Introduction
Fixed point theory is an important area in mathematics which is closely related to real world problems and has many applications in different fields of science. It has played an important role in solving problems of uniqueness and existence of the nonlinear analysis, topology and geometry. In the literature, it has applications in many sciences like engineering [1], economy [2], optimization [3], game theory [4] and medicine [5]. Brouwer [6] proved fixed point theorem on -dimensional space. Banach [7] established contraction principle which supplied find fixed point theorem using contraction mapping. Later, Schauder [8] proved an extension of the Brouwer’s fixed point theorem to spaces of infinite dimension under compactness condition.
For fixed point theory of single valued mappings, one can consult in [9, 10, 11]. The case of multivalued mappings compared to single valued mappings direct application to the real world problems [12, 13]. The literature is important in view of its. Along with that Kakutani [14] extended Brouwer’s fixed point theorem to multivalued mappings. Afterward, Nadler [15] extended Banach contraction principle from single valued mappings to multivalued mappings using Hausdorff metric. Later, classes of Nadler’s fixed point theorem was extended and generalized for various multivalued mappings in [16, 17].
Measure of noncompactness has played a fundamental role in the study of single valued and multivalued mappings, especially, in metric and topological fixed point theory. It is very useful tool to guarantees the existence of fixed point. The measure of noncompactness was defined and studied by Kuratowski [18]. Darbo [19] used this measure to generalize both Schauder’s fixed point theorem and Banach’s contraction principle for condensing operators. Recently, measure of noncompactness has been used in differential equations, integral equations, nonlinear equations as given in [20, 21, 22].
Partially ordered metric spaces are very important in fixed point theory. By using two basic concepts, Guo and Lakshmikantham [23] first gave some existence theorems of the coupled fixed point for both continuous and discontinuous operators, and then they offered some applications to the initial value problems of ordinary differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides. Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [24] introduced coupled fixed point and established in a some coupled fixed point theorems in a partially ordered metric space. By a similar idea, Berinde and Borcut [25] established a tripled fixed point for nonlinear mapping in partially ordered complete metric spaces. Ertürk and Karakaya [26] introduced the concept of -tuplet fixed point and studied existence and uniqueness of fixed point of contractive type mappings in partially ordered metric spaces. Moreover, by using the condensing operators, Aghajani et al. [27] presented some results on the existence of coupled fixed point Karakaya et al. [28] gave some results concerning the existence of tripled fixed point via measure of noncompactness. For different models of measure of noncompactness in [29].
The existence of fixed point for various contractive mappings has been studied by many authors under different conditions. The concept of coupled fixed point for multivalued mappings was introduced by Samet and Vetro [30] and they presented coupled fixed point theorem for multivalued nonlinear contraction mappings in a partially ordered metric space. Rao et al. [31] obtained a tripled coincidence fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings in a partially ordered metric space.
In this paper, by using condensing operator, we investigate -tuplet fixed point of multivalued mappings on a Banach space. Finally, we also give an application of our result to solve a system of integral inclusions.

We now give an important theorem for existence of fixed point of multivalued mapping under measure of noncompactness condition.
Theorem 5**.**

4. Application To Inclusions Systems
The multivalued fixed point theorem of this paper has some nice applications to differential and integral systems of inclusions as an example we study the solvability of a system of differential inclusions.
Consider the following differential system
[TABLE]
with
[TABLE]
where is an upper Caratheodory multimap, is a given multivalued function. is a family of linear closed unbounded operators on with domain independent of that generate an evolution system of operators with .
Define the set
[TABLE]
Definition 6**.**
A family of bounded linear operators where for is called an evolution system if the following properties are satisfied,
- (1)
* where is the identity operator in and for ,* 2. (2)
The mapping is strongly continuous, that is, there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
An evolution system is said to be compact if is compact for any -. is said to be equicontinuous if is equicontinuous at for any bounded subset . Clearly, if is a compact evolution system, it must be equicontinuous. The converse is not necessarily true.
More details on evolution systems and their properties could be found in the books of Ahmed [38], Engel and Nagel [39] and Pazy [40].
Definition 7**.**
We say that the couple is a mild solution of the evolution system if it satisfies the following integral system
[TABLE]
for all .
Theorem 6**.**
Assume the following hypotheses
is a family of linear operators. generates an equicontinuous evolution system and
[TABLE]
The multifunction is an upper Carathéodory with respect to and and is compact and
[TABLE]
There exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
where, hold. Then the non local system has at least one mild solution in the space .
Proof. To solve problem given in we transform it into the following fixed point problem.
Consider the multivalued operator defined by,
[TABLE]
Clearly, coupled fixed points of the operator are mild solutions of system 4.3.
Obviously, for each , the set is nonempty since, by , has a measurable selection (see [41]).
Let show that has a coupled fixed point. For that, we need to verify all the conditions of Theorem 5.
Let . We notice that is closed, bounded and convex.
To show that , we need first to prove that the family
[TABLE]
is equicontinuous for , that is, all the functions are continuous and they have equal variation over a given neighbourhood.
In view of we have that funtions in the set are equicontinuous, i.e, for every there exists such that implies for all
Then, given some let such that , we have
[TABLE]
As is equicontinuous, so we have
[TABLE]
Hence we conclude that is equicontinuous for .
Now, we show that . For , we have
[TABLE]
Thus .
Further, it is easy to see that is convex value.
Now, let us show that has a closed graph, let , and such that and we show that
Now, there exists a sequence such that
[TABLE]
Consider the linear operator defined by
[TABLE]
Clearly, is linear and continuous. So by Lemma 2, we get that is a closed graph operator. Further, we have
[TABLE]
Since , and therefore
[TABLE]
That is, there exists a function such that
[TABLE]
Therefore has a closed graph, hence has closed values on .
We know that the family is equicontinuous, hence by Lemma 3, we have
[TABLE]
Therefore
[TABLE]
In view of , we get
[TABLE]
Therefore, for we obtain that has at least one coupled fixed point. Hence, the system has at least one solution.
