1. Introduction
The inception of the first fixed-point result dates back approximately a century. The technique of successive approximation for solving differential equations was initially formalized by S. Banach [
1], who subsequently characterized it as a concept rooted in contraction mapping. The Banach hypothesis was not only articulated in a clear and straightforward manner but was also exemplified by illustrating the methodology to reach the desired fixed point. Fixed-point theory holds significant relevance across various qualitative sciences, capturing the fascination of researchers due to its simplicity in converting equations from diverse research domains into fixed-point problems. Numerous authors have expanded and generalized Banach’s fixed-point result in various directions, as documented in [
2]. Notably, Eshaghi Gordji, Ramezani, De la Sen, and Cho [
3] recently introduced the concept of an orthogonal set and put forth fixed-point results within the context of 
O-MS (orthogonal metric spaces).
In 2012, Wardowski [
4] introduced a novel category of 
F-contractions, accompanied by the establishment of several fixed-point theorems. Mahendra Singh, Y., Khan, M. S., and Kang, S. M. [
5] pioneered the concept of 
–
F–convex contraction mappings using an admissible map and subsequently validated their proposition with the proof of various fixed-point theorems. In the year 2020, Sawangsup, Sintunavarat, and Cho [
6] introduced the innovative concept of an orthogonal 
F–contraction map, providing proofs for fixed-point results within the orthogonal CMS (complete metric space). The exploration of orthogonal contractive-type maps has been a subject of study by various authors, yielding significant outcomes, as documented in [
7,
8,
9,
10,
11,
12,
13].
In this paper, we adapt the notion of –F–convex contraction maps to orthogonal sets, presenting several fixed-point results applicable to –F–convex contraction mappings within the framework of orthogonal complete metric spaces. Additionally, we leverage our primary findings to determine the existence and uniqueness of solutions for fractional integro-differential equations.
  2. Preliminaries
In this section, we review fundamental concepts that are employed in this paper. Throughout this paper, we denote the non-empty set, the non-negative real numbers, and the positive integer set by , , and , respectively.
First of all, we note the Wardowski [
4] notion of a control function established in 2012.
Definition 1 ([
4]). 
Let  be a map with the subsequent conditions:- (F1)
 F is strictly increasing;
- (F2)
 For every sequence  of , we have - (F3)
 
 ℑ denotes the family of all F functions that fulfills the conditions .
Later, in 2018, Mahendra Singh, Khan, and Kang [
5] introduced the concepts of the 
–convex contraction via admissible mapping as follows. Let 
 be a mapping on a metric space 
. We denote
      
Definition 2 ([
5]). 
A self mapping  on Ψ is said to be an α––convex contraction, if there exists two functions ,  and  such thatfor all , where . Now, the definition of the 
O-set (or orthogonal-set), orthogonal sequence, ⊩-preserving, some premises, and examples of an orthogonal set were initiated by Gordji et al. [
3], as follows:
Definition 3 ([
3]). 
Let  and  be a binary relation. If ⊩ fulfills the consecutive condition:then  is called an O-set. This  element does not have to be unique. For example:
Example 1 ([
3]). 
Let  and define it by  if . Then, by setting  or ,  is an O-set. Definition 4 ([
3]). 
Let  be an O-set. A sequence  is called an orthogonal sequence (briefly, O-sequence) if Definition 5 ([
3]). 
Let  be an O-set. A function  is said to be ⊩-preserving if  whenever . Now, we give the notions of O-MS, orthogonal complete (briefly, O-complete), orthogonally continuous, orthogonally -admissible, and orthogonally -admissible.
Definition 6 ([
3]). 
The tripled  is said to be an O-metric space if  is an O-set and  is a metric space. Definition 7 ([
3]). 
Let  be a O-metric space. Then,A map  is called orthogonal continuous (⊩-continuous) in  if for each O-sequence  in Ψ with  as , we have  as . Also,  is called ⊩-continuous on Ψ if  is ⊩-continuous in each .
If every Cauchy O-sequence is convergent, then Ψ is called O-complete.
 Definition 8 ([
14]). 
Let  be an O-set and d be a metric on Ψ,  and  be two functions. We say that  is orthogonally α-admissible whenever  and  Example 2 ([
14]). 
Let . Define ⊩ on Ψ by  iff . Define  and  by  if  and  if    and . Then,  is orthogonally α-admissible. Let  be a map on . We denote .
Definition 9. Let  be an orthogonally α-admissible map. Then,  is called orthogonally -admissible, if for each , we have , . If , we say that  is vacuously -admissible.

   4. Application to Fractional Integro-Differential Equation
We consider a Cauchy problem involving a fractional integro-differential equation with a non-local condition given by
      
      where

 of all continuous maps from

15].
Let

 defined as

In this paper, we introduced the new orthogonal concept of –F–convex contraction mappings on O-CMS and proved some related fixed-point results. We have discussed a numerical experiment for approximating the fixed-point results. Finally, we obtained a simple and efficient solution for the fractional integro-differential equation by using the fixed-point technique in the setting of O-CMS.
