Abstract
Under the idea of a measure of noncompactness, some fixed point results are proposed and a generalization of Darbo’s fixed point theorem is given in this manuscript. Furthermore, some novel quadruple fixed points results via a measure of noncompactness for a general class of functions are presented. Ultimately, the solutions to a system of non-linear functional integral equations by the fixed point results obtained are discussed, and non-trivial examples to illustrate the validity of our study are derived.

1. Introduction
In the nonlinear analysis field, the fixed point technique is used to solve many mathematical problems as it is involved in differential and integral equations, integro-differential equations, fractional calculus, and other disciplines of science and technology; see [1,2,3,4,5,6,7].
In the finite-dimensional spaces, this technique was created by Brouwer [8] and is known as “Brouwer’s fixed point theorem (FPT)”. In 1922, the existence and uniqueness of this technique were studied in a contraction mapping via a complete metric space, known as the “Banach contraction principle [9]”. From this moment, the technique acquired special elegance and entered many important applications. For infinite-dimensional spaces under the stipulation of compactness on a set and equivalently on the operator, the results of Brouwer were generalized by Schauder [10].
A measure of noncompactness (MNC) is a very important tool in non-linear functional analysis, especially when dealing with metric and topological fixed point theory. In 1930, Kuratowski first introduced an MNC in [11] as follows:
where is a bounded set and is defined by:
To discuss the existence of fixed point theorems (FPTs) via an MNC for condensing operators, a nice paper was written by Darbo [12]. His results are a generalization of the classical Banach and Schauder FPTs, and he used the theoretical study to present the solutions to differential and integral equations. For more published papers that generalized the results of Darbo and more applications, see [13,14,15,16,17,18,19].
Darbo’s FPT was generalized to coupled and tripled fixed points (FPs) by Rashan [20] and Karakaya et al. [21], respectively. Motivated by these results, here, we generalize Darbo’s FPT, and as a consequence, we obtain the existence of QFPs. Here, we use the following symbols:
- Via a norm Z refers to a Banach space (BS),
- At the center and radius is a closed ball,
- The algebraic operations on sets take the form and where and
- refers to the closure of a set Q,
- and stand for the convex hull and closed convex hull of Q, respectively,
- symbolizes the collection of all bounded nonempty subsets of a BS
- is a subfamily composed of all relatively compact subsets of Z,
- is a nonempty, closed, bounded, and convex (NCBC) subset of a BS
In this manuscript, the existence of the solution of nonlinear functional integral equations in the Banach space under the technique of a measure of noncompactness is obtained. Furthermore, some quadruple fixed point results that generalize Darbo’s fixed point theorem are given. Ultimately, some examples to illustrate our study are included.
2. Preliminaries
Now, we recall some of the elementary useful results in our study.
Definition 1.
[22] A function is called an MNC in Z if the stipulations below are fulfilled:

The idea of coupled fixed points and mixed-monotone functions in partially ordered metric spaces was first introduced in paper [24]. Under abstract spaces, some main consequences in the same lines have been incorporated (see, for example, [25,26,27,28,29]).

Theorem 3.
[20] Let be an NCBC subset of a BS Z and ℧ be an arbitrary MNC on Consider as in Lemma 1 and Assume that is a continuous function satisfying:

In 2011, triple fixed points (TFPs) were initiated in [21,31] for self-mappings in partially ordered metric spaces and condensing operators in Banach spaces. Nice results are given by these points. For instance, see [32,33,34,35].
Definition 5.
[21,31] Assume that is a given mapping. We say that is a tripled FP of if , and
Karapinar [36] initiated the idea of quadruple fixed points (QFPs) as a generalization of TFPs. He presented some fixed point results on the topic. Following this study, a QFP is upgraded, and some related fixed point consequences were shown in [37,38,39,40].
Definition 6.
[36] Assume that is a given mapping, we say that is a QFP of if , , and

Proof.
Consider , and define a sequence
Firstly, we note that:
Secondly, similarly, . Now, if then which leads to:
Hence, we conclude that the sequence is a non-increasing of ; thus, there is a constant so that We shall illustrate that Let us suppose that Then, it holds by (2), and we get:
which is a contradiction; so, we get Since then by the stipulation of Definition 1, we obtain that is an NCC, invariant via ℑ, and contained in Thus, Theorem 1 tells us that the mapping ℑ has an FP in
Next, assume that ∇ is the set of all FPs of If then by (1), one can write:
which is a contradiction since Thus, and this leads to the fact that ∇ is relatively compact.
Finally, consider to be a convergent sequence so that , and since is closed, then we get Furthermore, ℑ is continuous, so we can write and , which leads to . Therefore, ∇ is a compact set. □

4. Supportive Application
We shall dedicate this part to using the results of Corollary 1 to study the existence of solutions to a system of FIEsin the form of:
Before discussing the above system, we will introduce some important elementary results.
The modulus of continuity of on the closed interval is denoted by and defined as:
for each and so we can write , and
Consider to a BS, which consists of all bounded and continuous real-valued functions on and endowed with Define an MNC [20,21,22] on by:
where, for a non-negative fixed
and
Now, we return to define the formulas and functions in our system as follows:
- a function is bounded continuous with

- the functions and are continuous, and for a nondecreasing continuous function with and , we have:and:for all for and for each
- the function is continuous with , and there are , so thatfor each
- the functions and are bounded on that is:the function is continuous, and there is a positive so that:where:for all and:uniformly with respect to
According to the above stipulations, we present our theorem of this part as follows:
Theorem 7.
Via assumptions System (8) has at least one solution in
Proof.
Define the operator by:
and the space is endowed with the norm below:
It is clear that finding a QFP of ℵ (12) is equivalent to solving the system (8), and is a continuous function for any To finish the proof, we need to fulfill the stipulations of Corollary 1. Firstly, we show that ℵ is well defined. Therefore, by the triangle inequality and Assumptions –, we have:
Thus, ℵ is well defined, and we can write where
Secondly, we show that is continuous. Let , and arbitrary. Suppose that:
then, one can write:
Equation (11) leads to there being , so that if , then:
for each Here, there are two cases:
Case 2. If then similarly, we can write:
where and:
The continuity of C on leads to thus, using the continuity of we have:
Therefore, by the two cases, we conclude that ℵ is a continuous function.
Next, we prove that:
where For this, let be arbitrary nonempty subsets of and with Without loss of generality, consider and for each we get:
For simplicity, we use the following formulas:
Since is arbitrary, then we have:
Since and V are uniform continuous on the compact sets and , respectively, we have:
Furthermore, the uniform continuity of , and O on leads to:
Additionally, by the definition of with and finite, we get:
Hence, passing the limit as in (18), one gets:
When in (19), we can write:
Finally, we prove that the stipulation (7) of Corollary 1 is fulfilled. Consider , to be arbitrary elements and , then by (13), we have:
This implies that:
Now, since is continuous, non-negative, and by property it must hold that Thus:
Now, define which is still an MNC, and by (9), we get:
Therefore, by Corollary 1, ℵ has at least one QFP in This ends the proof. □
5. Illustrative Example

- It is easy to see that , , and Furthermore, we can write:
similarly,
Thus, we find that the hypotheses and are satisfied.
6. Conclusions
In nonlinear functional analysis, measures of noncompactness have many applications, especially in metric and topological fixed point theory. This technique allows us to obtain the existence solution of functional integral equations. In Banach algebras, functional integral equations are considered in complicated form, and a well-developed system is required to study this type of equation. Therefore, in our manuscript, the technique is successfully applied to obtain the solution of these equations in a Banach space. Furthermore, some quadruple fixed points consequences with illustrative examples are derived.
