2 432 E. PĂRĂU and V. RADU Definiion.2 ([6]). The pair (X, F) which ha he properie (PM0) (PM2) i called a probabiliic f-meric rcre iff > 0 > 0 ch ha [ ] f F xz () <, f F zy () < f F xy () <. Remark.3. If (X, F) i a probabiliic f-meric rcre hen he family W f F :={Wɛ f } ɛ (0,f(0)), where Wɛ f :={(x, y) F xy(ɛ) > f (ɛ)}, i a niformiy bae which generae a niformiy on X called U F [6, p.46, Th..3.39]. We define he -norm generaed by f by: T f (a, b) = f ( )( ) f(a) + f(b) where f ( ) i he qai-invere of f, namely f ( ) (x) = { f (x), x f(0), 0, x > f(0). I i well known and eay o ee ha f f ( ) (x) x, x [0, ] and f ( ) f(a) = a, a [0, ]. In he nex ecion of hi noe we ll conrc generalized meric on Menger pace, relaed o ome idea which have appeared in [] and [4], and ing ome properie of he probabiliic f-meric rcre. In he la ecion, ing hi generalized meric, we ll obain a fixed poin heorem on complee Menger pace and we ll give ome coneqence. We ll give alo, a fixed poin alernaive in complee Menger pace. The noaion and he noion no given here are andard and follow [], [8]. 2 A generalized meric on probabiliic f-meric rcre Le f : [0, ] [0, ] a conino and ricly decreaing fncion, ch ha f() = 0. Lemma 2.. We conider a Menger pace (X, F, T ), where T T f. For each k > 0 le define d k (x, y) := p >0 k f F xy () d

If ρ k (x, y) = 0, hen for each > 0, f F xy () d = 0, > > 0. Since f F xy() f F xy() f F xy () 0 for each (, ), hen d = 0 which implie 0 = f F xy () d f F xy() ( ), > > 0, which implie f F xy () = 0, > 0. Since f i a icly decreaing fncion and f() = 0 hen F xy () =, > 0, ha i x = y. Becae (X, F, T ) i a Menger pace and T T f, we have ( ) ( ) F xy (+v) T F xz (), F zy (v) T f F xz (), F zy (v), x, y, z X,, v R. Le ake = α and v = β, where α, β (0, ), α + β =. Then F xy () f ( )( ) f F xz (α) + f F zy (β), and o x, y, z X, > 0, α, β (0, ), α + β =, ( ) f F xy () (f f ( ) ) f F xz (α) + f F zy (β) f F xz (α) + f F zy (β), x, y, z X, > 0, α, β (0, ), α + β =. We divide he boh member of ineqaliy by, inegrae from o m and mliply wih k, where > 0, m >, k > 0. We obain m k f F xy () m d k f F xz (α) m d + k f F zy (β) d, m>, >0.

We ppoe ha b < and c <. The ineqaliy (2.) become: a b α k + c β k = b α k + c, α (0, ), ( α) k ( b which implie a inf 0<α< α k + c ) ( α) k, α (0, ). We define he fncion g : (0, ) R +, g(α) = b α k + ha g ha a minimm in α 0 = Therefore and i i clear ha a b α k 0 + b k+ b k+ + c k+ (g (α 0 ) = 0). c ( α 0 ) k = (b k+ + c k+ ) k+ ρ k (x, y) = a k+ b k+ + c k+ = ρk (x, z) + ρ k (z, y). c. We oberve ( α) k Lemma 2.2. Le (X, F, T ) be a Menger pace wih T T f. Then U F U ρk. I can be hown ha p a< T (a, a) p T f (a, a) = and, ing a< [6, p.4, Th..3.22] we obain ha (X, F) i a probabiliic f-meric rcre. By ing Remark.3 i ffice o how ha (2.2) ɛ (0, f(0)), δ(ɛ): ρ k (x, y) < δ F xy (ɛ) > f (ɛ). We oberve ha ρ k (x, y) < δ p >0 We ake fixed, = ɛ 2 k > 0, f F xy () k d < δ k+ f F xy () d < δ k+ m = m >, > 0, k f F xy () and m = 2. I follow d < δ k+. ( ɛ k ɛ 2) ɛ 2 f F xy () d < δ k+.

RADU B ɛ F xy () F xy (ɛ) f F xy () f F xy (ɛ) f F xy() Therefore f F xy(ɛ). ɛ ( ɛ k ɛ 2) ɛ 2 f F xy (ɛ) ɛ d ( ɛ k ɛ 2) ɛ 2 f F xy () d < δ k+, ( ɛ k+ f F xy (ɛ) which implie <δ 2) k+. If we chooe δ = ɛ ɛ 2 we have f F xy(ɛ)<ɛ, which how ha he relaion (2.2) i aified for δ(ɛ) = ɛ 2. Lemma 2.3. If (X, F, T ) i a complee Menger pace nder T T f, hen (X, ρ k ) i complee. We ppoe ha (x n ) i a ρ k -Cachy eqence, ha i, (2.3) ɛ > 0, n 0 (ɛ): n n 0 (ɛ), p 0 ρ(x n, x n+p ) < ɛ. From Lemma 2.2 we have ha (x n ) i a U F -Cachy eqence. Since (X, F, T ) i a complee Menger pace, we obain ha (x n ) i a U F -convergen eqence, ha i x 0 X ch ha ɛ > 0, n (ɛ): n n (ɛ) F xnx 0 (ɛ) > f (ɛ). I remain o how ha (x n ) i a ρ k -convergen eqence. From (2.3) we obain ha ɛ lim ρ(x n, x n+p ) = lim p >0 lim k k f F xnx n+p () f F xnx n+p () d d, n n 0 (ɛ), > 0. By ing he Fao lemma and he coniniy of f we obain: ɛ lim k f F xnx n+p () = k d k lim f F xnx n+p () d = ( ) f lim F x nx n+p () d, n n 0 (ɛ), > 0.

