Abstract
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.
1. Introduction
Fixed-point theory is a famous field of functional analysis with a lot of applications in different fields of both pure and applied mathematics. In the metric fixed point (FP), Banach [1] first proposed the Banach contraction theorem, which has become more important with vast applications. In nonlinear analysis, FP theory is a large and active area of research. It is used to solve differential equations, integral equations, nonlinear and functional analysis, as well as other computer sciences and engineering problems. The notion of the fuzzy set, and some basic operations on the fuzzy set, was introduced by Zaddeh [2]. The fuzzy set has proven quite hopeful and fruitful in modeling human participation in human–ground intellect to achieve innovation in many fields such as data analysis, data mining, image coding explaining, and also for intelligence systems that are new notional systems to assist human-centric frames.
In 1982, Deng [3] introduced fuzzy pseudo-metric spaces and discussed two fuzzy points. Grabiec [4] and George et al. [5] proved Baire’s theorem for fuzzy metric spaces (FMSs) along with other well-known metric spaces facts, including a Hausdorff topology on the FMS that Kramosil [6] and Kaleva et al. [7] proposed. Moreover, Beg et al. [8], Manro et al. [9], Qiu et al. [10], and Rehman et al. [11] discussed different FP problems and related applications in FMSs. We can create a triangle inequality that is similar to the ordinary triangle inequality by defining an ordering and an addition in the set of fuzzy numbers. Similarly, Weiss [12] and Butnariu [13] established the concept of fuzzy maps and showed many significant results in the field theory of FPs.
Heilpern [14] proved an important FP theorem for fuzzy maps that is more general than Nadler’s set-valued result [15]. Inspired from Heilpern’s results, FP theory for fuzzy contraction utilizing the Hausdorff metric spaces has become more important in various directions by many researchers [16,17,18,19]. Furthermore, Shamas et al. [20] presented unique FP problems for various self-contractive mappings in FMSs by utilizing the “triangular property of the FMS”. They also provided some examples to back up their conclusions. They also demonstrated an application by solving a specific situation of a second-order Fredholm integral equation (FIE). Recently, Rasham et al. [21] established the existence of fuzzy FP theorems for advanced local contraction in complete multiplicative metric spaces with applications to integral and functional equations in dynamical programming. In this paper, we prove some new symmetrical fuzzy FP theorems satisfying a generalized local contraction for a hybrid pair of fuzzy-dominated mappings in FMSs. Some new FP theorems for a couple of fuzzy-graph-dominated contraction on a closed ball in such spaces. Illustrative examples are provided in detail to validate our obtained findings. Lastly, to show the originality of our main FP theorems, we apply it to prove the existence of a common solution of FIEs. We present the definitions and outcomes that we use in the initiation.

3. Fixed-Point Result for Graph Contractions
Here, we prove an important application of Theorem 1 in graph theory. Jachymski [22] established the comparable result in metric spaces endowed with a graph that initiates the notion of graphic contractions in metric FP theory. Hussain et al. [23] gave FP results for graphic contraction including an application to a system of integral equations. If there exists a distance between any two different vertices, then the graph is said to be a connected graph [24,25,26,27,28,29].

4. Application to Fredhlom-Type Integral Equations
Clearly, many authors have proven many different types of linear and nonlinear-Volterra and Fredhlom integral equations (FIEs) by applying the generalized contractions principle. Aydi at al. [30], Hussain et al. [31], Nashine et al. [32], Rasham et al. [17], and Rehman et al. [11] proved significant FP results for the existence of a solution of linear and nonlinear integral equations. For further FP results with applications to the system of integral equations, see [33,34,35].
Let be the set consisting of all continuous real-valued functions on where . Now, we prove a special case of FIEs for the second type given by:

5. Conclusions
In this paper, we prove the existence of some new symmetrical fuzzy FP results for -dominated mappings satisfying a new generalized advanced contraction on Ϲ-bàƖ in complete FMSs. In addition, some new definitions and examples are introduced. Furthermore, the notion of fuzzy-graph-dominated mappings is established in FMSs and some common fuzzy FP point theorems are proven for graphic contraction. Some illustrative examples are presented to show the validity of our new obtained results. To demonstrate the originality of our work, we give an application to an FIE that investigates the unique solution under a certain generalized contraction. Our results generalize many latest results [11,18,20,26,28,34] and many classical results in the literature. The obtained results improve and refine the corresponding results in the ordered metric space, ordered dislocated metric space, and partial metric spaces. The research work performed in this paper, in the future, will set a direction to work on families of fuzzy mappings, bipolar fuzzy mappings, L-fuzzy mappings, and intuitionistic fuzzy mappings.
