Abstract

In the present paper, we extend the concept of contraction in a new manner by introducing D-contraction defined on a family F of bounded functions. We also introduce a new notion of a fixed function on a metric space. Some fixed function theorems along with illustrative examples and application are also given to verify the effectiveness of our results.
