Abstract

Recently, Phiangsungnoen et al. [J. Inequal. Appl. 2014:201 (2014)] studied fuzzy mappings in the framework of Hausdorff fuzzy metric spaces.
Following this direction of research, we establish the existence of fixed fuzzy points of fuzzy mappings. An example is given to support the result proved herein; we also present a coincidence and common fuzzy point result. Finally, as an application of our results, we investigate the existence of solution for some
recurrence relations associated to the analysis of quicksort algorithms.
