The purpose of this paper is to find out common fixed point results for two families of fuzzy mappings fulfilling generalized rational type A-dominated contractive conditions on a closed ball in complete dislocated b-metric space. Example is also given which shows the novelty of our results.
Fixed point theory plays a fundamental role in functional analysis. Nadler [17] started the investigation of fixed point results for the setvalued functions. Due to its significance, a large number of authors have proved many interesting multiplications of these results (see [1–35]).
Nazir et al. [18] showed common fixed point results for the family of generalized multivalued F-contraction mappings in ordered metric spaces. Recently Shoaib et al. [29] discussed some theorems for a family of setvalued functions. Rasham et al. [22] proved multivalued fixed point theorems for new F-contractive functions on dislocated metric spaces.
The notion about fuzzy sets was first presented by Zadeh [35]. Fuzzy sets have many applications in decision making (see [16, 40]). The idea about fuzzy mappings was given by Weiss [34] and Butnariu [5] and also obtained some interesting fixed point results. Afterward, Heilpern [8] established the idea of fuzzy contraction mappings and proved a fixed point theorem which was a generalization of Nadler’s [17] fixed point theorem for multivalued mappings.
In this paper, we have obtained common fixed point of two families of fuzzy mappings satisfying conditions only on a sequence. We have used more weaker class of strictly increasing mappings A rather than class of mappings F used by Wardowski [33]. Example is given to demonstrate the variety of our results. Moreover, we investigate our results in a more better framework of dislocated b-metric space. New results in ordered spaces, partial b-metric space, dislocated metric space, partial metric space, b-metric space and metric space can be obtained as corollaries of our results. We give the following concepts which will be helpful to understand the paper.
Let M be a nonempty set and let db : M × M → [0, ∞) be a function, if for any x, y, z ∈ M, the following conditions hold:
(i) db (x, y) ≤ b [db (x, z) + db (z, y)] ,
(where b≥ 1) ;
(ii) db (x, y) =0 implies x = y ;
(iii) db (x, y) = db (y, x) .
Then db is called a dislocated b-metric (or simply db-metric) and the pair (M, db) is called a dislocated b-metric space. It should be noted that every dislocated metric is a dislocated b-metric with b = 1 .
It is clear that if db (x, y) =0, then from (ii), x = y. But if x = y, db (x, y) may not be 0 . For x ∈ M and ɛ > 0, is a closed ball in (M, db) . We use D . B . M space instead dislocated b-metric space.
Let K be a nonempty subset of D . B . M space of M and let x ∈ M . An element y0 ∈ K is called a best approximation in K if
If each x ∈ X has at least one best approximation in K, then K is called a proximinal set. We denote P (M) be the set of all closed proximinal subsets of M .
Example
Let and let db : X × X → X be the complete dislocated b-metric on X defined by
with parameter b = 2 . Define a set A = [2, 3] , then for each x ∈ X
Hence 2 is a best approximation in A for each x ∈ X . Also [2, 3] is a proximinal set.
Let (M, db) be a D . B . M space. Let S : M → P (M) be multivalued mapping, α : M × M → [0, + ∞) and α∗ (i, Si) = inf {α (i, l) : l ∈ Si}. Let H ⊆ M, then S is said to be α∗-dominated on H, whenever α∗ (i, Si) ≥1 for all i ∈ H . If H = M, then we say that the S is α∗-dominated. If S : M → M is a self mapping, then S is α-dominated on H, whenever α (i, Si) ≥1 for all i ∈ H .
Let Define the mapping α : Z × Z → [0, ∞) by
Define S, T : Z → P (Z) by
Suppose j = 3 and k = 2.5 . As 3 > 2.5, then α (3, 2.5) ≥1 .Now, α∗ (S3, T2.5) = inf {α (a, b) : a ∈ S3, b ∈ T2.5} this means the pair (S, T) is not α∗-admissible. Also, α∗ (S3, S2) ≯1 and α∗ (T3, T2) ≯1 . This implies S and T are not α∗-admissible individually. Now, α∗ (j, Sj) = inf {α (j, b) : b ∈ Sj} ≥1, for all j ∈ Z . Hence S is α∗-dominated mapping. Similarly α∗ (k, Tk) = inf {α (k, b) : b ∈ Tk} ≥1 . Hence it is clear that S and T are α∗-dominated but not α∗-admissible.
