Arithmetic-geometric mean, additive, and multiplicative contractions: New generalizations of the Banach contraction principle

Abstract

We introduce new contraction conditions based on classical inequality between arithmetic and geometric means. By incorporating an auxiliary semimetric $δ$, we define arithmetic-geometric mean, multiplicative-type, and additive-type contractions. Connections between these types of contractions are found. Fixed point theorems are proved in the case of continuity of the above mentioned contractions. Under suitable regularity conditions on $δ$ (such as being d-regular, strongly d-regular, or d-lower bounded) we obtain constructive corollaries. Various examples demonstrating our results are constructed. It is shown that with certain caveats fixed point theorem for additive-type mappings is equivalent to the fixed point theorem for perturbed metric spaces, which were recently introduced by M. Jleli and B. Samet.
