1. Introduction and Preliminaries
The existence of a unique fixed point for self-mappings under suitable contraction conditions over complete metric spaces is guaranteed by Banach’s fixed point theory (also known as “the contraction mapping theorem”), one of the most significant sources of existence and uniqueness theorems in numerous areas of analysis. New extensions and generalizations of fixed point results are important because they increase our understanding of mathematical systems, enable the solution of specific problems, extend current theorems, and lead to the development of new theories and applications. They are an important aspect of mathematical study and have far-reaching ramifications in a variety of fields.
The fuzzy logic was established by Zadeh []. Unlike the theory of traditional logic, some numbers are not contained within the set and fuzzy logic afflation of the numbers in the set defines an element within the interval Uncertainty, the necessary section of real difficulty, has helped Zadeh to learn theories of fuzzy sets to bear the difficulty of indefinity. The theory is seen as a fixed point (FP) in the fuzzy metric space (FMS) for various processes, one of them utilizing a fuzzy logic (FL). Later on, following Zadeh’s outcomes, Heilpern [] established the fuzzy mapping (FM) notion and a theorem on an FP for fuzzy contraction mapping in linear MS, expressing a fuzzy general form of Banach’s contraction theory. In the definition of FMSs provided by Kaleva and Saikkala [], the imprecision is introduced if the distance between the elements is not a precise integer. After the first by Kramosil and Michalek [] and further work by George and Veeramani [], the notation of an FMS was introduced. Branga and Olaru [] proved several fixed point results for self-mappings by utilizing generalized contractive conditions in the context of altered metric spaces. Al-Khaleel et al. [] used cyclic contractive mappings of Kannan and Chatterjea type in generalized metric spaces. Czerwik [] found the solution of the well-known Banach’s fixed point theorem in the context of b-metric spaces (b-MS). Mlaiki [] defined controlled MS as a generalization of b-MS by utilizing a control function of the other side of the b-triangular inequality. The relation between b-MS and FMS has been discussed by Hassanzadeh and Sedghi []. Li et al. [] used Kaleva–Seikkala’s type FbMSs and proved several fixed point results by using contraction mappings. Furthermore, Sedghi and Shobe [,] proved various common fixed point theorems for R-weakly commuting maps in the framework of FbMSs.
Sezen [] introduced a controlled Fuzzy metric space (CFMS) as a generalization of FMS and FbMS by applying a control function in a triangular inequality of the form:
If we take then it is an FMS and for with it is then an FbMS.
Ishtiaq et al. [] established the theory of double-controlled intuitionistic fuzzy metric-like spaces by “considering the case where the self-distance is not zero”; if the metric’s value is 0, afterward, it must be a self-distance and also an established FP theorem for contraction mappings. See [] for triangular norm (TN), continuous triangular norm (CTN) [], and TN of H-type [,]. In [,], authors worked on CFMSs by utilizing orthogonality and pentagonal CFMSs and proved several fixed point results for contraction mappings. Rakić [] proved a fuzzy version of Banach’s fixed point theorem by using Ciric-quasi-contraction in the context of FbMSs. Mehmood et al. [] introduced the concept of extended fuzzy b-metric spaces and generalized the Banach contraction principle. Younis et al. [] proved several fixed point results in the context of dislocated b-metric spaces and solved the turning circuit problem.

3. An Application to the Transformation of Solar Energy to Electric Power
Sun-based boards are currently being distributed and shown widely to reduce people’s reliance on petroleum derivatives which are less environmentally friendly. Nearly 19 trillion kilowatts of power were transported internationally in 2007. In comparison, the amount of daylight that enters the Earth’s surface in a single hour is enough to illuminate the entire planet for a full year. The question is: how do those dazzling and warm beams of light obtain power? A numerical model of the electric flow in an RLC equal circuit, often known as a “tuning” circuit, can be presented with a basic understanding of how light is converted into power. In the fields of radio and communication engineering, this circuit has several uses. The version that is being presented can be used to calculate the production of electric power, provide tools to improve building performance, and can be used as a decision-making tool when designing a hybrid renewable electricity system based on solar power. Every aspect of this system is mathematically expressed as a differential equation in [] using the following equation
where is a continuous function that is condition (17) to the integral equation to which it is equivalent.
where the Green’s function it follows:
where is a constant, as determined by the values of and , mentioned in (17).
Let be the set of all real continuous positive functions that are expressed on the set . Let be endowed with the CFMS given by the following
One can verify that is a complete CFMS with a controlled function , defined by
It is obvious that is a solution of integral Equation (18), and as a result, a solution of differential Equation (17) which governs the system of converting solar energy into electric power if and only if is an FP of . It is installed as a guarantee of the existence of FP of

- (II)
- a continuous function such that ;
- (III)
- and for all and exists such thatThe differential Equation (17) that represents the solar energy problem has a solution as a result and the integral Equation (18) also has a solution.
Proof.
For , by use of assumptions (I) to (III), we have
Thus, all conditions of Theorem 4 are fulfilled. That is, operator has an FP which is the solution to differential Equation (17) regulating the conversion of solar energy to electrical power. □
Open Problems 1.
The following open problem is provided for further applications of the findings in this article:
- Optional appliance renewal is one of the most basic concerns in management science and engineering economics. A corporation periodically purchases a new appliance and sells the old one in order to operate the equipment permanently. If is the efficiency of the appliance at time period and is the cost at the purchasing time, then,where is the usage time of machine and is the constant of industry wide discount rate.
- Can the results established in this note or their variants be applied to solve the aforementioned integral equation?
- Can the results derived in this article be controlled in graphical fuzzy metric spaces?
- Can we demonstrate the aforementioned findings for multivalued mappings?
4. Conclusions
In the perspective of controlled fuzzy metric spaces, this manuscript contains a number of fixed point theorems and a sufficient condition for a sequence to be Cauchy. As a result, we combined the well-known contraction requirements with controlled fuzzy metric spaces to simplify the proofs of several fixed point theorems. Furthermore, we discussed an application to transform solar energy to electric power. In the future, we will enhance these results in the framework of tripled controlled fuzzy metric spaces and pentagonal controlled fuzzy metrics spaces.
