Abstract

:
The purpose of this paper is to develop some fuzzy fixed point results for the sequence of locally fuzzy mappings satisfying rational type almost contractions in complete dislocated metric spaces. We apply our results to obtain new results for set-valued and single-valued mappings. We also study the stability of fuzzy fixed point γ -level sets. An example is presented in favor of these results.

1. Introduction

The idea of a fuzzy set was given by Lotfi Zadeh for the first time in 1965 [1]. This concept has been extended in fuzzy functional analysis, fuzzy topology, fuzzy control theory and decision making. One of the significant developments of fuzzy sets in fuzzy functional analysis is fuzzy mapping presented by Weiss [2] and Butnariu [3]. One of the branches of functional analysis is fixed point theory. Fixed point theory plays a key role in finding solutions to mathematical and engineering problems. The fixed point results for multivalued mappings generalizes the results for single valued mappings. Heilpern [4] established a result to obtain fixed point for fuzzy mappings and generalized Nadler’s fixed point result [5] for multivalued mappings. Since then a lot of work has been done by various authors in this field, see [6,7].
Stability is an idea to obtain an approximate solution of such equations which cannot have an exact solution. It has applications in nonlinear continuous and discrete dynamical systems [8,9]. The stability of fixed points is a study about the relationship between the fixed points of certain mappings and the limit of the sequence of those mappings. It has been extensively studied in various aspects [10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17]. Since the set valued mappings usually give more than one fixed points than the self mappings [5,18,19], so the set of fixed points for set valued mappings becomes more interesting for the study of stability. The sequence of sets F ( A j ) j N containing fixed points of a sequence of multivalued mappings A j j N are called stable if F ( A j ) F ( A ) in the Hausdorff metric, where the mapping A is the limit of the sequence A j j N and F ( A ) is the set of fixed points of A.
Recently, Alansari et al. [20] initiate the study of stability and well-posedness of functional inclusions involving fuzzy set-valued maps. In this sequel, we establish fixed point results for fuzzy mappings in complete dislocated metric space satisfying a rational type of almost contractions only for the elements in a closed ball. An example is also given which supports the proved results. We also discuss the stability of fuzzy fixed point sets of above mentioned multivalued contractions. We present some definitions and results which will be helpful in the article.

2. Preliminaries

In this section, we will recall some specific notations, definitions and results which are needed in the article. All of these preliminaries are taken from Nawab et al. [21], Azam [6], and Shoaib et al. [22]. Throughout this paper, N and R represent the sets of natural and real numbers, respectively. Let S be a universe of discourse of all parameters and δ l is called dislocated metric over the set S.
Definition 1
([21]). Let S be a nonempty set and δ l : S × S [ 0 , ) , be a real valued function. Then, the function δ l called dislocated metric (or simply δ l -metric), if for any l 1 , l 2 , l 3 S , the following hold:
(i) If δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) = 0 , then l 1 = l 2 ;
(ii) δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) = δ l ( l 2 , l 1 ) ;
(iii) δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) δ l ( l 1 , l 3 ) + δ l ( l 3 , l 2 )
The pair ( S , δ l ) is called a δ l metric space. It can be seen that if δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) = 0 , then by (i) l 1 = l 2 . But if l 1 = l 2 , then δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) is not necessarily 0.
Example 1
([21]). If S = Q + { 0 } , and δ l : S × S [ 0 , ) then δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) = l 1 + l 2 is a δ l -metric on S.
Definition 2
([23]). Let C B ( S ) denotes the collection of all nonempty closed and bounded subsets of a set S . The function H δ l : C B ( S ) × C B ( S ) R + , defined by
H δ l ( C , E ) = max sup c C D l ( c , E ) , sup e E D l ( C , e )
is called δ l Hausdorff metric on C B ( S ) , where
D l ( c , E ) = inf δ l ( c , e ) : e E .
Definition 3
([22]). A fuzzy set T is a function from S to [ 0 , 1 ] , F l ( S ) is the set of all fuzzy sets in S. The function values T ( l ) is called the grade of membership of l in T if T is a fuzzy set and l S . The γ-level set of fuzzy set T , is denoted by [ T ] γ , and defined as:
[ T ] γ = { l : T ( l ) γ } w h e r e γ ( 0 , 1 ] , [ T ] 0 = { l : T ( l ) > 0 } ¯ .
Suppose that S is a nonempty set and Z be a δ l metric, then A : S F l ( Z ) is a fuzzy mapping. A fuzzy mapping A is a fuzzy subset on S × Z with membership function A ( l ) ( z ) . The function A ( l ) ( z ) is the grade of membership of z in A ( l ) . For convenience, we denote the γ-level set of A ( l ) by [ A l ] γ instead of [ A ( l ) ] γ .
Definition 4
([6]). A point l S is called a fuzzy fixed point of a fuzzy mapping A : S F l ( S ) if there exists γ ( 0 , 1 ] such that l [ A l ] γ .
Lemma 1
([22]). Let U and V be nonempty closed and bounded subsets of a δ l metric space ( S , δ l ) . If u U , then
δ l ( u , V ) H δ l ( U , V ) .
Lemma 2
([22]). Let ( S , δ l ) be a δ l metric space. Let ( C B ( S ) , H δ l ) be a δ l Hausdorff metric space. Then, for all U , V C B ( S ) and for each u U , there exists v u V satisfies
δ l ( u , V ) = δ l ( u , v u ) ,
then,
H δ l ( U , V ) δ l ( u , v u ) .

