On Fuzzy Extended Hexagonal <i>b</i>-Metric Spaces with Applications to Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations

Abstract

The focus of this research article is to investigate the notion of fuzzy extended hexagonal b-metric spaces as a technique of broadening the fuzzy rectangular b-metric spaces and extended fuzzy rectangular b-metric spaces as well as to derive the Banach fixed point theorem and several novel fixed point theorems with certain contraction mappings. The analog of hexagonal inequality in fuzzy extended hexagonal b-metric spaces is specified as follows utilizing the function b(c,d): mhc,d,t+s+u+v+w≥mhc,e,tb(c,d)∗mhe,f,sb(c,d)∗mhf,g,ub(c,d)∗mhg,k,vb(c,d)∗mhk,d,wb(c,d) for all t,s,u,v,w>0 and c≠e,e≠f,f≠g,g≠k,k≠d. Further to that, this research attempts to provide a feasible solution for the Caputo type nonlinear fractional differential equations through effective applications of our results obtained.
