1. Introduction
The first result of a fixed point for quasi-contractive mappings was presented by Lj. Ćirić [1] in 1974. The result of Ćirić is the most general result with linear comparison function in metric fixed-point theory (see [2,3]).
Existence and uniqueness of fixed point for quasi-contractive mapping with nonlinear comparison function on metric spaces, considered by J. Daneš [4], A. A. Ivanov [5], I. Aranđelović, M. Rajović and V. Kilibarda [6] and M. Bessenyei [7].
In the paper [8], S. Aleksić et al. proved a fixed-point theorem for quasi-contractive mappings defined by linear quasi-contractive conditions on b-metric spaces.
The results of common fixed points as a generalization result of Ćirıć was obtained in [9] and in [10] with linear and nonlinear comparison functions, respectively.
The result of Ćirić [1] was generalized for multivalued quasi-contractive mappings by B. Fisher [11] (for linear cases) and by Ćirić and Ume [12] (for nonlinear cases). Further extension of these results was presented in [13].
A common fixed-point result for single-valued nonlinear quasi-contractions was presented by Z. D. Mitrović et al [14].
The notion of common fixed points for a hybrid pair of single-valued and multivalued mappings was introduced by S. L. Sigh, K. S. Ha, and Y. J. Cho [15]. Further important common fixed-point results for mappings of this type were presented in [16,17,18]. Theorems for the existence of a solution on Voltera integral inclusion and certain systems of functional equations arising in dynamic programming can be found in [19].
In this article, we give the results on the existence of a point of coincidence and a common strict fixed point for a hybrid pair of single-valued and multivalued mappings defined in b-metric spaces, which satisfy quasi-contractive inequality with nonlinear comparison function. Our results extend and generalize the results presented in [1,4,5,6,11,12,13,14]. Finally, we give an application of our results in the topological theory of set-valued dynamical systems.
2. Preliminaries
The concept of b-metric space was introduced by I. A. Bakhtin [20] and S. Czerwik [21].
Definition 1.
Let be a nonempty set, and such that for all :
- (1b)
- if and only if ;
- (2b)
- ;
- (3b)
- .
A triplet is called a b-metric space.
Some results in b-metric spaces in the last ten years can be seen in [22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38].
A b-metric space can is a topological space with the topology induced with family sets as a base of neighborhood filter of the point . The ball is defined by
We call the sequence Cauchy if for every , there exists such that it holds for all .
A b-metric space is complete if each Cauchy sequence converges.
Let and denote the family of all nonempty sets and all nonempty bounded subsets of X, respectively.

From definition of , it follows that:

Let X and Y be nonempty sets and , . If for some there exists such that , then x is a coincidence point of the multivalued function F and the single-valued function g and y is their point of coincidence.
An element is a fixed point of map F if .
If then is a strict fixed point (or a stationary point) of F.
Definition 2.
Let X be an arbitrary set, and . The hybrid pair of multivalued function F and single-valued function g commute in if . The F and g are weakly compatible if F and g commute at their coincidence points.
Lemma 1.
Let X be an arbitrary set, and be hybrid pair of weakly compatible functions. If F and g have a unique point of coincidence i.e., there exists such that and then z is unique common fixed point of F and g.
Proof.
Suppose that there exists unique such that and , for some . Then because F and g commute at x. This implies that . Therefore, because z is unique point of coincidence. □