Definition
A function from a nonempty M to [0, 1] is a fuzzy set. Let F (M) be a set of all fuzzy sets in M. If A is a fuzzy set and y ∈ M, then the function values A (y) is grade of membership of y in A . The γ-level set of fuzzy set A, is denoted by [A] γ, and defined as:
Let N be a metric space and M be any nonempty set. Let S be a mapping called fuzzy mapping, if S : M → F (M). Then, S is a fuzzy subset on M × N with membership function S (c1) (c2). The function S (c1) (c2) is the grade of membership of c2 in S (c1). For simplicity, we represent the γ-level set of S (c) by [Sc] γ instead of [S (c)] γ [31].
Let (M, db) be a D . B . M space. Let (P (M) , Hdb) be a dislocated Hausdorff b-metric space on P (M) . Then, for all G, H ∈ P (M) and for each g ∈ G such that db (g, H) = db (g, hg), where hg ∈ H . Then the following holds:
Main results
Let (M, db) be a D . B . M space, c0 ∈ M, let {Sσ : σ ∈ Ω} and {Tβ : β ∈ Φ} be two families of fuzzy mappings from M to F (M). Let c1 ∈ [Sac0] γ(c0) be an element such that db (c0, [Sac0] γ(c0)) = db (c0, c1) . Let c2 ∈ [Tbc1] γ(c1) be such that db (c1, [Tbc1] γ(c1)) = db (c1, c2) . Let c3 ∈ [Sac2] γ(c2) be such that db (c2, [Sac2] γ(c2)) = db (c2, c3) .
In this way, we get a sequence {TβSσ (cn)} in M, where
c2n+1 ∈ [Sic2n] γ(c2n), c2n+2 ∈ [Tjc2n+1] γ(c2n+1), i ∈ Ω and j ∈ Φ . Also
db (c2n, [Sic2n] γ(c2n)) = db (c2n, c2n+1) ,
db (c2n+1, [Tjc2n+1] γ(c2n+1)) = db (c2n+1, c2n+2) . Then, {TβSσ (cn)} is said to be a sequence in M generated by c0 . If {Sσ : σ ∈ Ω} = {Tβ : β ∈ Φ} , then we say {MSσ (cn)} instead of {TβSσ (cn)} .
Theorem
Let (M, db) be a complete D . B . M space with constant b ≥ 1. Let r > 0, α : M × M → [0, ∞) and {Sσ : σ ∈ Ω}, {Tβ : β ∈ Φ} be two families of α∗-dominated fuzzy mappings from M to F (M) on Suppose that the following satisfy:
i) There exist τ, μ1, μ2, μ3, μ4 > 0 satisfying bμ1 + bμ2 + (1 + b) bμ3 + μ4 < 1 and a strictly increasing mapping A such that
ii) If then
Then, {TβSσ (cn)} is a sequence in , α (cn, cn+1) ≥1 for all and Also, if u satisfies (2.1) and either α (cn, u) ≥1 or α (u, cn) ≥1 for all , then Sσ and Tβ have common fuzzy fixed point u in for all σ ∈ Ω and β ∈ Φ . Moreover, db (u, u) =0 .
