New Answers to the Rhoades’ Open Problem and the Fixed-Circle Problem

Abstract

Recently, the Rhoades' open problem which is related to the discontinuity at fixed point of a self-mapping and the fixed-circle problem which is related to the geometric meaning of the set of fixed points of a self-mapping have been studied using various approaches. Therefore, in this paper, we give some solutions to the Rhoades' open problem and the fixed-circle problem on metric spaces. To do this, we inspire from the Meir-Keeler type, Ciric type and Caristi type fixed-point theorems. Also, we use the simulation functions and Wardowski's technique to obtain new fixed-circle results.

Keywords