3. Main Results

Theorem 1.
Let ( S , δ l ) be a complete δ l metric space and A : S F l ( S ) be a fuzzy mapping. Suppose ψ : R + { 0 } [ 0 , ) is a continuous and nondecreasing function with n = 1 ψ n ( s ) < and ψ ( s ) < s for each s > 0 . Assume that l 0 be any point in S, γ : S ( 0 , 1 ] be a mapping and there exists a real number M 0 satisfying the following:
H δ l ( [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ψ max δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) 2 , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) + M min D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) .
for all l 1 , l 2 B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ , σ > 0 and
i = 0 n ψ i D l ( l 0 , [ A l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) σ f o r n N .
Then, there exists z in B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ such that z [ A z ] γ ( z ) .
Proof. 
Let l 0 S and l 1 [ A l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) . Consider a sequence { l r } of points in Z such that l r [ A l r 1 ] γ ( l r 1 ) . First we will show that l r B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ . By (2), we have
δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) = D l ( l 0 , [ A l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) i = 0 n ψ i D l ( l 0 , [ A l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) σ , δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) σ ,
implies l 1 B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ . Consider l 2 , l 3 , , l n B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ for n N . By Lemma 2 and (1), we have
δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) H δ l ( [ A l n 1 ] γ ( l n 1 ) , [ A l n ] γ ( l n ) ) ψ max δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , D l ( l n 1 , [ A l n 1 ] γ ( l n 1 ) ) , D l ( l n , [ A l n ] γ ( l n ) ) , D l ( l n , [ A l n 1 ] γ ( l n 1 ) ) + D l ( l n 1 , [ A l n ] γ ( l n ) ) 2 , D l ( l n , [ A l n ] γ ( l n ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l n 1 , [ A l n 1 ] γ ( l n 1 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , D l ( l n , [ A l n 1 ] γ ( l n 1 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l n 1 , [ A l n ] γ ( l n ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) + M min D l ( l n 1 , [ A l n 1 ] γ ( l n 1 ) ) , D l ( l n , [ A l n ] γ ( l n ) ) , D l ( l n 1 , [ A l n ] γ ( l n ) ) , D l ( l n , [ A l n 1 ] γ ( l n 1 ) ) ψ max δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) , δ l ( l n , l n ) + δ l ( l n 1 , l n + 1 ) 2 , δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) [ 1 + δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) ] 1 + δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , δ l ( l n , l n ) [ 1 + δ l ( l n 1 , l n + 1 ) ] 1 + δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) + M min δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) , δ l ( l n 1 , l n + 1 ) , δ l ( l n , l n ) δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) ψ max δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) , δ l ( l n 1 , l n + 1 ) 2 ,
Since
δ l ( l n 1 , l n + 1 ) 2 δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) + δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) 2 max δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , δ l ( l n , l n + 1 )
By (3)
δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) ψ max δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) , δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) .
Suppose that
δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) < δ l ( l n , l n + 1 )
Then, δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) 0 , and it follows from (4) and a property of ψ that
δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) ψ ( δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) ) < δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) ,
which is not possible. So,
δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) ψ ( δ l ( l n 1 , l n ) ) .
In this way, we get
δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) ψ n ( δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) ) .
Now, by (5) and by triangular inequality, we get
δ l ( l 0 , l n + 1 ) δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) + + δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) n m = 0 ψ m ( δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) ) σ δ l ( l 0 , l n + 1 ) σ .
So, we get l n + 1 B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ . Hence, l r B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ for all n N . Now, we prove that { l r } is a Cauchy sequence. Fix η > 0 and let q ( η ) N such that ψ q ( δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) ) < η . Let for any integer q , r N ( r > q > m ( η ) ) . Now by triangular inequality and the property of ψ , we get
δ l ( l q , l r ) δ l ( l q , l q + 1 ) + δ l ( l q + 1 , l q + 2 ) + + δ l ( l r 1 , l r ) m = q r 1 δ l ( l m , l m + 1 ) m = q r 1 ψ m ( δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) ) q q ( η ) ψ m ( δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) ) < η .
Hence, { l r } is a Cauchy sequence in B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ . As B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ is complete, so l r z B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ such that as r . Since l r + 1 [ A l r ] γ ( l r ) , for all r 1 , using Lemma 2 and inequality (1), we get
