Abstract

nBackground: Fixed point theory in probabilistic metric spaces, particularly Menger spaces, has been a subject of intensive research due to its applications in nonlinear analysis and mathematical modeling. Traditional approaches often impose restrictive constraints on the defining properties of Menger spaces and limit the class of auxiliary functions in contractivity conditions Methods: We extend recent fixed point theorems in Menger spaces by: (1) introducing the notion of Menger PM-type spaces that avoids unnecessary constraints in the traditional definition, (2) considering a more general class of auxiliary functions in contractivity conditions, and (3) replacing the classical function t ↦ 1t − 1 with more appropriate and general functions Results: We establish several new fixed point theorems that generalize existing results in the literature. Our main theorem provides sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of fixed points under weaker assumptions than previously required. We demonstrate that our auxiliary functions encompass a broader class of contractive mappings Conclusions: The proposed extensions significantly broaden the applicability of fixed point theorems in Menger spaces. We provide a concrete example where previous results cannot be applied, highlighting the necessity and utility of our generalizations. These results have potential applications in solving integral equations, optimization problems, and other areas of mathematical analysis.nn
