Related fixed point theorems via general approach of simulations functions (Q827192)

Summary: In this work, we extend and complement some results in view of general and wider structures, such as \(b\)-metric spaces. By considering existing classes of Z-contractions and \(\Psi\)-simulating functions with a solid impact in database results of fixed point theory, we introduce a new general class of simulating functions, called as \(\Psi-s\) simulation functions, and also types of \(\kappa_{\psi-s}\)-contractions in a more general framework. This approach covers, extends, and unifies several published works in the early and late literature.