Proof. Consider a sequence {TβSσ (cn)} . From (2.2), we get
It follows that,
Let for some . If j is odd, then for some . Since {Sσ : σ ∈ Ω} and {Tβ : β ∈ Φ} be two families of α∗-dominated fuzzy mappings on , so and for all σ ∈ Ω and β ∈ Φ . As this implies Also for some f ∈ Ω, so Also for some g ∈ Φ. Now by using Lemma 1.12, we have
This implies
As A is strictly increasing. So, we have
Which implies
As
Hence Similarly, if j is even, we have
Now, we have
Now,
μ1, μ2, μ3, μ4 > 0, b ≥ 1 and bμ1 + bμ2 + (1 + b) bμ3 + μ4 < 1, so |bη| < 1 . Then, we have
which implies Hence, by induction for all n ∈ N. Also α (cn, cn+1) ≥1 for all . Now,
Now, for any positive integers m, n (n > m), we have
Hence {TβSσ (cn)} is a Cauchy sequence in . Since is a complete metric space, so there exist such that {TβSσ (cn)} → u as n → ∞ , then
By assumption, α (cn, u) ≥1. Suppose that
db (u, [Tβu] γ(u)) >0, then there exists a positive integer k such that db (cn, [Tβu] γ(u)) >0 for all n ≥ k. For n ≥ k, we have
Now, there exists some e ∈ Ω such that c2n+1 ∈ [Sec2n] γ(c2n) and db (c2n, [Sec2n] γ(c2n)) = db (c2n, c2n+1). By using Lemma 1.12 and inequality (2.1), we have
Letting n → ∞ , and by using (2.5) we get
which is a contradiction. So our supposition is wrong. Hence db (u, [Tβu] γ(u)) =0 or u ∈ [Tβu] γ(u) for all β ∈ Φ . Similarly, by using Lemma 1.12 and inequality (2.1), we can show that db (u, [Sσu] γ(u)) =0 or u ∈ [Sσu] γ(u) for all σ ∈ Ω . Hence the Sσ and Tβ have a common fuzzy fixed point u in for all σ ∈ Ω and β ∈ Φ . Now,
This implies that db (u, u) =0 .
Example
Let M = Q+ ∪ {0} and let db : M × M → M be the complete D . B . M space defined by
with b = 2 . Define Sm, Tn : M × M → F (M) be two families of fuzzy mappings for Sm (u) , Tn (u) ∈ F (M) and λ, μ ∈ (0, 1] by
and
Consider, u0 = 1, r = 16, then Take
Now, So Now, So Now, So Continuing in this way, we have Take then bμ1 + bμ2 + (1 + b) bμ3 + μ4 < 1 and Now
Consider the mapping α : M × M → [0, ∞) by
Now, if with α (u, v) ≥1, we have
Thus,
which implies that, for any and for a strictly increasing mapping A (s) = ln s, we have
Thus all the conditions of Theorem 2.1 are satisfied. Hence Sσ and Tβ have a common fuzzy fixed point for all σ ∈ Ω and β ∈ Φ.
If, we take {Sσ : σ ∈ Ω} = {Tβ : β ∈ Φ} in Theorem 2.1, then we have the following result.

Then {Sσ (cn)} is a sequence in , α (cn, cn+1) ≥1 for all and Also, if u satisfies (2.6) and either α (cn, u) ≥1 or α (u, cn) ≥1 for all , then {Sσ : σ ∈ Ω} have common fuzzy fixed point u in . Moreover, db (u, u) =0 .
If, we take μ2 = 0 in Theorem 2.1, then we have the following result.

Then {TSσ (cn)} is a sequence in , α (cn, cn+1) ≥1 for all and Also, if u satisfies (2.7) and either α (cn, u) ≥1 or α (u, cn) ≥1 for all , then Sσ and Tβ have common fuzzy fixed point u in for all σ ∈ Ω and β ∈ Φ . Moreover, db (u, u) =0 .
If, we take μ3 = 0 in Theorem 2.1, then we have the following result.

Fixed Point Results For Multivalued Mappings
In this part of the paper, we proved that fixed point for multivalued mappings can be derived by utilizing Theorem 2.1 in dislocated b-metric space.
