Kannan-type cyclic contraction results in $2$-Menger space
Binayak Samadder Choudhury, Samir Kumar Bhandari
Abstract: In this paper we establish Kannan-type cyclic contraction results in probabilistic 2-metric spaces. We use two different types of $t$-norm in our theorems. In our first theorem we use a Hadzic-type $t$-norm. We use the minimum $t$-norm in our second theorem. We prove our second theorem by different arguments than the first theorem. A control function is used in our second theorem. These results generalize some existing results in probabilistic 2-metric spaces. Our results are illustrated with an example.
