1. Introduction
In 1973, Geraghty [1] introduced an interesting generalization of Banach contraction mapping principle using the concept of class
Furthermore, Gupta et al. [6], established some fixed point theorems in an ordered complete metric space using distance function. Chaipunya et al. [7] proved some fixed point theorems of Geraghty-type contractions concerning the existence and uniqueness of fixed points under the setting of modular metric spaces which also generalized the results in Gordji et al. [2] under the influence of a modular metric space.
Geraghty-type contractive mappings in metric spaces was generalized to the concept of preordered G-metric spaces in [8] and the authors in [8] obtained unique fixed point results. Furthermore, other interesting fixed point results in G-metric spaces can be found in [9] and the references therein.
In 2010, an essential study by Chistyakov [10] introduced an aspect of metric called modular metric spaces or parameterized metric space with the time parameter λ (say) and his purpose was to define the notion of a modular on an arbitrary set, develop the theory of metric spaces generated by modulars, called modular metric spaces and, on the basis of it, defined new metric spaces of (multi-valued) functions of bounded generalized variation of a real variable with values in metric semigroups and abstract convex cones.
In the same year, Chistyakov [11], as an application presented an exhausting description of Lipschitz continuous and some other classes of superposition (or Nemytskii) operators, acting in these modular metric spaces. He developed the theory of metric spaces generated by modulars and extended the results given by Nakano [12], Musielak and Orlicz [13], Musielak [14] to modular metric spaces. Modular spaces are extensions of Lebesgue, Riesz and Orlicz spaces of integrable functions.
Modular theories on linear spaces can be found in Nakano [12, 15], where he developed a spectral theory in semi-ordered linear spaces (vector lattices) and established the integral representation for projections acting in this modular space.
Nakano [12] established some modulars on real linear spaces which are convex functionals. Non-convex modulars and the corresponding modular linear spaces were constructed by Musielak and Orlicz [13]. Orlicz spaces and modular linear spaces have already become classical tools in modern nonlinear functional analysis.
Furthermore, the development of theory of metric spaces generated by modulars, called modular metric spaces attracted the attention of several mathematicians (see, e.g. [1619]).
Okeke et al. [20] established some convergence results for three multi-valued ρ-quasi-nonexpansive mappings using a three step iterative scheme. Moreover, these fixed point results are applicable to nonlinear integral and differential equations see [19, 2126] and the references therein, while [7] deals with application to partial differential equation in modular metric spaces.
In 2013, Azadifar et al. [27] introduced the notion of modular G-metric space and proved some fixed point theorems for contractive mappings defined on modular G-metric spaces. Based on definitions given in [27], we intend to extend the fixed point theorems obtained in [7] to preordered modular G-metric spaces in this paper. Furthermore, we prove some fixed point theorems for Geraghty-type contraction mappings in the setting of preordered modular G-metric spaces. We apply our results in proving the existence of a unique solution for a system of nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm integral equations in modular G-metric spaces,
