In this paper we consider complete cone metric spaces We generalize some definitions such as
c-nonexpansive and c, λ-uniformly locally contractive functions f-closure, c-isometric in cone
metric spaces, and certain fixed point theorems will be proved in those spaces Among other results, we prove some interesting applications for the fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces Copyrightq 2008 P Raja and S M Vaezpour This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited
1 Introduction
The study of fixed points of functions satisfying certain contractive conditions has been at the center of vigorous research activity, for example see 1 5 and it has a wide range of applications in different areas such as nonlinear and adaptive control systems, parameterize estimation problems, fractal image decoding, computing magnetostatic fields in a nonlinear medium, and convergence of recurrent networks, see 6 10 Recently, Huang and Zhang generalized the concept of a metric space, replacing the set of real numbers by an ordered Banach space and obtained some fixed point theorems for mapping satisfying different contractive conditions 11 The study of fixed point theorems in such spaces is followed
by some other mathematicians, see 12–15 The aim of this paper is to generalize some
definitions such as c-nonexpansive and c, λ-uniformly locally contractive functions in these
spaces and by using these definitions, certain fixed point theorems will be proved
Let E be a real Banach space A subset P of E is called a cone if and only if the following
hold:
i P is closed, nonempty, and P / {0},
ii a, b ∈ R, a, b 0, and x, y ∈ P imply that ax by ∈ P,
iii x ∈ P and −x ∈ P imply that x 0.
Trang 2Given a cone P ⊂ E, we define a partial ordering with respect to P by x y if and only if y − x ∈ P We will write x < y to indicate that x y but x / y, while x y will stand for y − x ∈ int P, where int P denotes the interior of P.
The cone P is called normal if there is a number K > 0 such that 0 x y implies
||x|| K||y||, for every x, y ∈ E The least positive number satisfying above is called the normal constant of P
There are non-normal cones
R0, 1 with the norm ||f|| ||f||∞ ||f||∞, and consider the cone
P {f ∈ E : f 0} For each K 1, put fx x and gx x 2K Then, 0 g f, ||f|| 2,
and||g|| 2K 1 Since K||f|| < ||g||, K is not normal constant of P 16
In the following, we always suppose E is a real Banach space, P is a cone in E with int P / ∅, and is partial ordering with respect to P.
Let X be a nonempty set As it has been defined in11, a function d : X × X → E is called a cone metric on X if it satisfies the following conditions:
i dx, y 0, for every x, y ∈ X, and dx, y 0 if and only if x y,
ii dx, y dy, x, for every x, y ∈ X,
iii dx, y dx, z dy, z, for every x, y, z ∈ X.
ThenX, d is called a cone metric space.
the normal constant of P is equal to 116
The sequence{x n } in X is called to be convergent to x ∈ X if for every c ∈ E with 0 c, there is n0 ∈ N such that dx n , x c, for every n n0, and is called a Cauchy sequence if
for every c ∈ E with 0 c, there is n0 ∈ N such that dx m , x n c, for every m, n n0 A cone metric spaceX, d is said to be a complete cone metric space if every Cauchy sequence
in X is convergent to a point of X A self-mapT on X is said to be continuous if lim n→∞x n x
implies that limn→∞T x n Tx, for every sequence {x n } in X The following lemmas are
useful for us to prove our main results
Lemma 1.3 see 11, Lemma 1 Let X, d be a cone metric space, P be a normal cone with normal
Lemma 1.4 see 11, Lemma 3 Let X, d be a cone metric space, {xn } be a sequence in X If {x n}
is convergent, then it is a Cauchy sequence, too.
Lemma 1.5 see 11, Lemma 4 Let X, d be a cone metric space, P be a normal cone with
limm,n→∞d x m , x n 0.
The following example is a cone metric space, see11
d x, y |x − y|, α|x − y|, where α 0 is a constant Then X, d is a cone metric space.

Then f is said to be c-nonexpansive, for 0 c, if
for every x, y ∈ X with dx, y c If we have
for every x, y ∈ X with x / y and dx, y c, then f is called c-contractive.

said to be a c-isometric sequence if
dx m k , x n k
for all k, m ∈ N with dx m , x n < c A point x ∈ X is said to generate a c-isometric sequence under the function f : X → X, if {f n x} is a c-isometric sequence.
Theorem 2.4 Let X, d be a cone metric space, where P is a normal cone with normal constant K.
{m j } ⊆ N such that lim j→∞f m j x x.
f m y x, for some m ∈ N Put m j n j − mn j > m , is a sequence as desired, then {m j} is
a sequence with desired property Otherwise, for > 0, fix δ, 0 < δ < Choose c ∈ E with
0 c and K||c|| < δ Then there is i ic such that
for every j ∈ N ∪ {0} So by c-nonexpansivity of f and putting j 0, we have
f n i k −n i x, f n i k y< c
for every k∈ N Therefore,
f n i y, f n i k y dx, f n i y dx, f n i k y c
for every k∈ N Hence,
x, f n i1−n i x dx, f n i y df n i y, f n i1y df n i1y, f n i1−n i x< c

f m x, f n x− df m n j x, f n n j x c. 2.16
It means that

that is a contradiction by 2.12, for n j max{n i , k } Therefore, p 0 and the proof is
complete
The following corollary implies immediately
Corollary 2.6 Let X, d be a cone metric space, where P is a normal cone with normal constant K.
Trang 53 Extended contraction principle
We have the following generalized form of Banach’s contraction for cone metric spaces
Theorem 3.1 see 11, Theorem 1 Let X, d be a complete cone metric space, P be a normal cone
x ∈ X, the sequence {T n x} converges to the fixed point.
It is natural to ask whether the mentioned theorem could be modified if3.1 holds for just sufficiently close points To be more specific, we introduce the following definitions
contractive, if for every x ∈ X there is c ∈ X with 0 c and 0 λ < 1 such that
for every p, q ∈ {y ∈ X : dx, y c} A function f : X → X is said to be c, λ-uniformly locally contractive if it is locally contractive and both c and λ do not depend on x.
It is easy to find cone metric spaces which admit locally contractive which are not globally contractive
x, y | x cos t, y sin t; 0 t 3π

and P {x, y ∈ E | x, y 0}, and d : X × X → E such that dx, y |x − y|, α|x − y|, where α 0 is a constant It is easily checked that X, d is a cone metric space Suppose that
f cos t, sin t cost/2, sint/2 It is not hard to see that f is locally contractive but not
globally contractive
Note that every locally contractive function is c-nonexpansive for some c 0
there is a finite set of points a x0, x1, , x n b, n depends on both a and b, such that
d x i−1, x i < c, for i, 1 i n.

is complete, then limm→∞f m x z, for some z ∈ X From the continuity of f it follows that
f z z To complete the proof it is enough to show that z is the unique point with this property To do this, suppose that there is z∈ X such that fz z Let z x0, x1, , x t z

then f has a unique fixed point.
Proof It is an immediate consequence of the fact that for the inverse function all assumptions
of theTheorem 3.6are satisfied
In the following theorem we investigate a kind of functions which are not necessarily contractions but have a unique fixed point First, we will prove the following lemma which will be used later

such that
there is s ∈ N ∪ {0} such that snx < n s 1nx and we have
