Some new observations on fixed point results in rectangular metric spaces with applications to chemical sciences

Abstract

Introduction/purpose: This paper considers, generalizes and improves recent results on fixed points in rectangular metric spaces. The aim of this paper is to provide much simpler and shorter proofs of some new results in rectangular metric spaces. Methods: Some standard methods from the fixed point theory in generalized metric spaces are used. Results: The obtained results improve the well-known results in the literature. The new approach has proved that the Picard sequence is Cauchy in rectangular metric spaces. The obtained results are used to prove the existence of solutions to some nonlinear problems related to chemical sciences. Finally, an open question is given for generalized contractile mappings in rectangular metric spaces. Conclusions: New results are given for fixed points in rectangular metric spaces with application to some problems in chemical sciences.

On Some Common Fixed Point Results for Weakly Contraction Mappings with Application

“…In 2015, Ege [21] introduced complex valued rectangular b-metric space and proved an analogue of the Banach contraction principle in this space. Recently, Younis et al [22] provided much simpler and shorter proofs of some new results in rectangular metric spaces, and Mitrovic et al [23] gave a proof of the results of Miculescu and Mihail [24] and Suzuki [25] in extended b -metric spaces. In graphical b-metric spaces, Younis et al presented fixed point results for Kannan-type and Reichtype mappings in [26,27].…”

Homotopic Parametric Continuation Method for Determining Stationary States of Chemical Reactors with Dispersion

“…The analytical solution of these equations is impossible due to their nonlinearity. Therefore, various types of numerical methods are used to determine stationary solutions of such systems [2,3]. However, not every numerical method is useful and effective; for example, Newton's iterative method is completely useless when there are socalled multiple stationary states [1].…”
