TL;DR
The paper extends fixed point theory to semimetric spaces endowed with triangle functions $\Phi$, enabling generalized contractions beyond standard metric spaces. It develops a unified framework in complete semimetric spaces with a continuous triangle function $\Phi$ and proves fixed point results for partial, weak, Bianchini, and Chatterjea-Bianchini contractions under $\Phi$-based inequalities. The main contributions include existence (and where possible uniqueness) theorems for each contraction type under explicit $\Phi$-based conditions, applicable to metric, $b$-metric, ultrametric, and power-triangle distance spaces. These results broaden the applicability of fixed point theory to diverse spaces and offer potential impact on optimization and computation where non-metric distances arise, by providing stable solution guarantees under triangle-function frameworks.
Abstract
This paper advances a line of research in fixed point theory initiated by M. Bessenyei and Z. Páles, building on their introduction of the triangle function concept in [J. Nonlinear Convex Anal, Vol 18 (3), 515-524 (2017)]. By applying this concept, the study revises several well-known fixed point theorems in metric spaces, extending their applicability to semimetric spaces with triangle functions. The paper focuses on general theorems involving weak, partial, Bianchini and Chatterjea-Bianchini contractions, deriving corollaries relevant to metric spaces, $b$-metric spaces, ultrametric spaces, and distance spaces with power triangle functions. Notably, several new and interesting findings emerge in the context of weak and partial contractions.
