Ćirić-generalized contraction via wt−distance

(Publisert i Applied General Topology, vol 24 nr. 2, 2023)

In this paper, besides other things, we introduce the concept of Ćirić-generalized contractions via wt−distance and then we prove some new fixed point results for these mappings, which generalize and improve fixed point theorems by L. B. Ćirić and B. E. Rhoades. Some examples illustrate usefulness of the new results. At the end, we give some applications to nonlinear fractional differential equations.
