Fixed-Point Theorems in $b$-Metric Spaces via a Novel Simulation Function
Anuradha Gupta, Rahul Mansotra
TL;DR
The paper addresses fixed-point results in generalized $b$-metric spaces by introducing a novel $\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{R}}$-simulation function framework. It builds on prior simulation-function theory to formulate $\mathfrak{J}_{_{\mathbb{A}_{\mathbb{R}}}}$-contractions and proves a fixed-point theorem ensuring existence and uniqueness of a fixed point under these contractions on complete $b$-metric spaces. The approach combines sequence arguments to establish Cauchy behavior and leverages the contraction inequality to force convergence, with several explicit finite-space examples demonstrating a concrete fixed point (often $3$) and illustrating the constructions. The work extends classical metric-fixed-point principles to a broader $b$-metric setting and offers a practical, verifiable framework for nonlinear contractions in generalized spaces.
Abstract
This paper introduces a new type of simulation function within the framework of $b$-metric spaces, leading to the derivation of fixed-point results in this general setting. We explore the theoretical implications of these results and demonstrate their utility through a concrete example.
