Motivated by the exciting notion of modular metric spaces, in this
manuscript, we positively answer an open question posed by Mitrovic et al.
[Ital. J. Pure Appl. Math., 41 (2019), 679-690] on the existence of fixed
points of Hardy-Rogers contractions. Moreover, in the said setting, we
conceive the common fixed point theorem of Jungck. As consequences of our
findings, we deduce a few fixed point and common fixed point results which
authenticate the novelty of the obtained theories. Finally, we construct
numerical examples to validate our study.
