Metric Fixed Point Theory: Applications in Science, Engineering and Behavioural Sciences

This book collects chapters on contemporary topics on metric fixed point theory and its applications in science, engineering, fractals, and behavioral sciences. Chapters contributed by renowned researchers from across the world, this book includes several useful tools and techniques for the development of skills and expertise in the area. The book presents the study of common fixed points in a generalized metric space and fixed point results with applications in various modular metric spaces. New insight into parametric metric spaces as well as study of variational inequalities and variational control problems have been included.
