Enriched Z-Contractions and Fixed-Point Results with Applications to IFS

In this manuscript, we initiate a large class of enriched (d,Z)-Z-contractions defined on Banach spaces and prove the existence and uniqueness of the fixed point of these contractions. We also provide an example to support our results and give an existence condition for the uniqueness of the solution to the integral equation. The results provided in the manuscript extend, generalize, and modify the existence results. Our research introduces novel fixed-point results under various contractive conditions. Furthermore, we discuss the iterated function system associated with enriched (d,Z)-Z-contractions in Banach spaces and define the enriched Z-Hutchinson operator. A result regarding the convergence of Krasnoselskii’s iteration method and the uniqueness of the attractor via enriched (d,Z)-Z-contractions is also established. Our discoveries not only confirm but also significantly build upon and broaden several established findings in the current body of literature.
