1. Introduction and Fundamental Facts
Recently, fixed-point (FP) theory has spread widely because of its entry into many vital disciplines, such as topology, game theory, artificial intelligence, dynamical systems (and chaos), logic programming, economics, and optimal control. Furthermore, it has become an essential pillar of nonlinear analysis, where it is used to study the existence and uniqueness of the solutions for many differential and nonlinear integral equations [

10,
11].
Research into fractional derivatives of the Atangana–Baleanu-type and the integral operator of the Atangana–Baleanu-type exploring improvements in engineering sciences has been largely interrelated, which has left open the question of whether a geometrical representation of Atangana–Baleanu fractional derivatives can be established.
To investigate the existence of unique solutions to Fredholm integral equations, many researchers have applied the “FP perspective” as the authoritative research model for different spaces in convergence analysis and compactness. Computer programming scientists study the logical programming semantics under ordinary metric spaces because it is easy to formulate and figure out and is used to prove the results.
Moreover, the applications of FP theory in fractional analysis cannot be denied. This trend is important in modeling many phenomena in many areas of science and construction. Fractional-order differential equations (FODEs) have numerous applications in electrochemistry, viscoelasticity, dynamic systems, porous media control, polymer functional science, electromagnetism, and so forth; for example, see [
12,
13,
14,
15,
16,
17,
18,
19].
In addition, the FP technique is heavily involved in the solution of many fractional differential and integral equations, as well as the boundary value problems (BVPs) resulting from the fractional input. For more details, we suggest the works of [
20,
21,
22,
23,
24,
25,
26] to the reader.
The main advantage of using fractional differential equations is related to the fact that we can describe the dynamics of complex nonlocal systems with memory. Moreover, nonlinear analysis is used in the study of dynamical systems represented by nonlinear differential and integral equations. Since some of these equations representing a dynamic system have no analytic solution, studying the perturbation of these problems is very useful. There are different types of perturbed differential equations, and an important type here is called hybrid differential equations [
27]. Since then, this method has become a way of life for researchers.
In the setting of partially metric spaces, interpolative-type contractions were introduced by Aydi et al. [
28]. They called it interpolative contractions and obtained some recent FP results in the mentioned space.
Recently, the ordinary metric space was extended to a
-metric space (
-MS) by Jleli and Samet [
29] as follows:
Definition 1. [29] Assume that is a set function that satisfies the hypotheses below For all , we have that is θ is nondecreasing;
For each sequence we obtain
A -MS is presented as follows:
Definition 2. [29] Let B be a nonempty set and be a given mapping. Suppose that there is , such that for all For all and for each with we obtainthen the pair is called a Θ
-MS.
Definition 3. [29] A sequence in is Θ
-Cauchy, if Moreover, is Θ
-complete, if every Θ
-Cauchy sequence is Θ
-convergent in The example below was shown by [
29].
Example 1. [29] Assume that then the pair is a Θ
-MS if we define Ω
byfor all and Moreover, Ω
does not form a metric, but it is a Θ
-MS. Based on the above result, a simple Banach fixed-point theorem was proved by Jleli and Samet [
29] as follows:
Theorem 1. [29] Let be a Θ
-MS and be a give mapping, then L has a unique FP provided that the assertions below are fulfilled - (1)
is Θ-complete;
- (2)
There is a constant such that
The class of
-admissible mappings was described in 2012 by Samet et al. [
30] as follows:
Definition 4. [30] Assume that A self-mapping L on B is called α-admissible, if and implies that After that, the notion of
-admissible mappings was modified by Hussain and Salimi [
31] as the definition below.
Definition 5. [31] Suppose that are two given functions. A self-mapping L on B is called an α-admissible mapping with respect to (w.r.t.) if and leads to It should be noted that if we set then Definition 5 reduces to Definition 4, and if we choose then L is said to be an -subadmissible mapping.
Karapinar and Samet [
32] presented the concept of
-continuous mappings as follows.
Definition 6. [32] Let be a metric space and be two functions. A self-mapping L is called an -continuous mapping, if there are and the sequence such that and for all Moreover, a mapping
is called orbitally continuous (OC) in
if
A mapping L is called OC on B if it is OC for all
Based on what was previously mentioned in this paper, some new rational symmetric -contractions are shown. Furthermore, some fixed-point theorems were obtained under these conditions. In addition, some illustrative examples of the theoretical results are addressed. Finally, the theoretical results were involved in the treatment of the analytical solution to a fractional-order differential equation with one boundary condition.
2. Rational Symmetric -Contraction of Kind (I)
In this part, we introduce a novel rational symmetric -contraction of kind (I).

8. Conclusions
The objective of this manuscript was to produce four new classes of type contractions. This research focused on new concepts of symmetric -contractions of type (I), type (II), type (III), and type (IV) and inferred some fixed-points for such contractions in the setting of -metric spaces. This research will open a new avenue of fractional fixed-point theory. We developed Suzuki-type fixed-point results in orbitally complete F-metric space. These, new investigations and applications will enhance the impact of the new setup.
