Fixed point theorems for Geraghty-type mappings applied to solving nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations in modular G-metric spaces

Abstract

PurposeThe authors prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed point of mappings satisfying Geraghty-type contractions in the setting of preordered modular G-metric spaces. The authors apply the results in solving nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm-type integral equations. The results extend generalize compliment and include several known results as special cases.Design/methodology/approachThe results of this paper are theoretical and analytical in nature.FindingsThe authors prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed point of mappings satisfying Geraghty-type contractions in the setting of preordered modular G-metric spaces. apply the results in solving nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm-type integral equations. The results extend, generalize, compliment and include several known results as special cases.Research limitations/implicationsThe results are theoretical and analytical.Practical implicationsThe results were applied to solving nonlinear integral equations.Social implicationsThe results has several social applications.Originality/valueThe results of this paper are new.