D l ( l r + 1 , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) H δ l ( [ A l r ] γ ( l r ) , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) ψ max δ l ( l r , z ) , D l ( l r , [ A l r ] γ ( l r ) ) , D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) , D l ( z , [ A l r ] γ ( l r ) ) + D l ( l r , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) 2 , D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l r , [ A l r ] γ ( l r ) ] 1 + δ l ( l r , z ) , D l ( z , [ A l r ] γ ( l r ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l r , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l r , z ) + M min D l b ( l r , [ A l r ] γ ( l r ) ) , D l b ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) , D l b ( l r , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) , D l b ( z , [ A l r ] γ ( l r ) ) ψ max δ l ( l r , z ) , δ l ( l r , l r + 1 ) , D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) , δ l ( z , l r + 1 ) + D l ( l r , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) 2 , D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) [ 1 + δ l ( l r , l r + 1 ) ] 1 + δ l ( l r , z ) , δ l ( z , l r + 1 ) [ 1 + D l ( l r , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l r , z ) + M min δ l ( l r , l r + 1 ) , D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) , D l ( l r , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) , δ l ( z , l r + 1 ) .
When r in the above inequality, we have
D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) ψ ( D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) ) .
Suppose that D l ( z , [ A z ] α ( z ) ) 0 . As ψ t < t for t > 0 , so
D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) ψ ( D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) ) < D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) ,
which is a contradiction. Hence D l ( z , [ A z ] γ ( z ) ) = 0 . So, we get z [ A z ] γ ( z ) ; that is, z is a fixed point of A. □
Remark 1.
In the above Theorem 1, δ l Hausdorff metric [23] is used for nonempty set [ A x ] γ ( x ) . In fact fuzzy mappings comes as a generalization of single valued mapping T : X X . Here T x must be a point (element) of X. If for some x X ,   T x is undefined then we say that T is not a mapping on X. To pursue this definition we assume that [ A x ] γ ( x ) is non empty for using δ l Hausdorff metric H δ l on nonempty sets [ A x ] γ ( x ) . Indeed, the validity of the assumption of inequality 1 of Theorem 1 and the validity of H δ l for family of nonempty subsets of X make the set [ A x ] γ ( x ) nonempty, see [4,6,23].
Example 2.
Let S = Q + { 0 } and δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) = l 1 + l 2 , whenever l 1 , l 2 S , then ( S , δ l ) is a complete dislocated metric space. Define a fuzzy mapping A : S F l ( S ) by
A ( l ) ( s ) = 1 0 s l / 6 1 / 3 l / 6 < s l / 4 1 / 6 l / 4 < s l / 2 0 l / 2 < s 1
For all l S , there exists γ ( l ) = 1 3 , such that
A l γ ( l ) = 0 , l 4 .
Consider l 0 = 2 and σ = 5 , then B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ = [ 0 , 3 ] . Also, ψ : R + { 0 } [ 0 , ) defined by
ψ ( k ) = p k w i t h 0 < p < 1 .
Let M 0 be any real number. Then,
H δ l ( [ A l 1 ] γ ( l ) , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ψ max δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l ) ) + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) 2 , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) + M min D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l ) ) . l 1 16 ψ max ( l 1 + l 2 ) , l 1 , l 2 , l 1 + l 2 2 , l 2 ( 1 + l 1 ) 1 + l 1 + l 2 + M min l 1 , l 2 .
This satisfies the conditions of Theorem 1. So, we get 0 B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ is a fuzzy fixed point of A.
If we have ψ ( k ) = p k , where 0 < p < 1 , in Theorem 1, we have the following result.
Corollary 1.
Let ( S , δ l ) be a complete δ l metric space with A : S F l ( S ) be a fuzzy mapping. Assume that l 0 be any point in S, γ : S ( 0 , 1 ] be a mapping and there exists a real number M 0 satisfying the following:
H δ l ( [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) p max δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) 2 , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) + M min D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) .
for all l 1 , l 2 B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ , σ > 0 and
i = 0 n ψ i D l ( l 0 , [ A l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) σ f o r n N .
Then, there exists z in B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ such that z [ A z ] γ ( z ) .
If we have M = 0 and ψ ( k ) = p k , where 0 < p < 1 , in Theorem 1, we have the following result.
Corollary 2.
Let ( S , δ l ) be a complete δ l metric space with A : S F l ( S ) be a fuzzy mapping. Assume that l 0 be any point in S, γ : S ( 0 , 1 ] be a mapping and there exists a real number M 0 satisfying the following:
H δ l ( [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) p max δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) 2 , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 )
for all l 1 , l 2 B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ , σ > 0 and
i = 0 n ψ i D l ( l 0 , [ A l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) σ f o r n N .
Then, there exists z in B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ such that z [ A z ] γ ( z ) .

