Abstract
In this work, we propose the ideas of orthogonal -proximal contraction mappings, generalized orthogonal -proximal contraction mappings and establish several best proximity point theorems in an orthogonally complete metric space ( ) through a non-self mapping. Hence, utilizing these recently discovered results, numerous of the existing findings in the literature are generalized or expanded. An illustration is provided to highlight the utility of our findings. Finally, for illustrative applications, we discuss the qualitative properties of the solutions for a fractional boundary value problem in the Caputo sense, and we study the dynamic economic equilibrium problem.

1 Introduction
Since the last century, numerous results on fixed point theory have been constructed because of its various applications in areas like mathematics, computer science, and economics. Eldered and Veeramani (2006) proposed the idea of cyclic contraction mapping and established best proximity point theorems in a uniformly convex Banach space. Raj (2013) proposed the idea of weakly contractive mapping. He introduced a notion called P-property and used it to prove adequate conditions to make certain existence of the best proximity point. Altun et al. (2020) proposed the ideas of p-proximal contraction and p-proximal contractive mappings and established best proximity point theorems on metric spaces( ). Aslantas et al. (2021) proposed the idea of cyclic p-contraction pair for single-valued mappings and established best proximity point theorems. Moreover, he gave the existence and uniqueness results for the solution of a system of second-order boundary value problems. In addition, Basha (2011) proposed the idea of non-self-proximal contractions and established best proximity point theorems that were applied to check the existence of the best approximation answers to equations and it is sensible that it has no solution. Additionally, a methodology was constructed to find such an optimal approximate solution. Is there any point in the metric space satisfying where are non-empty subsets of , is a non-self mapping and . The point is called the best proximity point( ).
Wardowski (2012) proposed the idea of -contraction mapping and established fixed point theorems that generalize the Banach contraction principle. Cosentino and Vetro (2014) published Hardy–Rogers-type fixed point results for self-mappings on entire ordered metric spaces, corresponding with this research direction. Moreover, Omidvari et al. (2014) proved the existence of the best proximity point for contractive non-self mappings and presented two types of proximal contraction. Beg et al. (2021) extended the notion of -proximal contraction maps and established certain best proximity point theorems for non-self mappings in a complete metric space. Gordji et al. (2017) introduced orthogonal metric space and proved Banach’s fixed point theorem with applications to the existence of a solution for a first-order ordinary differential equation. Gunaseelan et al. (2021) proved fixed theorems under orthogonal -contractions on -complete metric space. Applications of some fixed-point theorems in orthogonal extended S-metric spaces are given in Basha and Veeramani (2000), Khalehoghli et al. (2020), Rezaei et al. (2021) and Touail and Moutawakil (2021). Other concepts and applications of orthogonal contractions and fixed point theorems are apparent in Gnanaprakasam et al. (2023), Sawangsup et al. (2020) and Charoensawan et al. (2023). An orthogonally complete metric space is often defined in terms of a completeness property related to orthogonality. For instance, a space might be said to be orthogonally complete if every orthogonal decomposition (or a related structure) converges in the metric space. Saleem et al. (2021) discussed on some coincidence best proximity point results. Younis et al. (2024) discussed on best proximity points for multivalued mappings and equation of motion. Ahmad (2024) presented the usefulness of contraction mappings in mathematics and their wide range of applications in nonlinear differential equations.
In the aforementioned piece of work, we propose a new idea of orthogonal -proximal contractions( ) (of the first and second kind), generalized orthogonal -proximal contractions (of the first and second kind), and then prove results on .
2 Preliminaries
In this section, we present the idea of a control function given in Wardowski (2012). Consider to be the family of all functions such that:
-

Now, we introduce several examples of above mappings:
Definition 2.2 Wardowski, 2012
A mapping on a is said to be an -contraction if we can find and satisfying for all with .
Gordji et al. (2017) established the notion of an orthogonal set (or -set), with various properties and examples as follows:
Definition 2.3 Gordji et al., 2017
Let . Consider to be a binary relation. If verifies the next property: Then, is called an orthogonal set . We denote this -set by .
Example 2.4 Gordji et al., 2017

Definition 2.5 Gordji et al., 2017
Assume that is an -set. We say that is an orthogonal sequence (briefly, -sequence) if
Definition 2.6 Gordji et al., 2017
The triplet is said to be an orthogonal ( )if is an -set and is a .
Definition 2.7 Gordji et al., 2017

Definition 2.8 Gordji et al., 2017

Let and suppose that Then is an -set. Clearly, with the Euclidean metric is not complete , but it is . In fact, if is an -Cauchy sequence in , then we can find a subsequence of for which or we can find a monotone subsequence of for which . It follows that converges to a point . Already, we know that every Cauchy sequence with a convergent subsequence is convergent. Furthermore, is convergent.
Let and be non-void subsets of , then
If for two closed subsets of a normed space, then and are contained in the limits of and , respectively (Basha and Veeramani, 2000).
A mapping is called an orthogonal of first kind ( ) if we can find and satisfying for all in and .
A mapping is called an orthogonal of second kind ( ) if we can find and satisfying for all in and .
A mapping is called a generalized orthogonal of first kind ( ) if we can find and with , satisfying for all in and .
A mapping is called a generalized orthogonal of second kind ( ) if and with , such that the conditions for all in and .
A mapping is called an -proximally preserving if for all in .
Let be a - and be a non-void closed subsets of . The pair satisfies the - property if for all in .
Let be a - . A set is said to be an relatively compact in context with if every sequence of with for some has a convergent subsequence.

4 Application to fractional differential equations
Fractional differential equations could be the perfect way to model complex systems: powerful and versatile. Their description of memory effects, non-local behavior, and anomalous diffusion has made them irreplaceable in various fields. Moreover, FDEs can describe systems possessing non-local behavior. In such systems, the behavior at one point depends on values at other points in the domain. Such properties generally induce complex dynamics with nonlinear behaviors. FDEs can describe such systems more precisely compared to their conventional integer-order models, for example see Rezapour et al. (2024), Thabet et al. (2023), Boutiara et al. (2023) and Abdeljawad et al. (2023).
Consider the Caputo fractional derivative using fractional differential equation.

5 Application in production-consumption equilibrium
Throughout this part, we discuss the existence & uniqueness of solutions to integral equations by using Corollary 3.4.
Our results are applied to the dynamic market equilibrium problem, an important economics topic, where we solve an initial value problem and develop a mathematical model. Daily pricing trends and prices show an important effect on markets for both production and consumption , despite price movements. Consequently, the economist is interested in knowing the current price . Let us consider initially , where and are constants. A state of dynamic economic equilibrium occurs when market forces are in balance, meaning that the current gap between production and consumption stabilizes, that is, . Thus, where , and .
Our initial value problem is now represented as follows:
Define
is given by
Consider the operator (5.3) in a complete , satisfying
-
we can find , and such that
-
a continuous function that satisfies
Then, the dynamic market equilibrium problem (5.1) has exactly one solution.
Clearly, is -preserving and -continuous. Now So, we have i.e., thus, we have where by . From Corollary 3.4, Eq. (5.2) has a unique solution. □
