This study introduces extended Branciari quasi-b-distance spaces, a novel implicit contractive condition in the underlying space, and basic fixed-point results, a weak well-posed property, a weak limit shadowing property and generalized Ulam–Hyers stability. The given notions and results are exemplified by suitable models. We apply these results to obtain a sufficient condition ensuring the existence of a unique positive-definite solution of a nonlinear matrix equation (NME) mathcal{X}=mathcal{Q} + sum_{i=1}^{k}mathcal{A}_{i}^{*} mathcal{G(X)}mathcal{A}_{i}, where mathcal{Q} is an ntimes n Hermitian positive-definite matrix, mathcal{A}_{1}, mathcal{A}_{2}, …, mathcal{A}_{m} are n times n matrices, and mathcal{G} is a nonlinear self-mapping of the set of all Hermitian matrices that are continuous in the trace norm. We demonstrate this sufficient condition for the NME mathcal{X}= mathcal{Q} +mathcal{A}_{1}^{*}mathcal{X}^{1/3} mathcal{A}_{1}+mathcal{A}_{2}^{*}mathcal{X}^{1/3} mathcal{A}_{2}+ mathcal{A}_{3}^{*}mathcal{X}^{1/3}mathcal{A}_{3}, and visualize this through convergence analysis and a solution graph.
