Existence and Uniqueness Results for Fuzzy Bipolar Metric Spaces

In this paper, we present the concept of $(\mathrm{{\rm Y}},\mathrm{\Omega })$-iterativemappings in the setting of fuzzy bipolar metric space. The symmetric property in fuzzy bipolar metric spaces guarantees that the distance between any two elements remains invariant under permutation, ensuring consistency and uniformity in measurement regardless of the order in which the elements are considered. Furthermore, we prove several best proximity point results by utilizing $(\mathrm{{\rm Y}},\mathrm{\Omega })$-fuzzy bipolar proximal contraction, $(\mathrm{{\rm Y}},\mathrm{\Omega })$-Reich–Rus–Ciric type proximal contraction, $(\mathrm{{\rm Y}},\mathrm{\Omega })$-Kannan type proximal contraction and $(\mathrm{{\rm Y}},\mathrm{\Omega })$-Hardy–Rogers type contraction. Furthermore, we provide some non-trivial examples to show the comparison with the existing results in the literature. At the end, we present an application to find the existence and uniqueness of a solution of an integral equation by applying the main result.
