Abstract
The aim of this article is to establish some fixed point results for fuzzy mappings and derive some corresponding multivalued mappings results of literature. For this purpose, we define some new and generalized contractions in the setting of b-metric spaces. As applications, we find solutions of integral inclusions by our obtained results.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries
In 1981, Heilpern [1] utilized the approach of fuzzy set to initiate a family of fuzzy mappings which are extensions of multivalued mappings and obtained a result for these mappings in metric linear space. In this paper, we shall use the following notations which have been recorded from [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12].
A fuzzy set in is a function with domain and values in , is the collection of all fuzzy sets in If is a fuzzy set and , then the function values is called the grade of membership of in . The -level set of A is denoted by and is defined as follows:
Here denotes the closure of the set . Let be the collection of all fuzzy sets in a metric space
Czerwik [13] in 1993 extended the conception of metric space by initiating the notion of b-metric space and obtained the celebrated Banach fixed point theorem in this generalized metric space.
Definition 1.
A b-metric on a nonempty set is a function : such that these assertions hold:
for all , where .
The triple is said to be a b-metric space. Clearly, every metric space is a b-metric space whenever , but the converse need not be true.
Example 1
([13]). Let and defined by
for all . Clearly is a b-metric space, but not a metric space.
Example 2
([14]). Let and endowed with the function defined by
for each is a b-metric space with
Definition 2
([13]). Let is a b-metric space.
(i) A sequence in converges to if
(ii) A sequence in is a Cauchy sequence, if for each there exists a natural number such that for each
(iii) We say that is a complete if each Cauchy sequence in converges to some point of .
Definition 3
([15]). Let is a b-metric space. A subset is said to be open if and only if for any , there exists 0 such that the open ball . The family of all open subsets of will be denoted by
Proposition 1
([15]). τ defines a topology on .
Proposition 2
([15,16]). Let be a metric type space and τ be the topology defined above. Then for any nonempty subset , we have
(i) A is closed if and only if for any sequence in A which converges to , we have
(ii) if we define to be the intersection of all closed subsets of which contains A, then for any ∈ and for any , we have
Let denote the class of all non-empty and closed subsets of and , the class of non-empty, closed and bounded subsets of . Let and ,
For the function defined by
where
is said to be Hausdorff b-metric [14] induced by the b-metric .
We recall the following properties from [14,17]:
Lemma 1.
Let be a b-metric space. For any and any we have the following:
- (i)
- for any
- (ii)
- (iii)
- for any
- (iv)
- (v)
- (vi)
- (vii)
Furthermore, we will always assume that
- (viii))
- is continuous in its variables.
In 2012, Wardowski [18] initiated a new version of contractions which is named as F-contractions. Many researchers [19,20,21,22,23] established distinct fixed point results by utilizing these contractions. Cosentino et al. [24] used the wardowski’s approach in the setting of b-metric space defined as follows:
Definition 4.
Let denotes the collection of functions satisfying the properties:
- ()
- F is strictly increasing;
- ()
- ∀, ⟺
- ()
- ∃ such that
- ()
- for each sequence of positive numbers such that ∀ and some , then for all and
Throughout this paper, we assume that the functions which are continuous from the right.
On the other hand, Constantin [25] initiated a new collection of continuous functions satisfying these conditions:
- ()
- ()
- is sub-homogeneous, that is, for all and we have
- ()
- is a non-decreasing function, i.e, for we getand if then and
and obtained a random fixed point theorem for multivalued mappings.
The following lemma of [26] is needed in the the proof of our main result.
Lemma 2.
If and are such that
then
The purpose of this paper is to present some common -fuzzy fixed points for fuzzy mappings via F-contraction in complete b-metric space to extend the main result of Heilpern [1], Wardowski [18], Ahmad et al. [19], Sgroi et al. [21], Cosentino et al. [24] and Shahzad et al. [27] and some known results of literature.

3. Applications
Consider the integral inclusion of Fredholm
where a given multivalued operator, where represents the class of non-empty compact and convex subsets of Here are given and unknown functions.
Now, for , define b-metric on by
for all Then is a complete b-metric space.
We will assume the following:
(a) ∀ the operator is such that is lower semicontinuous in ,
(b) which is continuous such that
∀
(c) ∃ such that
Theorem 4.
Under the conditions (a)–(c), the integral inclusion (20) has a solution in .
Proof.
Let . Define the fuzzy mapping by
□
Let be arbitrary. For the multivalued operator it follows from the Michael’s selection theorem that there exists a continuous operator such that for each It follows that Hence It is an easy matter to show that is closed, and so details are omitted (see also [28]). Furthermore, as is continuous on and is continuous on , so their ranges are bounded. It follows that is also bounded. Thus
We will check that the contractive condition (19) holds for in with some and , i.e.,
for . For this, let then there exist such that Let be arbitrary such that
for holds. It means that ∀ such that
for For all , it follows from (b) that
It means that ∃ such that

Now, we can consider the multivalued operator U defined by
Hence, by (a), U is lower semicontinuous, it follows that there exists a continuous operator such that for Then satisfies that
That is and
Hence, we get
Interchanging the roles of and , we obtain that
By passing to logarithms, we write
Taking the function defined by for , we get that the assumption (18) is fulfilled. Using the result (9), we achieve that the integral inclusion (20) has a solution.
4. Conclusions
In this article, we have established some generalized common fixed point resultss for -fuzzy mappings in a connection with F- contraction and a family of continuous functions in the setting of complete b-metric spaces. The obtained results extended and improved various well-known results in literature including Heilpern [1], Wardowski [18], Ahmad et al. [19], Sgroi et al. [21], Cosentino et al. [24] and Shahzad et al. [27]. As applications, we analyzed the existence of approximate solutions for Fredholm integral inclusions. Our results are new and significantly contribute to the existing literature in fixed point theory. Similar generalizations of these contractions for the L-fuzzy mappings ) would be a distinctive subject for future study. One can apply our results in the solution of fractional differential inclusions as a future work.
