1. Introduction
In various mathematical and applied contexts, the fixed point (FP) theory offers an effective tool to demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of solutions to different problems in Stability analysis, Optimization, economics, game theory, social sciences, Topology, geometry, Numerical analysis, and functional analysis. These are only a few examples illustrating the significance of FP theory. Its widespread use makes it an essential and adaptable tool for mathematical analysis and its applications in the sciences and engineering. It proves the existence of FPs under specific assumptions, which frequently leads to finding solutions to numerous mathematical problems.
In 1922, Banach [
1] introduced the Banach FP theorem, and it was proved by Caccioppoli [
2] in 1931. The Banach and Caccioppoli FP theorem guarantees that the function must have an FP under some conditions. Branciari [
3] proved the Banach–Caccioppoli FP theorem using a class of generalized metric space. In 2014, Jleli and Samet [
4] formulated the new idea of
-contraction and proved several FP theorems for similar mappings in complete metric spaces (MSs). Samet et al. [
5] established FP theorems for α-𝜘-contractive mappings. Ahmad et al. [
6] demonstrated FP consequence for generalized
-contractions. Arshed et al. [
7] established some FP consequences by utilizing a universal contraction with triangular α-orbital admissible mappings in the context of Branciari metric spaces.
Goradji et al. [
8] provided the notion of an orthogonal set (OS) and generalized the Banach FP theorem. Diminnie [
9] presented a new orthogonality relation for normed linear spaces. Further, several FP results for orthogonal (generalized) metric spaces have been proved by Javed et al. [
10]. Uddin et al. [
11,
12] presented several FP results in the framework of orthogonal metric spaces (OMSs). Aydi et al. [
13,
14] modified 𝐹-contractions via 𝛼-admissible mappings and generalized admissible- Meir–Keeler contractions in the context of generalized metric spaces. Karapınar and Samet [
15] generalized α-ψ contractive-type mappings and related FP theorems using other applications (see [
16,
17,
18,
19] for related results). Ahmad et al. [
20,
21] proved several FP results for generalized 𝜃-contractions and
expansive locally contractive mappings. Ciric [
22] and Jleli et al. [
23] presented the generalization of Banach’s contraction principle by utilizing different ideas. Naeem et al. [
24] and Aljahdaly et al. [
25] worked on different fractional operators. For an applications point of view, see the works provided by Manafian [
26] and Manafian and Allahverdiyeva [
27].
Inspired by [
4], in this article, we present the notion of an orthogonal alpha–theta-contraction (
-contraction) and provided several generalized FP theorems in the context of orthogonal complete metric spaces (OCMS).
