Abstract
In this paper, we consider and extend some fixed point results in -complete -metric spaces by relaxing the symmetry of complete metric spaces. We generalize -admissible mappings in the setting of -metric spaces. The derived results are supplemented with suitable examples, and the obtained results are applied to find the existence of the solution to the integral equation. The analytical results are compared through numerical simulation. We pose certain open problems for extending and applying our results in the future.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries
In functional and nonlinear analysis, the standard metric space is an extremely useful tool. Several generalizations of conventional metric spaces have surfaced in recent years. The famous Banach contraction principle [1] of 1922 laid the foundation of modern metric fixed point theory. Many mathematicians generalized the contraction mapping theorem (CMT) in various types of metric spaces using different contractive conditions. In the sequel, in 1989, Bakhtin [2] developed the notion of b-metric spaces and proposed the contraction mapping in b-metric spaces as an extension of the CMT. Matthews [3] proposed the concept of a partial metric space, which is a generalization of the standard metric space. Subsequently, in 2007, Huang and Zhang [4] defined the cone metric space and substituted real numbers by the ordered Banach space. Many fixed point theorems of contractive mapping on cone metric spaces have been proven in the setting of cone metric spaces. We recommend readers see [5,6,7,8,9] and several references therein for quantitative information. Recently, in 2018, Jleli and Samet proposed the notion of the -metric space in [10]. Since then, several fixed point results have been established in the setting of the -metric space. In 2019, Mitrović et al. [11] established fixed point results of Banach, Jungck, Reich, and Berinde, on the -metric space; see also [12,13,14,15,16,17,18]. In the sequel, we recall some of the basic concepts and outcomes that are required in our main results.
Throughout this paper, we indicate as the set of non-negative real numbers , and indicate the real numbers ℜ, respectively.
Definition 1.

Definition 2
([10]). Let be a non-void set. A function is said to be an -metric () on Γ if there exists such that , the following hypotheses are satisfied:

Samet et al. [19] first proposed the concept of an --contraction map. They established the existence and uniqueness of fixed points in the metric space for such mappings. Alizadeh et al. [20] proposed the idea of - -contraction and weak - --rational contractive maps through cyclic the -admissible map and established fixed point theorems for this class of maps in the setting of the metric space.
Definition 4
([20]). Let be a self-mapping on and We say that the mapping is a cyclic -admissible mapping if:
- (i)
- for some implies
- (ii)
- for some implies
For a deep insight into the fixed point results on various generalized metric spaces, the reader can see, for example, [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,19,20,21,22,23], while more new results on can be found in [24,25,26,27,28,29].
More recently, Hussain and Kanwal [30] introduced the concept of the --contraction in -metric spaces and demonstrated fixed point and linked fixed point results. Inspired by this, in our work, we introduce a new type of contraction map and establish a fixed point result in the setting of generalizing some proven results of the past. The rest of the paper is organized as follows: In Section 2, we present our main results by introducing the -admissible map in the setting of and prove the fixed point results. Our results generalize and corollorizesome proven results in the past. In Section 3, the derived results are applied to find the analytical solution to the integral equation. We validate the analytical solution through numerical simulation. Finally, in Section 4, we propose some open problems for future research in this arena.

4. Conclusions
We established fixed point results generalizing -admissible mappings in the setting of -metric spaces. Our results extend and generalize some results proven in the past. The results were supported with non-trivial examples, and the result was applied to find the solution to the integral equations. There is an open problem of applying the derived results and their extension to find the solution to the fractional differential equations, circuit theory, etc. Furthermore, as a future research, the fixed circle problem can be studied using these new contractions on different generalized metric spaces; see [16,17,18].
