Fixed-Point Approaches for Multi-Valued Contraction Mappings in a Novel Space With an Application

Abstract

The vital goals of this manuscript are to combine metric-like spaces with S-metric spaces under a control function to obtain a new space called the controlled S-metric-like spaces (CSMLSs, for short). Under this name, many fixed-point (FP) results have been obtained for multi-valued mappings (MVMs). In addition, we present several non-trivial examples to back up our statements. The results obtained generalize and unify many results in the same direction. Finally, to support and test the adequacy of the theoretical results, the existence of the solution to the differential inclusion problem (DIP) was studied as a type of application.
