Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

 

In this Special Issue, we solicit contributions dealing with fixed-point theorems from a general point of view regarding original concepts or ideas into recent advances of this theory, avoiding any trivial extension of results already consolidated, possibly accompanied by concrete examples. We recommend to the authors to consider in the theorems symmetric inequalities or symmetric conditions with respect to the metric (or hyper-metric if multifunctions are involved) used, i.e., anyone can obtain a dual result by considering dual definitions based simply on the change of variables, inequality sign, etc.


For example, this happens mainly in common fixed-point theorems where the use of two (multi-) functions must be interchangeable, i.e., a concept depending on one of two functions must hold with respect to the other. Very often, looking at some of the papers published, if f and g are self-maps of a metric space, some definitions seem only dependent on f and do not hold if g should assume the same role as f. Our aim is to emphasize this aspect mainly in this journal whose title obliges us to keep in mind the above recommendation. Following this line of thought, common fixed-point theorems (which motivates the second part of the title of this Special Issue) are welcome in the context of general environments, but this aspect is left to the discretion of the authors.


Our aim is for this Special Issue to collect meaningful papers which give a jolt to this theory.

One of the latest techniques in metric fixed point theory is the interpolation approach. This notion has so far been examined using standard functional equations. A hybrid form of this concept is yet to be uncovered by observing the available literature. With this background information, and based on the symmetry and rectangular properties of generalized metric spaces, this paper introduces a novel and unified hybrid concept under the name interpolative Y-Hardy–Rogers–Suzuki-type Z-contraction and establishes sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed points for such contractions. As an application, one of the obtained results was employed to examine new criteria for the existence of a solution to a boundary valued problem arising in the oscillation of a spring. The ideas proposed herein advance some recently announced important results in the corresponding literature. A comparative example was constructed to justify the abstractions and pre-eminence of our obtained results. Full article

This study aims to provide some new classes of (α,β,F*)-weak Geraghty contraction and (α,β,F**)-weak Geraghty contraction, which are self-generalized contractions on any metric space. Furthermore, we find that the mappings satisfying the definition of such contractions have a unique fixed point if the underlying space is complete. In addition, we provide an application showing the uniqueness of the solution of the two-point boundary value problem. Full article

The purpose of this paper is to present some new contraction mappings via control functions. In addition, some fixed point results for Θ,α,θ,Ψ contraction, rational Θ,α,θ,Ψ contraction and almost Θ,α,θ,Ψ contraction mappings are obtained. Moreover, under contraction mappings of types (I), (II), and (III) of Θ,θ,Ψυ0, several fixed circle solutions are provided in the setting of a G-Metric space. Our results extend, unify, and generalize many previously published papers in this direction. In addition, some examples to show the reliability of our results are presented. Finally, a supporting application that discusses the possibility of a solution to a nonlinear integral equation is incorporated. Full article

In this research, we establish some new fixed-point results for a symmetric coupled dominated fuzzy mapping satisfying a new advanced contraction on a closed ball in the setting of complete fuzzy metric spaces. In addition, the new notion of hybrid fuzzy-graph-dominated mappings introduced in fuzzy metric spaces achieves some new advanced fuzzy fixed-point problems. Some new definitions and illustrative examples are given to validate our new findings. Lastly, to demonstrate the originality of our new results, we present an application to the Fredholm-type integral equation. Full article

As it is not always true that the distance between the points in fuzzy rectangular metric spaces is one, so we introduce the notions of rectangular and b-rectangular metric-like spaces in fuzzy set theory that generalize many existing results, which can be regarded as the main advantage of this paper. In these spaces, the symmetry property is preserved, but the self distance may not be equal to one. We discuss topological properties and demonstrate that neither of these spaces is Hausdorff. Using αψ-contraction and Geraghty contractions, respectively, in our main results, we establish fixed point results in these spaces. We present examples that justify our definitions and results. We use our main results to demonstrate that the solution of a nonlinear fractional differential equation for HIV is unique. Full article

This paper studies a general p-contractive condition of a self-mapping T on X, where X ,d is either a metric space or a dislocated metric space, which combines the contribution to the upper-bound of dTx,Ty, where x and y are arbitrary elements in X of a weighted combination of the distances dx,y ,dx,Tx,dy,Ty,dx,Ty,dy,Tx, dx,Txdy,Ty and dx,Tydy,Tx. The asymptotic regularity of the self-mapping T on X and the convergence of Cauchy sequences to a unique fixed point are also discussed if X,d is complete. Subsequently, T, S generalized cyclic p-contraction pairs are discussed on a pair of non-empty, in general, disjoint subsets of X. The proposed contraction involves a combination of several distances associated with the T, S-pair. Some properties demonstrated are: (a) the asymptotic convergence of the relevant sequences to best proximity points of both sets is proved; (b) the best proximity points are unique if the involved subsets are closed and convex, the metric is norm induced, or the metric space is a uniformly convex Banach space. It can be pointed out that both metric and a metric-like (or dislocated metric) possess the symmetry property since their respective distance values for any given pair of elements of the corresponding space are identical after exchanging the roles of both elements.

Our main goal in this paper is to investigate stochastic ternary antiderivatives (STAD). First, we will introduce the random ternary antiderivative operator. Then, by introducing the aggregation function using special functions such as the Mittag-Leffler function (MLF), the Wright function (WF), the H-Fox function (HFF), the Gauss hypergeometric function (GHF), and the exponential function (EXP-F), we will select the optimal control function by performing the necessary calculations. Next, by considering the symmetric matrix-valued FB-algebra (SMV-FB-A) and the symmetric matrix-valued FC-⋄-algebra (SMV-FC-⋄-A), we check the superstability of the desired operator. After stating each result, the superstability of the minimum is obtained by applying the optimal control function. Full article

Additionally, we establish the concept of orthogonal dynamic system (ODS) as a generalization of the dynamic system (DS), which improves the existing results for analysies such as those presented here. By applying this, some new refinements of the F-Suzuki-type (F-ST) fixed-point results are presented. These include some tangible instances, and applications in the field of nonlinear analysis are given to highlight the usability and validity of the theoretical results. Full article

In this paper, we extend the idea of α-ψ contraction mapping to the product spaces by introducing Prešić–Ćirić-type α-ψ contractions and utilize them to prove some coincidence and common fixed-point theorems in the context of ordered metric spaces using α-admissibility of the mapping. Our newly established results generalize a number of well-known fixed-point theorems from the literature. Moreover, we give some examples that attest to the credibility of our results. Further, we give an application to the nonlinear integral equations, which can be employed to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the integral equations. Full article

Moreover, based on the obtained fixed point results and the property of symmetry, we inaugurate a fixed point result for graphic generalized Geraghty F-contractions defined on partial metric spaces endowed with a directed graph. As an application, we examine the existence of a unique solution to the first-order periodic boundary value by the obtained fixed point result. Moreover, some examples are presented to illustrate the validity of the new results. Full article