7 TARDIFF S FIXED POINT THEOREM ON MENGER SPACES 437 I can be proved ha lim F xnx n+p () = F xnx 0 () (acally we ll e only he fac ha lim F xnx n+p () F xnx 0 ()) and he previo relaion become which implie ɛ k ρ k (x n, x 0 ) = p >0 Th he lemma i proved. f F xnx 0 () k d, n n 0 (ɛ), > 0, f F xnx 0 () d ɛ, n n 0 (ɛ). 3 A fixed poin heorem and ome coneqence I i well-known ha a mapping A : X X (where (X, F) i a PM-pace) i called -conracion if here exi L (0, ) ch ha F AxAy (L) F xy () for all R, for all x, y X. Lemma 3.. If (X, F) i a probabiliic f-meric rcre and A i an -conracion hen A i, for each k > 0, a ric conracion in (X, ρ k ). we have Since F AxAy (L) F xy () for ome L (0, ), and every real hen k f F AxAy (L) d k If we make L = in he lef ide, hen we obain L k (L)k L f F AxAy ()) Therefore, if we ake p obain ha >0 d k p >0 f F xy ()) k f F xy () d f F xy ()) d. d = d k (x, y), > 0. in he fir member of he above ineqaliy, hen we L k d k(ax, Ay) d k (x, y) and i i clear ha (3.) ρ k (Ax, Ay) L ρ k (x, y) where L = L k k+ (0, ) and he lemma i proved. Now, we can prove or main rel:

8 438 E. PĂRĂU and V. RADU Theorem 3.2. Le (X, F, T ) be a complee Menger pace wih T T f. If here exi ome k > 0 ch ha for every pair (x, y) X one ha (3.2) p >0 k f F xy () d <, hen every -conracion on X ha a niqe fixed poin. The relaion (3.2) how ha ρ k i a meric. From Lemma 3. we obain ha A i a ric conracion in (X, ρ k ). Le x X be an arbirary poin. From (3.) we have ha (A i x) i a U ρk -Cachy eqence. By ing he Lemma 2.3, we oberve ha (A i x) i a ρ k -convergen eqence o x 0. I i eay o ee ha x 0 i he niqe fixed poin of A. Corollary 3.3 (cf. [0]). Le (X, F, T ) be a complee Menger pace nder T T f, where f(0) < and ppoe ha for each pair (x, y) X 2 here exi xy for which F xy ( xy ) =. Then every -conracion on X ha a niqe fixed poin. Since for xy we have 0 k f F xy () k and for > xy we have k he heorem. d = k xy xy f F xy () f F xy () f F xy () d ( ) d k f(0) ln( xy ) ln() d = 0 hen (3.2) hold and we can apply Corollary 3.4 ([6]). Le (X, F, T ) be a complee Menger pace wih T T ch ha for ome k > 0 and every pair (x, y) X one ha (3.3) p >0 k F xy () d <. Then every -conracion on X ha a niqe fixed poin. We ake f() = f () = and we apply he heorem.

9 TARDIFF S FIXED POINT THEOREM ON MENGER SPACES 439 Corollary 3.5. Le (X, F, T ) be a complee Menger pace nder T T and ppoe ha here exi k > 0 ch ha every F xy ha a finie k-momen. Then every -conracion on X ha a niqe fixed poin. I i well-known ha (µ k ) k xy = k F xy () d and he corollary follow. k F xy() d = 0 k ( F xy ()) d <. Therefore k ( F xy ()) d (µ k ) k xy < Remark 3.6. For k = i can be obained a known rel (ee [, Corollary 2.2]). Generally from he fixed poin alernaive ([3]) we obain he following Theorem 3.7. Le (X, F, T ) be a complee Menger pace nder T T f and A an -conracion. Then for each x X eiher, i) here i ome k > 0 ch ha (A i x) i ρ k -convergen o he niqe fixed poin of A, or ii) for all k > 0, for all n N and for all M > 0 here exi := (k, n, M) ch ha k f F A n xa n+ x() d > M. We ppoe ha ii) i no re: k >0, n 0 >0, M >0, >0 ch ha k f F A n 0 xa n 0 + x () So, we have for ome k > 0, ρ k (A n 0 x, A n 0+ x) <. I follow ha p > 0, p ρ k (A n 0 x, A n0+p x) ρ k (A n0+p x, A n0+p+ x) i=0 d M. ( + L + L L p ) ρ k (A n 0 x, A n 0+ x) = Lp L ρ k (A n 0 x, A n 0+ x) ρ k(a n 0 x, A n 0+ x) L <,

10 440 E. PĂRĂU and V. RADU where L := L k k+ <. Therefore, he eqence of cceive approximaion, (A i x) i a ρ k -Cachy eqence. From Lemma 2.3 we obain ha (A i x) i ρ k -convergen and i i eay o ee ha he limi of he eqence (A i x) i he niqe fixed poin of A. REFERENCES [] Conanin, Gh. and Irăţec, I.
