We introduce the concepts of(H,ψ,Φ)-contraction and probabilistic(α,φ)-contraction mappings in generalized probabilistic metric spaces and prove some fixed point theorems for such two types of mappings in generalized probabilistic metric spaces. Our results generalize and extend many comparable results in existing literature. Some examples are also given to support our results. Finally, an application to the existence of solutions for a class of integral equations is presented by utilizing one of our main results.

AbstractThe intrinsic flexibility of probabilistic metric spaces makes it possible to extend the idea of contraction mapping in several inequivalent ways, one of which being the C-contraction. Cyclic contractions are another type of contractions used extensively in global optimization problems. We introduced here p-cyclic contractions which are probabilistic C-contraction types. It involves p numbers of subsets of the spaces and involves two control functions for its definitions. We show that such contractions have fixed points in a complete probabilistic metric space. The main result is supported with an example and extends several existing results.
