Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present some fixed point approaches for multi-valued Prešić k-step iterative-type mappings on a metric space. Furthermore, some corollaries are obtained to unify and extend many symmetrical results in the literature. Moreover, two examples are provided to support the main result. Ultimately, as potential applications, some contributions of integral type are investigated and the existence of a solution to the second-order boundary value problem (BVP) is presented.
1. Introduction
In nonlinear analysis, fixed point (FP) theory is regarded as one of the most potent and practical tools. FP theory is a thriving area of nonlinear analysis with numerous potential future developments. It is a field that is significant in both pure and applied mathematics. Due to the ease and smoothness of the FP method, as well as its numerous and fascinating applications in fields such as economics, biology, chemistry, game theory, engineering, physics, etc., it has now become the standard for nonlinear analysis, following the publication of a large number of valuable papers that have used it effectively.
The strength of FPs appears clearly when applied to contraction mappings in complete metric spaces (MSs). From here, many writers headed in this direction, either by generalizing space or by generalizing contractions. Then, theoretical results were applied in many applications, such as studying the existence and uniqueness of the solution to differential, integral, matrix, and functional equations. For more details, see [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9].
To generalize the above results, Prešić [10] introduced mappings under mild conditions on a finite product space and introduced some FP results for such mappings. Many authors have been interested in this idea and have discovered new fixed points with new applications. For more information on this trend, see [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20].
On the other hand, multi-valued mappings are important in a variety of mathematical sciences, including economics, optimization theory, and problems involving optimal control. With the help of the FP approach, it is possible to examine the existence and uniqueness of the solution to fractional differential and integral equations [21,22,23,24]. Additionally, this subject has been thoroughly researched, with some noteworthy findings reported in [25,26,27,28,29].
Nadler [30] extended BCPs to multi-valued contraction mappings and obtained important results as a continuation of this approach. Choudhury et al. [31] generalized Nadler’s FP theorem by using the notion of -admissible contractions tin multi-valued contraction mappings, and presented nice results on fixed point theorems in this line. For further generalizations in this regard, see [32,33,34,35,36].
In this paper, some FP results for multi-valued Prešić type -contraction mappings are introduced in MSs. Furthermore, some results were related to previous contributions obtained as corollaries. Moreover, two examples are presented to support the first main result. Ultimately, as applications, some contributions of integral type are obtained and the existence of a solution to the second-order boundary value problem (BVP) is discussed.
2. Preliminaries
In this part, we provide some basic definitions and concepts that help us in our desired goal and also facilitate the reader to understand our manuscript.
Let be any non-empty set and be a given mapping. A functional equation is known as fixed point (FP) equation and its solution is called a FP of The existence of solutions to such equations depends on the nature of the mapping and the distance or topological structure of the set If for any there exists some real number such that the following condition holds:
Then, is called a contraction mapping. The BCP [1] is stated as follows:
Theorem 1.
Let be a complete MS and be a self mapping which is also a contraction. Then, the FP equation involving the mapping has a solution which is unique. Furthermore, for every the iterative sequence defined by converges to a FP

Theorems 3 and 4 are crucial for understanding the issue of global asymptotic stability of an equilibrium for the nonlinear difference equation
which was considered in [14,15].
To study the FPs of set-valued Prešić-type contraction mappings in the setup of MSs, we need the following concepts.

3. Main Results
This section is devoted to presenting some FP results for a Ćirić–Prešić multi-valued -contraction type mapping in the setting of complete MSs. We begin with the following theorem:
Theorem 7.

The following corollaries give generalized results to some of the previous literature:

4. Applications
This part is considered as the mainstay of this paper because it indicates the applications that contribute to solving some nonlinear integral systems that attract many readers and researchers and show the importance of fixed point theory in many areas.
4.1. Some Contributions of Integral Type

(1) For each compact subset of is a positive Lebesgue integrable mapping;
(2) for all
Corollary 4.
If the remaining conditions of Theorem 7 are true, then the sequence converges to
Proof.
Assume the function then (5) becomes
Letting and since , then the proof is quickly completed from Theorem 7. □
By the same line in [37], let a fixed number . Suppose that is a collection of p functions which belong to For each we define
We have the following result:
Corollary 5.
Replace the inequality (1) of Theorem 7 by the the following assumption: there is such that
If the remaining conditions of Theorem 7 hold, then the sequence converges to ϰ.
Proof.
Specify then the inequality (6) takes the form
Applying Theorem 7, we obtain the desired result. □
4.2. Solve a Three Point Boundary Value Problem
An ordinary differential equation, partial differential equation, or a differential equation with a well-posed issue should have a single solution that changes over time depending on the sources. The operator that converts the data into the solution for linear equations is often a linear integral operator [38] and Green’s function is the kernel. For various scenarios and problems, ref. [39] contains a set of formula for such Green’s functions. According to [40], the best method for solving a boundary value problem (BVP) is to calculate its Green’s function. By using the integral expression, it is also possible to obtain some additional qualitative information about the solutions of the problem under consideration, such as their sign, oscillation properties, a priori bounds, or their stability. In this part, we discuss an application of our results by examining the existence of solutions to the following three point BVP:
where is a real-valued continuous function defined on the interval and is a real number lying between and such that Let us consider the following Green’s function [41]:
where
Clearly, the problem (7) is equivalent to the following integral equation:
Assume that
is a class of all real continuous valued functions defined on , equipped with the norm
Obviously, the space is a complete MS.
Now, our main theorems in this part are as follows:
Theorem 10.
The problem (7) has a solution provided that the following assertions hold:
(i) There exists two continuous functions such that
and a continuous function such that
for all Here,
(ii) There exists such that
Proof.
Let Define the MV mapping by
Then, for any and we have
Hence, it satisfies (1), so by Theorem 5, there exists such that Therefore,
This illustrates that the BVP (7) has a solution on . □
Remark 1.
The existence of a solution to the BVP (7) can be obtained also if we replace condition (i) of Theorem 10 with the following condition:
(iii) There exist two continuous functions such that
and a continuous function such that the inequality below is true
for all In addition, taking
It follows that for any and , we have
Therefore, we the end of the proof is the same as Theorem 10. Therefore, the BVP (7) has a solution on .
5. Conclusions
The analytical solution of BVPs by using multi-valued contractive mappings is an important application in fixed point theory, which has attracted the interest of many authors in academic research. Continuing in this direction, this paper discusses some FP results for multi-valued Prešić-type -contraction mappings in MSs. Furthermore, some results were related to previous contributions obtained as corollaries. Moreover, two examples are presented to support the first main result. Ultimately, the applications of some contributions of integral type are discussed and the existence of a solution to the second-order BVP is investigated.
