This document contains the table of contents for a thesis that studies various types of abstract spaces and contraction mappings. The thesis is organized into 7 chapters that study fixed point theorems in different abstract spaces like Hausdorff metric spaces, partially ordered metric spaces, and quasi partial metric spaces. It also examines different types of contraction mappings and expansive mappings. Each chapter establishes new fixed point results and some chapters provide applications to areas like homotopy theory, boundary value problems, and medical fields like radiation therapy and tomography.
