Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to establish common fixed points of six mappings in the context of bicomplex valued metric spaces. In this way, we generalize some previous well-known results from the literature. Moreover, we provide a non-trivial example to demonstrate the authenticity of established outcomes. As an application, we investigate the solution of an Urysohn integral equation by applying our results.

1. Introduction
The disclosure of complex numbers was established in the 17th century by Sir Carl Fredrich Gauss, but his work was not on the record. Then, in the year 1840, Augustin Louis Cauchy started analyzing complex numbers. Cauchy is known to be an effective founder of complex analysis. The theory of complex numbers has its source in the solution of , which was not worthwhile for in the set of real numbers. Based on this background, Euler was the first mathematician to present the symbol for with the property .
The starting point for bicomplex numbers was provided by Segre [1], supporting a commutative substitute for the skew field of quaternions. These numbers generalize and extend the complex numbers more firmly and specifically to quaternions. For an excellent investigation of the study of bicomplex numbers, we refer the reader to [2]. In 2011, Azam et al. [3] proposed the theory of complex valued metric space (CVMS) as a generalization and extension of cone metric space and classical metric space. In 2017, Choi et al. [4] linked the concepts of bicomplex numbers and complex valued metric spaces and introduced the notion of bicomplex valued metric spaces (bi-CVMS). They established common fixed point results for weakly compatible mappings. Subsequently, Jebril et al. [5], utilized this notion of newly introduced space and proved common fixed point results under rational contractions for a pair of mappings in the background of bi-CVMS. Later on, Beg et al. [6] strengthened the notion of bi-CVMS and obtained generalized fixed point theorems. Recently, Gnanaprakasam et al. [7] established some common fixed point results for rational contraction in bi-CVMSs and solved a system of linear equations as an application of their main result. For more characteristics in the direction of CVMS and bi-CVMS, we refer the researchers to [8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27].
In this article, we establish common fixed points of six self-mappings in the context of bicomplex valued metric spaces. Some previous well-known results of literature are generalized in this way. Moreover, we provide a non-trivial example to show the authenticity of established outcomes. As an application, we investigate the solution of an Urysohn integral equation by applying our results.
2. Preliminaries
We describe and as the set of real, complex and bicomplex numbers, correspondingly. Segre [1] set out the notion of bicomplex numbers in this manner.
where and the independent units are such that and We represent the set of bicomplex numbers by and it 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 , of which and are non-trivial, such that and Every bicomplex number can uniquely be given as the combination of and , namely
This characterization of ℏ is studied as the idempotent characterization of and the complex coefficients and are known as idempotent components of ℏ.
A member is called invertible if there is one more member , such that and ℘ is called the multiplicative inverse of Accordingly ℏ is called the multiplicative inverse of A member which has an inverse in is called a non-singular element of and a member which does not have an inverse in is called a singular element of
A member is non-singular if and only if and singular if and only if The inverse of ℏ is defined as
0 in and in are the only members which do not have multiplicative inverses. We represent the set of singular elements of and by and , respectively. However, in more than one member does not have a multiplicative inverse. We represent the set of a singular member of by Evidently,
A bicomplex number is said to be degenerated if the matrix
is degenerated. In that case, exists, and it is also degenerated.
The norm is defined by
where
The linear space with reference to the defined norm is a normed linear space; also, is complete, hence is a Banach space. If then

therefore is not a Banach algebra. The partial-order relation on is defined as:
where
It follows that
if one of these assertions is satisfied:
Specifically, we can write if and that is, (i), (ii) or (iii) is satisfied, and we will write if only (iv) is satisfied. For we have
(i)
(ii)
(iii) where a is a non-negative real number,
(iv)
(v)
(vi) if ℘ is a degenerated bicomplex number.

5. Conclusions
This article expands on the concept of bicomplex valued metric space in order to establish common fixed points of six mappings for generalized contractions. A non-trivial example is also provided to show the validity of the obtained results. At the end of this paper, we applied our result to discuss the solution of Urysohn integral equation. We believe that the established results in this paper will establish a contemporary link for investigators working in bicomplex valued metric space.
Common fixed points of multivalued mappings and fuzzy mappings in the context of bicomplex valued metric space can be an interesting outline for future work in this direction. Differential and integral inclusions can be investigated as applications of these results.
