Abstract:

In this paper, we present a new extension of Banach-Caristi type theorem for multivalued mappings. We show that our result is not a consequence of multivalued version of Banach contraction principle due to Nadler. We provide an application of our result to the solution of functional equations.



Keywords:

Fixed point, Banach contraction principle, nonlinear functional equation, metric space, Caristi’s theorem.
