1. Introduction
Fixed point theory is an important branch of non-linear analysis. After the celebrated Banach contraction principle [1], a number of authors have been working in this area of research. Fixed point theorems (FPTs) are important instruments for proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions to variational inequalities. Metric FPTs expanded after the well-known Banach contraction theorem was established. From this point forward, there have been numerous results related to maps fulfilling various contractive conditions and many types of metric spaces (see, for example, [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]).
The authors of [10,11] presented a novel extension of the b-metric space known as controlled metric spaces (CMSs) and demonstrated the FPTs on the CMSs, providing an example by employing a control function in the triangle inequality.
Serge [12] made a pioneering attempt at developing special algebra. He conceptualized commutative generalizations of complex numbers as briefly bicomplex numbers (BCN), briefly tricomplex numbers (tcn), etc., as elements of an infinite set of algebra. Subsequently, many researchers contributed in this area, (see, for example, [13,14,15,16,17,18,19]).
In 2021, the authors of [20] proved a common fixed point for a pair of contractive-type maps in bicomplex-valued metric spaces. Later, several authors discussed their results using this concept, see [21,22,23,24]. Guechi [25] introduced the concept of optimal control of -Hilfer fractional equations and proved the fixed point results. For details, see [26,27,28] and the references therein.
In this paper, we introduce the notion of bicomplex-valued CMSs (BVCMSs) and prove FPT under Banach, Kannan and Fisher contractions on BVCMSs. Then, we give an application to solve a fractional differential equation (FDE) and show that this extension is different from bicomplex-valued metric spaces in terms of Beg, Kumar Datta and Pal [20].
2. Preliminaries
We use standard notations throughout this paper: The real, complex, and bicomplex number sets are represented by , and , respectively. The following complex numbers were described by Segre [12].
where , . We represent as:
Let , then . Every element in with a positive real-valued norm function is defined by
Segre [12] described the bicomplex number (BCN) as:
where , and the independent units satisfy and . We represent the BCN set as:
that is,
where and . If and are any two BCNs, then their sum is
There are four idempotent elements in . They are of which and are non-trivial, such that and . Every BCN can be uniquely expressed as a combination of and , namely,
This representation of is known as the idempotent representation of a BCN, and the complex coefficients and are known as the idempotent components of the BCN .
Each element in with a positive real-valued norm function is defined by
where .
The linear space with respect to a defined norm is a normed linear space, and is complete. Therefore, is a Banach space. If , then holds instead of , and therefore is not a Banach algebra. For any two BCN , then
- 1.

- , and holds when only one of or is degenerated;
- 5.

- 6.
- , if is a degenerated BCN.
The relation (partial order) is defined on as given below. Let be a set of BCNs and and . Then, if and only if and , i.e., , if one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
- 1.
- , ;
- 2.

- , .
Clearly, we can write if and , i.e., if 2, 3 or 4 are satisfied, and we will write if only 4 is satisfied.
Definition 1
([10]). Let and . The functional is called the briefly controlled-type metric CMT if
- (CMT1) ,
- (CMT2) ,
- (CMT3) ,
- for all. Then, the doubletis called a CMT space.
Several researchers have proven FPTs using this notion (see [3,4,6,11]).
Definition 2.
Let and consider . The functional is said to be a BVCMS if

4. Conclusions
In this paper we introduced the concept of BVCMS and FPTs for Banach-, Kannan- and Fisher-type contractions concepts. Furthermore, we presented examples that elaborated the usability of our results. Meanwhile, we provided an application for the existence of a solution to an FDE using one of our results. This concept can be applied for further investigations into studying BVCMSs for other structures in metric spaces.
