In this paper, we define θ-φ-contraction on a b-metric space into itself by extending θ-φ-contraction introduced by Zheng et al. [D. W. Zheng, Z. Y. Cai, P. Wang, J. Nonlinear Sci. Appl., 10 (2017), 2662-2670] in metric space and also, we prove θ-type theorem in the setting of b-metric spaces as well as θ-φ-type theorem in the framework of b-rectangular metric spaces. Moreover, we give some applications to nonlinear integral equations. We also give illustrative examples to exhibit the utility of our results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
