D. Wardowski proved in 2012 a generalization of Banach Contraction Principle by introducing F-contractions in metric spaces. In the next ten years, a great number of researchers used Wardowski's approach, or some of its modifications, to obtain new fixed point results for single- and multivalued mappings in various kinds of spaces. In this review article, we present a survey of these investigations, including some improvements, in particular concerning conditions imposed on function F entering the contractive condition.
In this paper, we consider and extend some fixed point results in -complete -metric spaces by relaxing the symmetry of complete metric spaces. We generalize -admissible mappings in the setting of -metric spaces. The derived results are supplemented with suitable examples, and the obtained results are applied to find the existence of the solution to the integral equation. The analytical results are compared through numerical simulation. We pose certain open problems for extending and applying our results in the future.
