We introduce two contractive maps, \u03b3- and \u03b3-weak contractions, within the context of S-metric spaces. These contractive maps form the cornerstone of our research, offering a novel approach to solving mathematical problems. We explore fixed point results derived from the application of these maps, showcasing their utility in finding solutions in diverse mathematical scenarios. Furthermore, we provide concrete examples that illustrate the practical relevance and versatility of our theorems, emphasizing their potential applications across a wide range of scientific and engineering domains. This manuscript presents the novel concepts of \u03b3- and \u03b3-weak contractions and establishes their importance in mathematical research. By demonstrating their effectiveness in solving real-world problems and offering illustrative examples, our work contributes valuable tools and insights to the broader scientific community, enhancing our understanding of contractive maps and their applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/axioms13090650","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]],"date-time":"2024-09-24T08:56:06Z","timestamp":1727168166000},"page":"650","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Fuzzy Fixed Point Theorems in S-Metric Spaces: Applications to Navigation and Control Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Maryam","family":"Iqbal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematical Sciences, Fatima Jinnah Women University, Rawalpindi 46000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4729-4785","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Afshan","family":"Batool","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematical Sciences, Fatima Jinnah Women University, Rawalpindi 46000, Pakistan"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7742-5993","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aftab","family":"Hussain","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, King Abdulaziz University, P.O.
