Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

There are various types of differential and integral equations that arise from problems in engineering, physics, chemistry, and economics, among others. The existence and uniqueness of these equations' solutions have always been major concerns for researchers. The theorems of fixed point and the measure of non-compactness are potent tools for demonstrating the existence and uniqueness of numerous equations of this type. These equations may also be fractional differential equations, fractional integral equations, fractional differential inclusions, or fractional integral inclusions. Numerous researchers are interested in the existence and uniqueness of solutions for systems of differential equations, integral equations, and their fractional types. In addition, many authors are interested in non-compactness measures for numerous Banach spaces.

The aim of this Special Issue of Symmetry is to present some new developments in fixed point theory, the related non-linear problems, measures of non-compactness in different Banach spaces and Banach algebras, and symmetry applications. Our Guest Editor will accept very high-quality papers that contain original results and survey articles of exceptional merit. We invite you to contribute to the Special Issue "Symmetry in Fixed Point Theory and Applications" at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/symmetry/special_issues.

The rationale of this work is to introduce the notion of graphical symmetric spaces and some fixed-point results are proved for H-(ϑ,φ)-contractions in this setting. The idea of graphical symmetric spaces generalizes various spaces equipped with a function which characterizes the distance between two points of the space. Some topological properties of graphical symmetric spaces are discussed. Some fixed-point results for the mappings defined on graphical symmetric spaces are proved. The fixed-point results of this paper generalize and extend several fixed-point results in this new setting. The main results of this paper are applied to obtain the positive solutions of fractional periodic boundary value problems. Full article

This article introduces the novel concept of an extended parametric Sb-metric space, which is a generalization of both Sb-metric spaces and parametric Sb-metric spaces. Within this extended framework, we first establish an analog version of the Banach fixed-point theorem for self-maps. We then prove an improved version of the Banach contraction principle for symmetric extended parametric Sb-metric spaces, using an auxiliary function to establish the desired result. Finally, we provide illustrative examples and an application for determining solutions to Fredholm integral equations, demonstrating the practical implications of our work. Full article

In this paper, we introduce the notion of extended S-metric space of type (α,β). This extension is a generalization of S-metric space, defined by employing two functions instead of considering a constant in the second condition of the S-metric space definition. Accordingly, we prove some fixed-point results and give some examples to illustrate the validity of our work, along with giving an application of the Fredholm integral equation. Full article

The purpose of this paper is to find a common element of the fixed point set of a nonexpansive mapping and the set of solutions of the general split variational inclusion problem in symmetric Hilbert spaces by using the inertial viscosity iterative method. Some strong convergence theorems of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated. As applications, we use our results to study the split feasibility problem and the split minimization problem. Finally, the numerical experiments are presented to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of our theoretical findings, and our results extend and improve many recent ones. Full article

Fixed point theory is a versatile mathematical theory that finds applications in a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, engineering, fractals, and even behavioral sciences. In this study, we propose triple controlled metric-like spaces as a generalization of controlled rectangular metric-like spaces. By examining the Θ-contraction mapping within these spaces, we extend and enhance the existing literature to establish significant fixed point results. Utilizing these findings, we demonstrate the existence of solutions to a Fredholm integral equation and provide an example of a numerical iteration method applicable to a specific case of this Fredholm integral equation.

In this article, we introduce the concept of weak Fm,η-contractions on relation-theoretic m-metric spaces and establish related fixed point theorems, where η is a control function and is a relation. Then, we detail some fixed point results for cyclic-type weak Fm,η-contraction mappings. Finally, we demonstrate some illustrative examples and discuss upper and lower solutions of Volterra-type integral equations of the form ξα=0αAα,σ,ξσmσ+Ψα,α0,1. Full article
