The intent of this paper was to investigate the fixed-point results under relation-theoretic generalized weak contractivity condition employing a pair of auxiliary functions ϕ and ψ verifying appropriate properties. In proving our outcomes, we observed that the partial-ordered relation (even, transitive relation) adopted by earlier authors can be weakened to the extent of a locally ϝ-transitive binary relation. The findings proved herewith generalize, extend, improve, and unify a number of existing outcomes. To validate of our findings, we offer a number of illustrative examples. Our outcomes assist us to figure out the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a boundary value problem.