Theorem
Let (M, db) be a complete D . B . M space with constant b ≥ 1. Let r > 0, α : M × M → [0, ∞) and {Qσ : σ ∈ Ω}, {Rβ : β ∈ Φ} be two families of α∗-dominated multivalued mappings from M to P (M) on Suppose that the following satisfy:
i) There exist τ, μ1, μ2, μ3, μ4 > 0 satisfying bμ1 + bμ2 + (1 + b) bμ3 + μ4 < 1 and a strictly increasing mapping A such that
ii) If then
Then, {RβQσ (cn)} is a sequence in , α (cn, cn+1) ≥1 for all and Also, if u satisfies (3.1) and either α (cn, u) ≥1 or α (u, cn) ≥1 for all , then Qσ and Rβ have common fixed point u in for all σ ∈ Ω and β ∈ Φ . Moreover, db (u, u) =0 .
Proof. Consider an arbitrary mapping θ : M → (0, 1]. Consider {Sσ : σ ∈ Ω} and {Tβ : β ∈ Φ} be two family of fuzzy mappings from M to F (M) defined as
and
We obtain
and
So, the condition (3.1) reduced to (2.1) of Theorem 2.1. So, there is
Application to the systems of integral equations
Theorem
Let (X, db) be a complete D . B . M space with constant b ≥ 1. Let c0 ∈ X and {Sβ : β∈ Ω } be a family of mappings from X to X . Assume that, There exist τ, μ1, μ2, μ3, μ4 > 0 satisfying bμ1 + bμ2 + μ3 + μ4 < 1 and a strictly increasing mapping A such that the following holds:
for all x, y ∈ X and d (Sαx, Sβy) >0 where α, β ∈ Ω with α ≠ β . Also if the inequality (4.1) holds for u, then the family {Sβ : β∈ Ω } has a unique common fixed point m in X.
Proof: The proof of this Theorem is similar as Theorem 2.1. We have to prove the uniqueness only. Let w be another common fixed point of the family {Sβ : β ∈ Ω } . Suppose db (Sαm, Sβw) >0. Then, we have
This implies that
which is a contradiction. So db (Sαm, Sβw) =0 . Hence m = w .
In this section, we discuss the application of Theorem 4.1. Consider a system of Volterra type integral equations.
for all q, r ∈ [0, 1] and α ∈ Ω . We discuss about the unique common solution of (4.2). Let be the set of all real valued continuous functions on [0, 1], endowed with the complete dislocated b-metric. For define supremum norm as: , where τ > 0 is taken arbitrary. Then define
for all with these settings, becomes a complete D . B . M . S.
Now we prove the following theorem to ensure the existence of solution of integral equation.
Theorem
Assume the following conditions are satisfied:
(i) ;
(ii) Sα : X → P (X) where α ∈ Ω defined as
Suppose there exist τ > 0, such that
for all q, r ∈ [0, 1] and where
where μ1, μ2, μ3,μ4 ≥ 0, and bμ1 + bμ2 + μ3 + μ4 < 1 . Then integral equations given in (4.2) have a unique common solution.
Proof: By assumption (ii)
Which further implies
So all the conditions of Theorem 4.1 are satisfied for >0 and . Hence integral equations given in (4.2) have a unique common solution.
Conclusion and comparison
In the present paper, we have achieved fixed point results for a pair of families of fuzzy generalized A- dominated contractive mappings on an intersection of a closed ball and a sequence, which is a weaker class rather than class of mappings F used by Wardowski [33]. We have used α∗-dominated mappings which are more general than α∗-admissible mappings and showed that fixed point exists even if the contractive condition holds on subspaces rather than whole spaces. Moreover, we investigate our results in a more better framework. Examples and application are given to demonstrate the variety of our results. New results in ordered spaces, partial b-metric space, dislocated metric space, partial metric space, b-metric space and metric space can be obtained as corollaries of our results. Many fixed point results for families of multivalued and singlevalued contractive mappings can also be obtained as corollaries of our results. One can further extend our results to L-fuzzy mappings, bipolar fuzzy mappings and fuzzy neutrosophic soft mappings. Moreover applications in decision-making and fuzzy functional inclusions can be investigated (see [14, 36–40]).
