In this paper, we introduce an extension of rectangular metric spaces called controlled rectangular metric spaces, by changing the rectangular inequality as follows: \begin{equation*} d(x, y)\leq\alpha(x, u)d(x, u)+\alpha(u, v)d(u, v)+\alpha(v, y)d(v, y), \end{equation*} for all distinct $x, y, u, v\in X$ with the function $\alpha: X\times X\rightarrow[1,\infty[$. We also establish some fixed point theorems for self-mappings defined on such spaces. Our main results extends and improves many results existing in the literature. Moreover, an illustrative example is presented to support the obtained results. |
