Description
Summary:Fixed point theory is one of the most powerful tools in nonlinear analysis. The Banach contraction principle is the simplest and most versatile elementary result in fixed point theory. The principle has many applications and was extended by several authors. In this paper, we introduce a concept of α–ψ-contractive type mappings and establish fixed point theorems for such mappings in complete fuzzy metric spaces. Starting from the Banach contraction principle, the presented theorems are the extension, generalization, and improvement of many existing results in the literature. Some example and application to ordinary differential equations are given to illustrate the usability of obtained results.
