Perimetric Contractions and Their Iterates in Complete $b$-Metric Spaces
Abstract
In this paper, the structural and operator-theoretic properties of contracting perimeters of triangles mapping (CPTM) within the generalized topological framework of complete $b$-metric spaces with coefficient $s \geq 1$, is systematically investigated. Extending recent foundational advancements from classical metric spaces, we explore the architectural interplay between multi-point perimetric constraints and path-wise orbital stability under two distinct structural framework. First, assuming the minimal exclusion of periodic orbits of prime period two, we prove that the higher-order iterates $f^{n}$ of an CPTM behave as graphic contractions for all indices satisfying the condition $sq^{n} < 1$. This classifies the operator as a weakly Picard operator and yields a unified existence and cardinality theorem establishing that the fixed-point set satisfies $1 \leq |\mathrm{Fix}(f)| \leq 2$.\\ Second, in the alternative configuration where the operator does possess a periodic orbit of prime period two, we resolve a significant structural gap under the parameter condition $sq^{2} < 1$. We demonstrate that the higher even iterates $f^{2n}$ collapse into continuous graphic contractions, proving that the mapping possesses exactly two periodic points which form a single, isolated 2-cycle. Throughout our proofs, we rigorously navigate the analytical challenges arising from the potential simultaneous non-continuity of the $b$-metric function by relying strictly on sequential tracking inequalities. Finally, we present concrete analytical examples, including a shift map on a discrete metric space, to show that the class of CPTM is strictly larger than the class of graphic contractions, thereby demonstrating the sharpness and optimality of the obtained parameter conditions.
