Abstract
This research enhances Matkowski’s fixed point theorem to incorporate generalized contractions within F-metric spaces. We establish a Ciri´c-type fixed point theorem for maps that satisfy a generalized contraction condition, demonstrating the existence and uniqueness of fixed points under more relaxed assumptions. We also explain how our conclusions can be used in dynamic programming to show that functional equations have solutions. Our results expand existing theorems and provide new perspectives on fixed point theory in F-metric spaces, offering a flexible framework for relaxing the conventional triangle inequality.
