| contents | We establish fixed-point theorems for Meir-Keeler-type contractions in b-metric spaces. While Lu et al. demonstrated via an explicit counterexample that classical Meir-Keeler contractions may fail to admit fixed points in this setting, we prove that a natural strengthening of the conditions yields existence results. Specifically, we show that every non-expansive Leader contraction with bounded orbits in a b-metric space possesses a fixed point.
To contextualize our findings, we present a hierarchical diagram illustrating that the fixed-point theory of non-expansive Leader contractions subsumes earlier results, including Meir-Keeler contractions, the primary focus of this work. Our proofs hold in arbitrary b-metric spaces, without relying on the triangle inequality, requiring instead only the assumption of unique limits.
This work not only resolves the limitation exposed by Lu et al.'s counterexample but also establishes a unifying framework for future research in the literature. |
