Fixed Point Theory and Appl., <strong>17</strong>, 693–702 (2015); Fixed Point Theory, <strong>18</strong>, 415–432 (2017); Filomat, <strong>31</strong>, 4421–4439 (2017)] and Berzig [J. Fixed Point Theory and Appl., <strong>12</strong>, 221–238 (2012)]. &nbsp;Also, we provide an example to illustrate the suitability of results obtained.</p&gt;}, number={4}, journal={Ukrains’kyi Matematychnyi Zhurnal}, author={Chandok, S.}, year={2020}, month={Mar.}, pages={565-574} }
