In this paper, we consider a new extension of the Banach contraction principle, θ-Ω-contraction inspired by the concept of θ-contraction in (α, η)-b-rectangular metric spaces to study the existence and uniqueness of fixed point theorems for the mappings in metric spaces. Moreover, we discuss some illustrative examples to highlight the realized impr...

Many real-world applications demand accurate and fast predictions, as well as reliable uncertainty estimates. However, quantifying uncertainty on high-dimensional predictions is still a severely under-invested problem, especially when input-output relationships are non-linear. To handle this problem, the present work introduces an innovative approa...
