Abstract
In this publication, we establish a suitable symmetry structure for orthogonal -contractive mappings and prove fixed point results for an orthogonal -contractive via orthogonal metric spaces. We give an application to strengthen our main results from the existing literature to prove the existence of a unique analytical solution to the differential equation by converting it into an integral equation through fixed point analysis.
1. Introduction
Fixed point theory is a fascinating subject with an enormous number of symmetry applications in various fields of mathematics. The Banach fixed point theorem is the most significant test for the solutions of some problems in mathematics and engineering. In 1922, Stefan Banach [1] introduced contraction principle theorems. It has shown symmetry in the existing problems in various fields of mathematical analysis and a simple structure. In 1985, Droz et al. [2] presented as an abstract formulation of Picard’s method of successive approximations. In 2010, Emmanouil [3] established an extension of the Banach fixed point theorem. Very recently, in 2012, Samet et al. [4] introduced the concepts of -contractive and -admissible maps, as well as proved some fixed point theorems for such functions stated on complete metric spaces (complete metric space). Following that, in 2013, Salimi, Latif, and Hussain [5] modified -contractive maps. In 2014, Hussain, Kutbi, and Salimi [6] updated the version of -contractive and also described fixed point theories that are appropriate generalizations in -admissible via complete metric spaces with an application of the recent results in symmetry manner. In 2014, Jleli and Samet [7] created a novel sort of -contraction and produced a unique fixed point for like contraction in the notion of nonspecific metric spaces. In 2017, Zheng et al. [8] introduced a new concept of -contractions and established some fixed point results for such mappings in complete metric spaces. On the other side, Gordji, Rameani, De La Sen, and Cho [9] presented the idea of an orthogonal set, sometimes known as a -set, as well as certain examples and properties of these sets. In 2017, Hussain et al. [10] improved and expanded certain fixed point theorems for generalized -contractive axioms in complete metric space occupation. For further details, see [11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20].
This paper is written as follows. In the first part, we give the required background about an orthogonal -complete metric space and an orthogonal -continuous function. In the next section, we state and prove the main results of an orthogonal -complete metric space and an orthogonal -continuous. Finally, we give an application of the differential equation of fixed point theorem to an orthogonal -complete metric space and an orthogonal -continuous.

By applying the limit and by Equation (12), we have
On the other hand, by (12), there exists a natural number such that
for all . Next, we claim that
for all . On the contrary, assume that there exists such that
From , (13) and (17), we have , a contradiction because . Therefore, is an -Cauchy sequence. By -completeness of , there exists such that as . Now, since is -continuous and , we have, as , i.e., . Therefore, has a fixed point and for . Let . On the contrary, suppose that and . Then, . Now, we obtain
By the limit as in the above inequality, we conclude that . Hence, from (), , a contradiction. Hence, for all . □
Example 5.
Let and be a map defined by

Thus, is an orthogonal complete metric space. Now, we will define a map by
Now, we show that is ⊥-preserving. Let with and . Then, is an orthogonal-preserving. Now, we show that is an -contractive map. Define by and for all with , where . Now, assume that there exists some such that
for with , , where . Since, for all with , so for all with . Let . So, . Then, from (18), we obtain
Hence, all conditions of Theorem 3 hold and has a unique fixed point.
4. Application
Consider the ordinary differential equation
where is a continuous function and the space of all continuous functions be defined on . Assume that for all . Clearly, is an orthogonal complete metric space. Assume that the following conditions hold:
- There exists a map such that for all with , we have for all ,
- There exists such that for all , ,
- For all and for all and imply ,
- For all and for all .
We can now guarantee that the prescribed second order differential equation has a solution. The above procedure demonstrates similar results, but differs from [18].
Theorem 6.

Proof.
Let . We consider the following orthogonality relation in :
for all . Clearly, is an orthogonal metric space.
Next, we will prove that is an -complete (not necessarily complete). Consider the -Cauchy sequence in . Easily, we demonstrate that is convergent to a point . It is enough to prove that . Fix . Since ⊥-preserving, we have
for each . Since for all , there exists a subsequence in for which for each . It is convergence to real numbers . But since is arbitrary, it shows that and hence .
It is easily shown that is a solution of (20) if is a solution of the integral equation. A self-map is defined by
Therefore, the differential equation (20) makes it easy to find , i.e., a fixed point of . Let such that for all . From (i), we have
This implies that
Moreover, we find that
for all such that for all .
Therefore, all the conditions of the Theorem 6 are satisfied. Hence, has a fixed point such that is a solution of (20). □
