The aim of the present research article is to solve the system of linear equations using common fixed point theorems in the context of bicomplex valued metric spaces. To obtain our main objective, we introduce generalized contractive conditions in bicomplex valued metric spaces and establish common fixed point theorems for self mappings.

1. Introduction
Sir Carl Fredrich Gauss initiated the concept of a complex number in the 17th century, but his investigations were not on record. Augustin Louis Cauchy began his analysis of complex numbers in 1840, which is considered to be a productive initiator of complex analysis. The concept of complex numbers to solve was not beneficial for in a set of real numbers. In this context, Euler was the first researcher who gave the sign satisfying .
In 1892, Segre [1] began the concept of bicomplex numbers, which give a commutative alternative to the skew field of quaternions. Bicomplex numbers extend the notion of complex numbers as well as quaternions. For the excelling of far-reaching analysis regarding these numbers, we mention the researchers of reference [2]. On the other hand, Azam et al. [3] introduced the notion of complex valued metric space (CVMS) as an expansion of classical metric space and as a particular class of cone metric space. Although Choi et al. [4], in 2017, merged the ideas of CVMS and bicomplex numbers to introduce the concept of bicomplex valued metric spaces (bi-CVMS) and proved common fixed point theorems, later on, Jebril et al. [5] used this concept of bicomplex valued metric space and presented common fixed point theorems for self mappings. In due course, Beg et al. [6] reinforced the notion of bi-complex valued metric space and established some fixed point theorems. Afterwards, Gnanaprakasam et al. [7] added another term in the contractive condition of Beg et al. [6] and generalized its main result. As an application, they investigated a system of linear equations. For the specific features of CVMS and bi-CVMS, we refer the readers to references [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26].
In the present research work, we establish common fixed points of self mappings in the framework of bicomplex valued metric spaces. We give a significant example to demonstrate the legitimacy of the given theorems. We solve the system of linear equations by applying our foremost result.
2. Preliminaries
Throughout this research article, we represent the set of real numbers, set of non-negative real numbers, set of complex numbers, and set of bicomplex numbers as , and , respectively. In 1892, Segre [1] initiated the theory of a bicomplex number
where and the independent units are such that and The set of bicomplex numbers is defined as
that is,
where and If and are any two bicomplex numbers, then the sum is
and the product is
There are four idempotent elements in which are, and , out of which and are nontrivial, such that and Every bicomplex number can be uniquely given as the combination of and , namely
Following this representation, is studied as the idempotent representation of and the complex coefficients and are famous as idempotent components of .
A member is said to be invertible if there exists , such that and is said to be the multiplicative inverse of Also, is the multiplicative inverse of An element which has an inverse in is professed to be the nonsingular element of and an element which does not have an inverse in is professed to be the singular element of
An element is non-singular if and singular if The inverse of is defined as
0 in and in are the only elements that do not have an inverse (multiplicative). We denote by and the sets of singular members of and correspondingly. There are more elements in which do not have a multiplicative inverse. We denote by the sets of singular elements of Clearly,
A bicomplex number is called a degenerate if the matrix
is degenerated. In this case, exists and it is also degenerated.
The norm is defined by

The space is the Banach space with respect to the norm given above. If then

therefore, is not the Banach algebra. The partial order relation on is given as follows:

5. Conclusions
In the present research work, we have established common fixed point results for locally contractive mappings in the background of a bicomplex valued metric space. In such a manner, we have generalized the leading theorems of Beg et al. [6], Gnanaprakasam et al. [7], Hardy-Roger [26], Reich [27], Chatterjea [28], and Kannan [29] in the framework of bicomplex valued metric spaces. We hope that the established results in this research article will form new connections for researchers who are working in the framework of bi-CVMS.
Common fixed points of self and set valued mappings in the background of bi-CVMS can be obtained for future work. Integral equations and inclusions can be examined as utilizations of the established results.
