Abstract

In this paper, we establish several fixed-point theorems in the setting of orthogonal spaces (O-spaces). Our primary contribution is an extension of the fixed-point theorem of Cabrera, Harjani, and Sadarangani $[\text{Ann. Univ. Ferrara}\ (2013)$ 59:251--258] to O-sets, broadening its applicability. Additionally, we present novel results concerning the Moore--Penrose inverse, exploring its properties and potential applications in functional analysis. These findings contribute to both fixed-point theory and generalized inverses in partially structured spaces. Also, we show that the Moore--Penrose inverse of $A$, denoted by $A^\dagger$, can be computed as the fixed point of a contractive, orthogonal, and $\perp$-preserving mapping $T$.
