N2 - In this monograph, motivated by the work of Aphane, Gaba, and Xu, we explore fixed-point theory within the framework of (Formula presented.) -algebra-valued bipolar b-metric spaces, characterized by a non-solid positive cone. We define and analyze (Formula presented.) -contractions, utilizing positive monotone functions to extend classical contraction principles. Key contributions include the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for mappings satisfying generalized contraction conditions. The interplay between the non-solidness of the cone, the (Formula presented.) -algebra structure, and the completeness of the space is central to our results. We apply our results to find uniqueness of solutions to Fredholm integral equations and differential equations, and we extend the Ulam–Hyers stability problem to non-solid cones. This work advances the theory of metric spaces over Banach algebras, providing foundational insights with applications in operator theory and quantum mechanics.
