In this paper, we specified a method that generalizes a number of fixed point results for single and multi-valued mappings in the structure of extended b-metric spaces. Our results extend several existing ones including the results of Aleksic et al. for single-valued mappings and the results of Nadler and Miculescu et al. for multi-valued mappings. Moreover, an example is given at the end to show the superiority of our results.

In this paper, we prove a new fixed point theorem for a multi-valued mapping from a complete extended b-metric space U into the non empty closed and bounded subsets of U, which generalizes Nadler’s fixed point theorem. We also establish some fixed point results, which generalize our first result. Furthermore, we establish Mizoguchi–Takahashi’s type fixed point theorem for a multi-valued mapping from a complete extended b-metric space U into the non empty closed and bounded subsets of U that improves many existing results in the literature.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of controlled rectangular metric spaces as a generalization of rectangular metric spaces and rectangular -metric spaces. Further, we establish some related fixed point results. Our main results extend many existing ones in the literature. The obtained results are also illustrated with the help of an example. In the last section, we apply our results to a common real-life problem in a general form by getting a solution for the Fredholm integral equation in the setting of controlled rectangular metric spaces.

In this work, we define a controlled rectangular partial metric space, which is a generalization of a controlled rectangular metric space and a controlled metric space. Furthermore, we derive some fixed point results with suitable conditions in this setting. As an application, we give a fixed point theorem for graphic contractions on a controlled rectangular partial metric space via a graph structure.
