Abstract
We introduce $(\alpha_s,\mu_s,(Q,h))$-interpolative Kannan- and \v{C}iri'c--Reich--Rus-type contractions in $S$-metric spaces. The framework combines the admissible control function $\alpha_s$, the subadmissible control function $\mu_s$, and a pair of upper-class functions $(Q,h)$. Fixed point theorems are established under continuity and, alternatively, under weaker sequential assumptions. Suitable choices of $(Q,h)$ yield several power- and exponential-type consequences and clarify the connection with familiar Banach-type contractive conditions. Two examples illustrate the results; one of them has two distinct fixed points, showing that the existence theorems do not in general imply uniqueness.
