1. Introduction
The fixed point theory centers on the process of solving the equation of the form . One of the most widely used theory is Banach fixed point theory and its several extensions in generalized metric spaces. Therefore, fixed point theory on partially ordered sets has been studied recently in [1, 3, 8, 10, 11, 13]. For example, fixed point theorems for nonlinear and semi-linear operators on order intervals [1], coupled fixed point theorems [9] and extended the theoretical results to fixed points in partially sets [10] etc. On the other hand, given non-empty subsets
and
of the partially ordered set
and a non-self mapping
from
to
, one can perceive that the equation
is improbable to have a solution. Naturally, best proximity point theorems on partially ordered set are also be studied in [4, 5, 6, 7].
It is well-known that those abstract results can be applied to obtain an abundance of concrete results for some special problems, for instance, (a) differential and difference equation; (b) integral equation; (c) periodic boundary value problems. The purpose of this paper is to obtain the existence of solution of the integral equation for mixed monotone, contractions in the setting of partially ordered sets endowed with metrics. It is remarked that the unique solution of integral equations in this paper are established in the setting of ordered metric spaces whereas the fixed point theorems in [1, 3, 9, 12] are elicited in the framework of fixed point theorems on partially ordered metric space.
2. Fixed Point Theorems in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces
Definition 2.1 [2] Let be a partially ordered set,
be a mapping. If
, then
is said to have the monotone increasing property.
Let be a partially ordered set and suppose
is a complete metric space. Let
be an increasing and continuous mapping. The following Theorems establish the fact that the contractive nature of
is not restricted to the entire set
but only restricted to the comparable elements of
.
Definition 2.2 [14] Let be a set and let
be a given real number. A functional
is said to be a
-metric if the following conditions are satisfied:
1. if and only if
;
2. ,for all
;
3. .
A pair is called a
-metric space.
Theorem 2.1 [10] If there exists with
, whenever
and there exists
, with
, then
has a fixed point.
Theorem 2.2 [11] Assume that there exist upper and lower bounds of the pair for any
If there exists
with
, whenever
and there exists
, with
or
, then
has a unique fixed point
. Moreover, for any
, the orbit
converges to the fixed point
.
Let ,
, we define the following order relation in
, for
, then
is a partially ordered set. Define the metric on
as the follow:
![]() |
then is a complete metric space.
Next, we consider the existence of solutions for the following integral equation for an unknown function (see [3]):
![]() | (1) |
where
are given continuous functions.
Let be the set
of real continuous functions on
. It is easy to check that
is a complete metric space. Define a mapping
by
![]() | (2) |
Then is a solution of
if and only if it is a fixed point of
.
Theorem 2.3 Consider the integral equation under the following assumptions:
;
for all
, if
, then
;
;
or
Then has a unique solution
. Moreover, for any
, the orbit
converges to the solution
.
Proof. Let , then
![]() |
It implies that . So
is an increasing and continuous mapping.
![]() |
![]() |
Obviously, there exist upper and lower bounds of the pair for any
. Hence, all conditions of Theorem 2.2 are fulfilled. This means that
has a unique solution
.
Moreover, for any , the orbit
converges to the solution
.
Next we present an example as follows.
Example 2.1 In the integral equation , let
,
,
,
,
,
. Then
become
![]() | (3) |
Let , then
. Now, all conditions of Theorem 2.3 are satisfied. On the other hand, we can easy to solve the integral equation
and the unique solution is
.
3. Coupled Fixed Point Theorems in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces
Now, we endow the product space with the partial order as the following:
![]() |
Definition 3.1 [2] Let be a partially ordered set,
be a mapping. If
is monotone increasing in
and is monotone decreasing in
, that is, for any
, if
and
and if
and
imply
![]() |
Thus we say that has the mixed monotone property.
Definition 3.2 [2] We call an element a coupled fixed point of the mapping
, if
.
Theorem 3.1 [2] Let be a continuous mapping satisfy the mixed monotone property on
. Assume that there exists
with
![]() |
If there exists such that
and
.
Then, there exist such that
and
.
Theorem 3.2 [2] In addition to the hypothesis of Theorem 3.1, suppose that ever pair of elements of has an upper bound or a lower bound in
, then
.
We assume that and
are related by the relation
.
Next, we will study the existence of a unique solution to the integral equation , as an application to the fixed pointed Theorem 3.2.
Let , then
is a partially ordered set if we define the following order relation in
:
and
, for
,
and for all
.
Consider the integral equation under the following assumptions:
;
there exists
, for all
,
if , then
Let
![]() |
then and
Define by
![]() | (4) |
Now, we will show that has the mixed monotone property. Indeed, for
, that is
, for all
, we have
![]() |
![]() |
Hence, for
, that is,
Similarly, if
, that is
, for all
, we have
![]() |
Hence, for
, that is,
.
Thus is monotone increasing in
and is monotone decreasing in
.
Now, for , that is,
for all
, we have
![]() |
Assume that
there exists
such that
and
.
Theorem 3.3 Suppose the integral equation satisfy
, then
has a unique solution
.
Proof. From the above analysis and Theorem 3.2, we can immediately obtain the result.
Example 3.1 In integral equation , let
![]() |
then become
![]() | (5) |
Let , then
satisfy
.
![]() |
![]() |
Then
![]() |
Let , then
and
.
So, all conditions of Theorem 3.3 are fulfilled. This means that has a unique solution
.
Next, we will study the existence of a unique solution to the following system of integral equation as another application of the fixed pointed Theorem 3.2.
![]() | (6) |
where .
A solution of the above system is a pair satisfying the above relations for all
.
We consider endowed with the partial order relation:
![]() |
We will also consider the following metric on :
![]() |
Notice that is a metric and
can be represented by using the supermum type norm
![]() |
Then we have the following existence and uniqueness result.
Theorem 3.4 Consider the integral system under the following assumptions:
(1) and
are continuous and
is integrable with respect to the first variable.
(2) has the generalized mixed monotone property with respect to the last two variables for all
.
(3) There exist in
such that for each
with
and
(or reversely), we have
![]() |
for each .
(4) ,
![]() |
(5) There exist such that
![]() |
or
![]() |
for all .
Then there exists a unique solution of the system
.
Proof. We can prove that all the assumptions of Theorem 3.2 are satisfied. We define by
![]() |
for each .
Then system can be written as a couple fixed point problem for
:
![]() |
First, we will show that has the mixed monotone property. Indeed, for
, that is
, for all
, we have
![]() |
Hence, for all
, that is ,
.
Similarly, if , that is
, for all
, we have
for all
, that is,
.
Then, for all and
or (
and
), we have
![]() |
We see that all the assumptions of Theorem 3.2 are satisfied and the conclusion follows.
Next, we conclude our work by an example.
Example 3.2 In integral equations system , let
,
Then (6) become
![]() | (7) |
![]() |
Then

-metric space with

Theorem 4.2 Consider the nonlinear coupled system . Suppose that the following conditions hold:

( or reversely), we have
![]() |
;
, where
.
There exists
,
such that
![]() |
for all.
Then, there exists a pair coupled solution for system
.
Proof. We can prove that all the assumptions of Theorem 4.1 are satisfied. Define :
by
![]() |
for each . Then system
can be regarded as a couple fixed point question of
:
![]() |
In the first place, we will prove that has the mixed monotone property. For

![]() |
Thus, for every element
. Similarly, we can know that
![]() |
Then, for all and
or (
and
), we have
![]() |
![]() |
where
![]() |
From the above proof, we find that all the assumptions of Theorem 4.1 are satisfied.
