Bipolar b-Metric Spaces in Graph Setting and Related Fixed Points

In this article, we develop a new notion that combines fixed-point theory and graph theory: graphical bipolar b-metric spaces. We demonstrate fixed-point solutions in the framework of graphical bipolar b-metric spaces, employing covariant and contravariant mapping contractions, which is a new additi...

Summary:In this article, we develop a new notion that combines fixed-point theory and graph theory: graphical bipolar b-metric spaces. We demonstrate fixed-point solutions in the framework of graphical bipolar b-metric spaces, employing covariant and contravariant mapping contractions, which is a new addition to this end. This article also features illustrative examples drawn from various contexts to further demonstrate our findings. This is a significant study since it melds ideas from graph theory with those from generalized bipolar metric spaces, and considers that the symmetry of the edges of the underlying graphs connected with the enunciated metric spaces is essential in the graphical metric spaces.
