1. Introduction
Fixed-point theory is an established and classic mathematical subject with many applications. It is now an enormously developing and fascinating mathematical discipline with considerable implications in a variety of fields. Establishing a strong well-posedness strategy for the existence of solutions to complicated problems is one of the most powerful breakthroughs in this subject. This research study aims to offer an improved and effective approach for identifying such suitable scenarios to ensure the solution of coupled problems via fixed-point theory tools.
Banach [
1] proposed the iconic Banach contraction principle (BCP) in 1922, later acknowledged as an efficient approach for obtaining unique fixed points. Researchers have been attempting to expand this idea by either embellishing the contraction condition or altering the properties of metric space in numerous contexts. Interested readers are encouraged to look at some recent extensions of BCP for finding fixed points and coupled fixed points in work by [

Inner product spaces are a subclass of normed spaces that are significantly older than ordinary normed spaces. Their theory is more comprehensive and retains many aspects of Euclidean space, including orthogonality as a core term. A remarkable work by D. Hilbert [
15] on integral equations sparked the entire theory of these special spaces. Many people started working in this field using fixed-point theory techniques (one can see some useful results in [
16,
17,
18,
19,
20]). Recently, S. Kim [
21] presented some results in Hilbert spaces using coupled implicit relations, inspired by M Pitchaimani [
22]. After giving some useful results, he constructed a scheme for the well-posedness of a coupled fixed-point problem. He was inspired by recent efforts by [
23,
24,
25,
26,
27].
Apart from the preceding works, further research is needed in Hilbert spaces using rational contraction conditions via implicit relation. Following the previous findings, we investigate coupled fixed-point theorems for a class of self-mappings in Hilbert space, adopting asymptotically regular settings in sequences. We investigate feasible conditions for the existence of solutions to coupled fixed-point problems and designed a technique for guaranteeing the well-posedness of a coupled fixed-point problem.

A sequence is said to be convergent at , if Definition 3. In a linear normed space , is called a Cauchy sequence iffor all If every Cauchy sequence is convergent in , then is called a Banach space, and Hilbert spaces are Banach spaces. Definition 4. A mapping is said to be continuous at some if for any sequences and , we havewhere and The notion of coupled fixed points for continuous and discontinuous nonlinear operators was given by D. Guo and V. Lakshmikantham [
28] in 1987. Some basic ideas regarding coupled fixed points are recalled below:
Definition 5. A point is a called common fixed point of if
Definition 6. A point is called a coupled fixed point of if The set of all coupled fixed points of in is denoted by
Definition 7. (see [23]) A point is called a common coupled fixed point of if,and Definition 8. In a Hilbert space, is called an asymptotically -regular sequence if it fulfills the following condition, Definition 9. If and be two sequences in a Hilbert space, then the pair is called coupled asymptotically -regular if In 1999, V. Popa [
29] incorporated the notion of implicit relation in the framework of fixed-point theory. He described several helpful characteristics of implicit relation and outlined some consequences. Later on, these characteristics were extended to various spaces. Encouraged by their work, we provide a new criterion for such relation as follows:
Definition 10. Let be a continuous function and it is non-decreasing in the fourth argument; then, the following relation is called a coupled implicit relation for all if,

From now on, any function satisfying this implicit relation will be a member of -family.
Definition 11. In a Hilbert space the pair is said to satisfy a ψ-contraction if for all we havewhere -family. 3. Main Results
In this section, we present some results for the existence and uniqueness of coupled fixed points of a self-mapping using rational type contractions endowed with implicit relation. Furthermore, we offer a fine condition for locating coupled fixed points for a sequence of self-mappings in Hilbert spaces.

Consider ; then, Here, we have used the fact that the inequality holds with both possible choices of maximum value of above mentioned function. Hence, all the conditions of Corollary (2) are satisfied, proving that is a coupled fixed point

4. Well-Posedness Theorem
The concept of the well-posedness of a fixed-point problem has captured the attention of various scholars, which can be observed in [
30,
31,
32,
33,
34]. One can also see the most recent work performed by Dong Ji et al. [
35] ensuring suitable conditions for coupled problems using Mann’s iteration scheme. Now, we demonstrate the well-posedness of a coupled fixed-point problem of self-mapping in Corollary 2.
Definition 12. If we define a self map on a Hilbert space , then the fixed-point problem of is said to be a well-posed problem if

- 2.
For a sequence if then
Definition 13. Let be a Hilbert space and define . A coupled fixed-point problem on for a self-mapping is said to be a well-posed problem if the following conditions are satisfied,

- 2.
For asymptotically -regular sequences where is a coupled fixed points of .
Theorem 4. Let be a closed subset of a Hilbert space and define such that
- 1.
is continuous at its coupled fixed point;
- 2.
is a ψ-contraction;
- 3.
For any sequences and , we have
Then, the coupled fixed-point problem of is well-posed.
Proof From Corollary (2),

Let for the sequences
, we have
such that
for any
Using

as
for
, so we obtain
Similarly, one can easily obtain
Thus,
which completes the proof. □
5. Conclusions and Future Work
In this article, we presented some important results for the existence and uniqueness of coupled fixed points of self-mappings in a Hilbert space. We also offered a well-posedness scheme for coupled problems using generalized contraction conditions via implicit relation. One can observe that this novel extension in Hilbert spaces generalizes some results presented by Pitchaimani et al. [
22] and K.S Kim [
21] by restricting
in our Definition 10 from
to
. In the future, one can expand such functions satisfying an implicit relation from
to
, where
. After investigating more suitable properties of such functions, one can check the validity of our proven results. Expanding these results in 2-Banach spaces would also be an appreciative effort.