4. Stability of Fuzzy Fixed Point α -Level Sets

Theorem 2.
Suppose ( S , δ l ) is a complete δ l metric space, A 1 , A 2 : S F l ( S ) are two fuzzy mappings and ψ : R + { 0 } [ 0 , ) be a continuous and nondecreasing mapping with Ψ ( s ) = n = 1 ψ n ( s ) < . Also Ψ ( s ) 0 as s 0 and ψ ( s ) < s for each s > 0 . Suppose l 0 be any point in S and also there exists a real number M 0 , with γ ( l ) 0 , 1 such that, A j for j = 1 , 2 satisfies ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) for all l S . Then,
H δ l ( F ( A 1 ) , F ( A 2 ) ) Ψ ( p ) ,
where
p = sup l S H δ l ( [ A 1 l ] α ( l ) , [ A 2 l ] α ( l ) ) .
Proof. 
As by the above Theorem 1, the set of fuzzy fixed point is non-empty. Suppose l 0 F ( A 1 ) , it means l 0 [ A 1 l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) , then by Lemma 2 there exists l 1 [ A 2 l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) such that
δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) H δ l ( [ A 1 l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) , [ A 2 l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) .
As l 1 [ A 2 l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) , so by Lemma 2 there exists l 2 [ A 2 l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) such that
δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) H δ l ( [ A 2 l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) , [ A 2 l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) .
Following Theorem 1, we have for all n N { 0 }
l n + 1 [ A 2 l n ] γ ( l n ) δ l ( l n + 1 , l n + 2 ) ψ ( δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) )
and
δ l ( l n + 1 , l n + 2 ) ψ ( δ l ( l n , l n + 1 ) ) ψ n + 1 ( δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) ) .
Following similar steps as done in the proof of Theorem 1, we can obtain that the sequence { l n } is Cauchy in S and l n z S . Also, z [ A 2 z ] γ ( z ) . Now, by (6) and the definition of p , we have
δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) H δ l ( [ A 1 l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) , [ A 2 l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) p = sup l S H δ l ( [ A 1 l ] γ ( l ) , [ A 2 l ] γ ( l ) ) .
Now, again by triangular inequality and (7) we have
δ l ( l 0 , z ) i = 0 n δ l ( l i , l i + 1 ) + δ l ( l i , z ) i = 0 n ψ i ( δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) ) + δ l ( l i , z ) .
Applying n , in above inequality and the property of ψ , we get
δ l ( l 0 , z ) i = 0 ψ i ( δ l ( l 0 , l 1 ) ) i = 0 ψ i ( p ) = Ψ ( p ) .
So, for an arbitrary l 0 F ( A 1 ) , we have find z F ( A 2 ) , such that
δ l ( l 0 , z ) Ψ ( p ) .
Similarly, for an arbitrary w 0 F ( A 2 ) we can find u F ( A 1 ) , such that
δ l ( w 0 , u ) Ψ ( p ) .
So, we get
H δ l ( F ( A 1 ) , F ( A 2 ) ) Ψ ( p ) .
Theorem 3.
