Abstract

Olatinwo [4] introduced contractions of the derivative type, and used them to prove a variant of the Banach fixed point theorem and theorems for implicit contractions. In this paper, some results concerning Reich polynomial contractions of the derivative type are established in metric spaces, together with an illustrative example. Finally, we apply our result to the Fredholm integral equation.
