Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Fractional calculus and fixed point theory are the two interrelated disciplines of modern mathematics which have emerged as indispensable tools in the modeling of diverse processes in engineering and physical sciences. These techniques and tools are multidisciplinary in nature and have widespread applications in the study of physical systems. Differential equations, integral equations, wavelet analysis, optimization, and approximation theory are just a few examples that extensively utilize these two topics. The increased complexity in physical phenomena and engineering experiments continually seeks the advancement of these analytic tools in terms of fractional calculus and fixed point theory.

This Special Issue will collect new research findings of the highest quality with novel and illustrative examples and a long-lasting impact on the existing literature to further advance progress in fractional calculus and fixed point theory.

After the initiation of Jachymski’s contraction principle via digraph, the area of metric fixed point theory has attracted much attention. A number of outcomes on fixed points in the context of graph metric space employing various types of contractions have been investigated. The aim of this paper is to investigate some fixed point theorems for a class of nonlinear contractions in a metric space endued with a transitive digraph. The outcomes presented herewith improve, extend and enrich several existing results. Employing our findings, we describe the existence and uniqueness of a singular fractional boundary value problem.

In this paper, a large class of contractions is studied that contains Banach and Matkowski maps as particular cases. Sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed points are proposed in the framework of b-metric spaces. The convergence and stability of the Picard iterations are analyzed, giving error estimates for the fixed-point approximation. Afterwards, the iteration proposed by Kirk in 1971 is considered, studying its convergence, stability, and error estimates in the context of a quasi-normed space. The properties proved can be applied to other types of contractions, since the self-maps defined contain many others as particular cases. For instance, if the underlying set is a metric space, the contractions of type Kannan, Chatterjea, Zamfirescu, Ćirić, and Reich are included in the class of contractivities studied in this paper. These findings are applied to the construction of fractal surfaces on Banach algebras, and the definition of two-variable frames composed of fractal mappings with values in abstract Hilbert spaces.

Abstract
In the present paper, we obtain three results on the existence of a fixed point for nonexpansive mappings. Two of them are generalizations of the result for F-contraction, while third one is a generalization of a recent result for set-valued contractions. Full article

In this manuscript, we prove numerous results concerning fixed points, common fixed points, coincidence points, coupled coincidence points, and coupled common fixed points for (ϕ,Ψ)-contractive mappings in the framework of partially ordered controlled metric spaces. Our findings introduce a novel perspective on this mathematical context, and we illustrate the uniqueness of our findings through various explanatory examples. Also, we apply the main result to find the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the system of integral equations as an application. Full article