Suppose ( S , δ l ) is a complete δ l metric space and A j : S F l ( S ) f o r j N be a sequence of fuzzy mappings, which is uniformly convergent to a fuzzy mapping A : S F l ( S ) . Suppose l 0 be any point in S and γ ( l ) 0 , 1 . If A j satisfies ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) for each j N , then A also satisfies ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) .
Proof. 
As A j satisfies ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) for every j N , we have
H δ l ( [ A j l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) , [ A j l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ψ max δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A j l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A j l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A j l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) + D l ( l 1 , [ A j l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) 2 , D l ( l 2 , [ A j l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A j l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A j l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A j l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) + M min D l ( l 1 , [ A j l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A j l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A j l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A j l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) .
and
i = 0 n ψ i D l ( l 0 , [ A j l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) σ for σ N .
As { A j } is uniformly convergent to A with ψ continuous. By applying limit j in the above inequalities, we have
H δ l ( [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ψ max δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) 2 , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) + M min D l ( l 1 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 1 , [ A l 2 ] γ ( l 2 ) ) , D l ( l 2 , [ A l 1 ] γ ( l 1 ) ) .
and
i = 0 n ψ i D l ( l 0 , [ A l 0 ] γ ( l 0 ) ) σ for σ N .
which implies that A satisfies ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) . □
Theorem 4.
Let ( S , δ l ) be a complete δ l metric space and A j : S F l ( S ) f o r j N be a sequence of fuzzy mappings, which is uniformly convergent to a fuzzy mapping A : S F l ( S ) . Suppose l 0 be any point in S and with γ ( l ) 0 , 1 . If A j satisfies ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) for each j N . Then,
lim j H δ l ( F ( A j ) , F ( A ) ) = 0 ,
that is, the sequence of sets F ( A j ) j N containing fuzzy fixed points of A j j N are stable.
Proof. 
By Theorem 3, A satisfies ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) . Suppose p j = sup l S H δ l ( [ A j l ] γ ( l ) , [ A l ] γ ( l ) ) ) . As { A j } A on S, so
lim j p j = lim j H δ l ( [ A j l ] γ ( l ) , [ A l ] γ ( l ) ) ) = 0 .
By applying Theorem 2, we have
H δ l ( F ( A j ) , F ( A ) ) Ψ ( p j ) for each j N .
As Ψ ( s ) 0 as s 0 and ψ is continuous, we get
lim j H δ l ( F ( A j ) , F ( A ) ) lim j Ψ ( p j ) = 0 ,
that is,
lim j H δ l ( F ( A j ) , F ( A ) ) = 0 .
Hence, the sequence of sets F ( A j ) j N containing fuzzy fixed points of A j j N are stable. □

