In 2018, Erdal Karapinar introduced the concept of interpolative Kannan operators, a novel adaptation of the Kannan mapping originally defined in 1969 by Kannan. This new mapping condition is more lenient than the basic contraction condition. In this paper, we study the concept by introducing the IKC-iterated function/multi-function system using interpolative Kannan operators, including a broader area of mappings. Moreover, we establish the Collage Theorem endowed with the iterated function system (IFS) based on the IKC, and show the well-posedness of the IKC-IFS. Interpolative Kannan contractions are meaningful due to their applications in fractals, offering a more versatile framework for creating intricate geometric structures with potentially fewer constraints compared to classical approaches.

The purpose of this article is to discuss some new aspects of the vector-valued metric space. The idea of an arbitrary binary relation along with the well-known F contraction is used to demonstrate the existence of fixed points in the context of a complete vector-valued metric space for both single- and multi-valued mappings. Utilizing the idea of binary relation, and with the help of F contraction, this work extends and complements some of the very recently established Perov-type fixed-point results in the literature. Furthermore, this work includes examples to justify the validity of the given results. During the discussion, it was found that some of the renowned metrical results proven by several authors using different binary relations, such as partial order, pre-order, transitive relation, tolerance, strict order and symmetric closure, can be weakened by using an arbitrary binary relation.

This paper combines the concept of an arbitrary binary connection with the widely recognized principle of $\theta$-contraction to investigate the innovative features of vector-valued metric spaces. This methodology demonstrates the existence of fixed points for both single- and multi-valued mappings within complete vector-valued metric spaces. Through the utilization of binary relations and $\theta$-contraction, this study advances and refines the Perov-type fixed-point results in the literature. Furthermore, this article furnishes examples to substantiate the validity of the presented results. Additionally, we establish an application for finding the existence of solutions to a system of matrix equations.

In this study, we introduce two new classes of contractions, namely enriched $(\mathfrak{I},\rho ,\chi )$-contractions and generalized enriched $(\mathfrak{I},\rho ,\chi )$-contractions, within the context of normed spaces. These classes generalize several well-known contraction types, including $\chi$-contractions, Banach contractions, enriched contractions, Kannan contractions, Bianchini contractions, Zamfirescu contractions, non-expansive mappings, and $(\rho ,\chi )$-enriched contractions. We establish related fixed point results for the novel contractions in normed spaces endowed with the binary relations preserving key symmetric properties, ensuring consistency and applicability. The Krasnoselskij iteration method is refined to incorporate symmetric constraints, facilitating fixed point identification within these spaces. By appropriately selecting constants in the definition of enriched $(\mathfrak{I},\rho ,\chi )$-contractions, employing a suitable binary relation, or control function $\chi \in \Theta$, our framework generalizes and extends classical fixed point theorems. Illustrative examples highlight the significance of our findings in reinforcing fixed point conditions and demonstrating their broader applicability. Additionally, this paper explores how these ideas guarantee the stability of the production–consumption markets equilibrium and the economic growth model.

In this paper, our main aim is to present innovative fixed-point theorems that provide solutions to the fixed-circle problem with symmetric contractions. We accomplish this by employing operator enrichment techniques within the context of Banach spaces. Furthermore, we demonstrate the practical application of these theorems by showcasing their relevance to the rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation function. By exploring the connection between fixed points and activation functions, our work contributes to a deeper understanding of the behavior and properties of these fundamental mathematical concepts.