Remark 1.
By Lemma 4, we learn that because φ is continuous.
3. Main Results
In this section, we consider a new type of multivalued quasi-contractive mapping with nonlinear comparison functions. We first give the following definition.
Definition 3.
Let X and Y be arbitrary sets, be single-valued and be a multivalued function such that and sequence such that . Then sequence defined by is called a Jungck sequence of hybrid pair F and g with an initial point .
Now we present our main result.
Theorem 1.
Let X be a nonempty set and be a b-metric space. Let be multivalued function and a single-valued function. Suppose that and that is a complete subspace of Y. If there exist the functions , such that , and
for any , then there exists the unique point of coincidence of F and g and , where is Jungck sequence defined by F and G.
Additionally, if F and g are weakly compatible and , then z is the unique common strict fixed point of F and g.
Proof.
From Lemma 2, it follows that there exist functions such that and
for each , . From Lemma 3 follows that there exists a real function such that and
Hence, for every we obtain
A mapping defined by
is upper semicontinuous. Additionally, we have because . By Lemma 4, we obtained that there exists continuous function such that and
for every . It follows that for any we have
because is monotone nondecreasing. Thus, we can assume that for and . Let be arbitrary and let be an arbitrary sequence such that , for every and arbitrary corresponding Jungck sequence with initial point . Let . We will show that it exists such that
for . Let Since
the set D is nonempty. If and we have . Therefore, D is an unbounded set. Let
Let then there exists such that . So,
Since is nondecreasing, we have
So,
Taking a limit as , we obtain
For any , define
and
Next, we prove that for all positive integers there holds
Since is monotone nondecreasing, it commutes with max for , we have
By induction, from (5) we obtain
For we have . Therefore, by (5) we have
Therefore, there exists , such that
Hence we obtain
which implies . So,
So, we conclude that each Jungck sequence defined by F and g is bounded. We will show that the corresponding Jungck sequence is a Cauchy. Let , then , using (6) (with ) and (7) we obtain
as . Since and is complete, we obtain that is convergent. Let , such that . Since , we conclude that there exists such that . Let us prove that . Suppose that . By (1) we have
By (8) we obtain
and
Furthermore, we have
From (8), (9) and (10) it follows
Thus, we have
which is a contradiction. Hence . Therefore, .
Let is show uniqueness. Suppose
Then by (1) we have
So, , the Jungck sequence converges uniquely to the point of coincidence. If and F and g are weakly compatible, using Lemma 1, we obtain that unique common fixed point of F and g. □
Example 1.
Let and the mappings
defined by
Suppose that the functions defined by
Then we have:
- (i)
- and , therefore ;
- (ii)
- is a complete subspace of Y;
- (iii)
- and , so ;
- (iv)
- , therefore, condition (1) is satisfied;
- (v)
- ;
- (vi)
- , , so F and g are weakly compatible.
Therefore, all the assumptions of Theorem 1 are satisfied and we conclude that F and g have a unique coincidence point.
Example 2.
Let and the mappings
defined by Let the functions defined by Then we have:
- (i)
- and , therefore, ;
- (ii)
- is a complete subspace of Y;
- (iii)
- and ;
- (iv)
- therefore, condition (1) is satisfied;
- (v)
- ;
- (vi)
- , therefore F and g are weakly compatible.
So, F and g have a unique coincidence point.
Remark 2.
Theorem 1 extended earlier results for nonlinear contractions on metric space obtained by J. Daneš [4], A. A. Ivanov [5], I. Aranđelović, M. Rajović and V. Kilibarda [6] and M. Bessenyei [7], common fixed-point results of K. M. Das, K. V. Naik [9] and C. Di Bari and P. Vetro [10]. Please note that contractive condition (1) was defined earlier by several authors; see for example [14].
4. The Common Endpoints for Hybrid Dynamical System
For an ordered pair we say that it is a set-valued dynamical system, where X is given space and a multivalued map.
If T is a single-valued mapping, we obtain the usual dynamical system.
If x is a strict fixed point of T, we say that x is an endpoint of dynamical system.
A sequence in X defined by is called a dynamical process or trajectory; see more about dynamical systems in the famous monographs [40,41].
Definition 4.
Let X be a nonempty set, and . Then is a hybrid dynamical system.
For a unique point of coincidence for T and g, we say that the endpoint (or stationary point) for hybrid dynamical system .
A sequence in X defined by is called a dynamical process or trajectory of the hybrid system .
From Theorem 1, we obtained the following result.
Theorem 2.
Let be hybrid dynamical system, where is a complete b-metric space and . Suppose that and that is a complete subspace of Y. If there exists , such that
for any , then hybrid dynamic system has an endpoint which is the limit of every dynamical process defined by F and g.
Therefore, from Theorem 1 we obtain the result for a dynamical system.
Let be a Hausdorff topological linear space. If there exists (see Köte [42]) a continuous function such that:
- (1)
- ;
- (2)
- if and only if ;
- (3)
- ;
- (4)
- there exists such that ,
for all , then is the quasi-normed space. Mapping is said to be a quasi-norm.
If is the quasi-normed space then is b-metric space, where for all . If is complete then is a quasi-Banach space.
Let be an interval, and be a set of functions defined on I, , and such that is quasi-Banach space, and . Then equation (see [43]),
where is the known control function, is the unknown Gateaux differentiable function (so-called state function) and the Gateaux derivate of x is equivalent with differential inclusion
for some . Therefore, for from Theorem 2 we obtained sufficient conditions for the existence of an endpoint of a hybrid dynamical system , which is also a solution of (14).
5. Conclusions
We obtained new results for the points of coincidence and fixed points in the hybrid pair of multivalued and single-valued mappings in b-metric spaces. We introduced five new nonlinear comparison functions. Our results generalize and improve several recent results in the literature. We also present the application of the obtained results in dynamical systems. We believe that our main result can be a starting point for new research in other generalized metric spaces.
