1. Introduction
The concept of fixed points has been utilized on a global scale in many disciplines of research and engineering [
1,
2]. Fixed point results were used to show that there are solutions to ordinary boundary value problems and fractional boundary value problems with integral-type boundary conditions, as described by Karapinar et al. [
3]. In 1906, Frechet [
4] presented the notion of metric spaces (MSs). MS techniques have been used for decades in a variety of applications, including image classification, protein classification, and Internet search engines. In order to extend metric techniques like Banach’s theorem to non-Hausdorff topologies, Matthews [
5] introduced a symmetric generalized metric for such topologies. Mustafa and Sims [
6] established the notion of generalized MS and worked on completeness and compactness. Azam et al. [
7] proved a common fixed point theorem by utilizing contractive mappings for a pair of mappings in the framework of complex-valued MSs. Mitrovic and Radenovic [
8] established the notion of
-metric space as a generalization of MS, rectangular MS, b-MS, rectangular b-MS, v-generalized MS Banach, and proved fixed point results for Reich contractions in
-MS.
In 1993, Czerwik [
9] established the concept of b-MS as a generalization of MS. He used a constant
on the right side of the triangle inequality; if we consider
then b-MS becomes an MS. In 2017, Kamran et al. [
10] presented the notion of an extended b-MS as a generalization of b-MS. They replaced a constant
with a function
and proved a Banach version of contraction mapping in the framework of extended b-MS. Recently, Mlaiki et al. [
11] extended the notion of extended b-MS by utilizing the function
with both terms separately on the right side of the triangular inequality and introduced controlled MS (CMS). Mustafa et al. [
12] used the idea of extended b-MS and presented the notion of extended rectangular b-MS. Lateef [
13] proved the fixed point theorem for Kannan-type contraction mapping in the context of CMSs. Abuloha et al. [
14] derived several fixed point results for CMSs by utilizing the class of functions denoted by
For more related results in the setting of controlled-type MSs, see [
15,
16].
Abdeljawad et al. [
17] presented double-controlled MS (DCMS) as a generalization of controlled MS by utilizing two functions
with both terms separately on the right side of triangular inequality as follows:
Lateef [
18] proved Fisher type fixed point results in controlled metric spaces. Farhan et al. [
19] proved numerous fixed point results for
-contraction and Reich-type contraction in the setting of DCMSs and partially ordered DCMSs. The authors in [
20,
21,
22,
23,
24] generalized the notion of DCMSs by utilizing intuitionistic fuzzy sets and neutrosophic sets, and proved fixed point theorems with several applications. Latif [
25] introduced the concept of neutrosophic delta–beta-connected topological spaces. Touqeer and Rasool [
26] utilized a neutrosophic approach for decision making. Bousselsal Mostefaoui [
27] proved some common fixed point results in partial metric spaces for generalized rational-type contraction mappings. Rao et al. [
28] proved the existence and uniqueness of Suzuki-type results in
-metric spaces with application to integral equations. Chandok and Kim [
29] derived a fixed point theorem in ordered metric spaces for generalized contraction mappings that satisfy rational-type expressions.
In this paper, we prove some common fixed point theorems for generalized rational-type contraction mappings and rational-type contractions equipped with graphs in the setting of DCMSs. Further, we solve the integral equation by using the main results. Our results generalize several existing results in [
11,
18,
20].
