Almost Boyd-Wong Type Contractions under Binary Relations with Applications to Boundary Value Problems

Abstract

This article is devoted to investigating the fixed point theorems for a new contracitivity contraction, which combines the idea involved in Boyd-Wong contractions, strict almost contractions and relational contractions. Our results improve and expand existing fixed point theorems of literature. In process, we deduce a metrical fixed point theorem for strict almost Boyd-Wong contractions. To demonstrate the credibility of our results, we present a number of a few examples. Applying our findings, we find a unique solution to a particular periodic boundary value problem.
