Three point analogue of \'Ciri\'c-Reich-Rus type mappings with non-unique fixed points

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a three-point analogue of \'Ciri\'c-Reich-Rus type mappings, termed as generalized \'Ciri\'c-Reich-Rus type mappings. We demonstrate that these mappings generally exhibit discontinuity within their domain of definition but necessitate continuity at their fixed points. We showcase the existence and non-uniqueness of fixed points for these generalized \'Ciri\'c-Reich-Rus type mappings. By imposing additional conditions, specifically asymptotic regularity and continuity, we extend the applicability of fixed-point theorems to a broader class of mappings. Finally, we obtain two fixed point theorems for generalized \'Ciri\'c-Reich-Rus type mappings in metric spaces that are not necessarily complete.