5. Application

Now, we indicate that by using Theorem 1, we can derive a fixed point for a multivalued mapping in a complete δ l metric space.
Theorem 5.
Let ( Z , δ l ) be a complete δ l metric space and S : Z C B ( Z ) be a set-valued mapping. Suppose ψ : R + { 0 } [ 0 , ) is a continuous and nondecreasing function with n = 1 ψ n ( s ) < and ψ ( r ) < r for each r > 0 . Suppose for a real number M 0 , satisfying the following:
H δ l ( S l 1 , S l 2 ) ψ max δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 1 , S l 1 ) , D l ( l 2 , S l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , S l 1 ) + D l ( l 1 , S l 2 ) 2 , D l ( l 2 , S l 2 ) [ 1 + D l ( l 1 , S l 1 ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , S l 1 ) [ 1 + D ( l 1 , S l 2 ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) + M min D l ( l 1 , S l 1 ) , D l ( l 2 , S l 2 ) , D l ( l 1 , S l 2 ) , D l ( l 2 , S l 1 ) .
for all l 1 , l 2 B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ , σ > 0 and
i = 0 n ψ i D l ( l 0 , S l 0 ) σ f o r n N .
Then, there exists w in B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ such that w S w .
Proof. 
Let θ : Z ( 0 , 1 ] be any mapping. If we consider a fuzzy mapping A : Z F l ( Z ) as
A ( l ) ( p ) = θ ( l ) , p S l 0 , p S l .
So, we get
[ A l ] θ ( l ) = p : A ( l ) ( p ) θ = S l .
In this way the ( 8 ) and ( 9 ) becomes the ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) of Theorem 1. So, we get w Z such that w [ A w ] θ ( w ) = S w .
Now, we present our result for single-valued mappings.
Theorem 6.
Let ( Z , δ l ) be a complete δ l metric space and S : Z Z be a single-valued mapping. Suppose ψ : R + { 0 } [ 0 , ) is a continuous and nondecreasing function with n = 1 ψ n ( s ) < and ψ ( r ) < r for each r > 0 . Suppose for a real number M 0 , satisfying the following:
δ l ( S l 1 , S l 2 ) ψ max δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , δ l ( l 1 , S l 1 ) , δ l ( l 2 , S l 2 ) , δ l ( l 2 , S l 1 ) + δ l ( l 1 , S l 2 ) 2 , δ l ( l 2 , S l 2 ) [ 1 + δ l ( l 1 , S l 1 ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) , δ l ( l 2 , S l 1 ) [ 1 + δ l ( l 1 , S l 2 ) ] 1 + δ l ( l 1 , l 2 ) + M min δ l ( l 1 , S l 1 ) , δ l ( l 2 , S l 2 ) , δ l ( l 1 , S l 2 ) , δ l ( l 2 , S l 1 ) .
for all l 1 , l 2 B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ , σ > 0 and
i = 0 n ψ i δ l ( l 0 , S l 0 ) σ f o r n N .
Then, there exists w in B δ l ( l 0 , σ ) ¯ such that w = S w .
Now, we present the results for sequence of set-valued mappings.
Theorem 7.
Suppose ( Z , δ l ) is a complete δ l metric space and T j : Z C B ( Z ) f o r j N be a sequence of set-valued mappings, which is uniformly convergent to a set-valued mapping T : Z C B ( Z ) . Suppose T j satisfies ( 8 ) and ( 9 ) for each j N , then T also satisfies ( 8 ) and ( 9 ) .
Theorem 8.
Suppose ( Z , δ l ) is a complete δ l metric space and T j : Z C B ( Z ) f o r j N be a sequence of set-valued mappings, which is uniformly convergent to a set-valued mapping T : Z C B ( Z ) . Suppose T j satisfies ( 8 ) and ( 9 ) for each j N . Then,
lim j H δ l ( F ( T j ) , F ( T ) ) = 0 ,
that is, the sequence of sets F ( T j ) j N containing fixed points of T j j N are stable.

6. Conclusions

In this article we established some fuzzy fixed point results in a closed ball for fuzzy mappings satisfying rational type almost contractions in a complete dislocated metric spaces. We also study about stability of fuzzy fixed point γ -level sets. We also obtained fixed point results for set-valued mappings. Hausdorff distance is used and an example is presented to support these results. The proposed operators can be extended to Fermatean fuzzy sets see [24,25].
