statements of theorems.

6. Application to Homotopy Result
Here, we apply the Homotopy result to our main theorem. Before applying the result, we recall some of the familiar definitions.
Definition 10.
A relation ≤ is a total order on a set if for every the following assertion is to satisfy:
- (i)
- Reflexivity:
- (ii)
- Anti-symmetry: if and then
- (iii)
- Transitive: if and then
- (iv)
- Comparability: for every either or
Remark 2.
If the conditions , and are satisfied, then is called partially ordered. A totally ordered set is called a chain.
Lemma 2.
Kuratowski–Zorn’s
If is a non-empty partially ordered set in which every chain has an upper bound, the has a maximal element.
Definition 11.
Let and be topological spaces and are continuous functions. A function such that if then and are called a homotopy between φ and ψ
Theorem 5.
Let be complete a metric space and O be an open subset of . Let be a multi-valued mapping with g.l.b. property. Assume that there exists and such that the following conditions are satisfied:
- (a)
- for each and for all
- (b)
- be a multi-valued mapping satisfying:where for every ,
- (c)
- there exist a continuous non-decreasing function such that:for every and each where Then, has a fixed point if and only if has a fixed point.
Proof.
Suppose that has a fixed point this implies that From Define
Clearly, B is a non-empty set. Define a partial ordering in B as:
Let Z be a chain in B and and let be a sequence in Z such that and as Then, for we have
this means that is a Cauchy sequence in Then, the completeness of will lead us to the existing of point such that as by condition we have
Since, then we have
Therefore, there exist such that
Since, H has a g.l.b. property, then
which implies that
By using the following fact
By using these equations, then the inequality 11 becomes
Furthermore, it is noted that, Then, the above equality of becomes
Using , we obtain
This implies that , thus means using the definition of B, , which provides , is an upper bound of By using Kuratowski–Zorn’s Lemma, Z has a maximal element . Let us claim that However, suppose that and choose such that By condition , we have , where for all Here, there exists such that and for It follows that By condition we deduced that the mapping satisfies all the assertion of the Corollary. Therefore, for all , there exist such that Hence, Since then we have which is a contradiction. So, This shows that has a fixed point, then, on similar steps, one can prove that has a fixed point. □
7. Conclusions
In this article, with the help of rational inequality, some results were acquired related to multi-valued functions over metric spaces. Some new definitions of open ball, open sets, and limit points of a set are introduced over metric spaces. Homotopy application are also provided. Some example provided to discuss and strengthen primary finding. We hope that the outcomes of this manuscript will be helpful to understand the literature of fixed point theory and its applications. In the future, we will try to explore these ideas in the directions of complex single-valued mapping and complex multi-valued mapping.
