Intuitionistic Fuzzy Contractions over Banach Algebras and Their Applications to Fractional Volterra Integral Equations with Numerical Verification
This paper introduces a novel analytical and numerical framework for studying nonlinear fractional Volterra integral equations by employing an intuitionistic fuzzy metric structure over a Banach algebra. The principal contribution of this work is the development of fixed-point theory for a new class of intuitionistic fuzzy Z-contractions in IFM-spaces over BA, which extends existing fuzzy and algebra-valued metric frameworks. Within this setting, we established existence, uniqueness, and convergence results for solutions of fractional integral equations of the Caputo type by proving that the associated fractional integral operator satisfies the proposed contractive conditions. Furthermore, we demonstrated how the algebra-valued intuitionistic fuzzy structure enhances the analytical flexibility and robustness of the model. To support the theoretical findings, a numerical simulation based on a discretized iterative scheme is presented, illustrating the rapid convergence of the approximating sequence together with the monotone behavior of intuitionistic fuzzy nearness and non-nearness measures. The numerical results are consistent with the analytical theory and confirm the effectiveness of the proposed IFM-spaces over the BA approach for fractional dynamical systems.
