Abstract
In this paper, we have established and proved fixed point theorems for the Boyd-Wong-type contraction in metric spaces. In particular, we have generalized the existing results for a pair of mappings that possess a fixed point but not continuous at the fixed point. We can apply this result for both continuous and discontinuous mappings. We have concluded our results by providing an illustrative example for each case and an application to the existence and uniqueness of a solution of nonlinear Volterra integral equations.
