Abstract

The metric function generalizes the concept of distance between two points and hence includes the symmetric property. The aim of this article is to introduce a new and proper extension of Kannan’s fixed point theorem to the case of multivalued maps usingWardowski’s F-contraction. We show that our result is applicable to a class of mappings where neither the multivalued version of Kannan’s theorem nor that of Wardowski’s can be applied to determine the existence of fixed points. Application of our result to the solution of integral equations has been provided. A multivalued Reich type generalized version of the result is also established.
