Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss a new area that overlaps between metric fixed point theory and graph theory. This new area yields interesting generalizations of the Banach contraction principle in metric and modular spaces endowed with a graph. The bridge between both theories is motivated by the fact that they often arise in industrial fields such as image processing engineering, physics, computer science, economics, ladder networks, dynamic programming, control theory, stochastic filtering, statistics, telecommunications and many other applications.
