A new class of unsaturated mappings: Ćirić-Reich-Rus contractions

Abstract

Using the technique of enriching contractive type mappings, we introduce a more general concept of enriched Ćirić-Reich-Rus contraction than the one studied in [Berinde, V.; Păcurar, M. Fixed point theorems for enriched Ćirić-Reich-Rus contractions in Banach spaces and convex metric spaces. Carpathian J. Math. 37 (2021), no. 2, 173–184.] and provide convergence results for the Krasnoselskij iterative algorithm used to approximate their fixed points. Examples to illustrate the effectiveness of the new results as well as comparison to other classes of contractive type mappings existing in literature are also presented. In this context, we also conclude that Ćirić-Reich-Rus contractions form a class of unsaturated mappings.
