In our paper, the general framework is set to fuzzy normed linear spaces as they are defined by N\u0103d\u0103ban and Dzitac. When completeness is required, we will use the George and Veeramani (G-V) setup, which, for our purposes, we consider to be more suitable than Grabiec-completeness. As an important result of our work, we give an original proof for a version of Banach\u2019s fixed-point principle on this particular setup of fuzzy normed spaces, a variant of Jungck\u2019s fixed-point theorem in the same setup, and they are proved in G-V-complete fuzzy normed spaces, paving the way for future developments in various fields within this framework, where our application of dynamic programming makes a proper example. As the uniqueness of almost every dynamic programming problem is necessary, the fixed-point theorems represent an important tool in achieving that goal.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym14101966","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,21]],"date-time":"2022-09-21T00:08:09Z","timestamp":1663718889000},"page":"1966","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Fixed-Point Theorems in Fuzzy Normed Linear Spaces for Contractive Mappings with Applications to Dynamic-Programming"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2274-2975","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tudor","family":"B\u00eenzar","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Politehnica University of Timi\u015foara, Regina Maria 1, RO-300004 Timi\u015foara, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0550-6700","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Flavius","family":"Pater","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics, Politehnica University of Timi\u015foara, Regina Maria 1, RO-300004 Timi\u015foara, Romania"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8106-7527","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sorin","family":"N\u0103d\u0103ban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Aurel Vlaicu University of Arad, Elena Dr\u0103goi 2, RO-310330 Arad, Romania"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Bellman, R.
