Some fixed point results for a class of g-monotone increasing multi-valued mappings

In this paper, we introduce the new notion of g-monotone mapping and prove some fixed point theorems for multi-valued and single-valued g-increasing mappings in partially ordered metric spaces. The mappings considered in this paper are assumed to satisfy certain metric inequalities which are established by an altering distance function. The presented results extend and improve the main results of Choudhury and Metiya [B.S. Choudhury, N. Metiya, Multi-valued and single-valued fixed point results in partially ordered metric spaces, Arab J. Math. Sci. 17 (2011) 135–151].
