This contributed volume contains chapters on various fixed-point theorems, including those in metric, b-metric and partial metric spaces. The book addresses the need for rigorous analytical methods in optimization, computational mathematics and applied sciences. By offering innovative solutions through iterative schemes and contraction principles, it bridges the gap between abstract mathematical principles and practical problem-solving approaches. The concept of fixed points has deep mathematical significance, influencing both theoretical frameworks and real-world applications. The book highlights the applications of fixed-point theory, presenting fundamental concepts and modern advancements, in diverse fields such as traffic control systems, stock market analysis, iterative algorithms and differential equations.
