The rapid expansion of digital data sources, online panels, and administrative records has profoundly transformed the landscape of survey research. Traditional probability sampling, long regarded as the gold standard for population inference, is increasingly complemented or even supplanted by nonprobability samples due to cost, timeliness, and operational constraints. However, nonprobability samples pose substantial challenges for valid statistical inference, primarily because of unknown selection mechanisms and systematic selection biases. This article develops an extensive theoretical and methodological examination of data integration strategies that combine probability and nonprobability samples to support robust population-level inference. Drawing strictly on foundational and contemporary literature in survey statistics, the study synthesizes classical sampling theory with modern approaches such as mass imputation, propensity score weighting, doubly robust estimation, and statistical learning–based adjustments. The article elaborates on the conceptual underpinnings of these methods, the assumptions required for their validity, and the practical consequences of assumption violations, particularly focusing on common support, ignorability, and nonresponse mechanisms. Using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey as a conceptual reference framework, the paper explores how probability samples can serve as calibration anchors for integrating rich but biased nonprobability data. Rather than presenting numerical results, the analysis emphasizes interpretive insights, methodological trade-offs, and inferential implications. The discussion critically evaluates the limits of existing methods, highlighting the persistent risks of overconfidence in hybrid estimators and the need for transparency in uncertainty assessment. The article concludes by outlining future research directions, including the integration of machine learning with survey theory and the development of principled diagnostics for assessing inferential validity. Overall, this work provides a comprehensive, publication-ready contribution to the evolving field of survey data integration.

The theory of fixed points occupies a central position in modern mathematical analysis because of its deep interconnections with nonlinear functional analysis, topology, computer science, and applied modeling. Classical results such as the Banach contraction principle established a powerful paradigm for guaranteeing the existence and uniqueness of fixed points in complete metric spaces. However, the increasing complexity of modern mathematical structures, particularly those emerging from computer science, fuzzy logic, optimization, and dynamical systems, has required the extension of fixed-point theory far beyond standard metric spaces and simple contraction conditions. Partial metric spaces, symmetric spaces, fuzzy metric spaces, and dislocated or quasi-metric structures represent some of the most important generalizations in which distance-like functions allow nonzero self-distances, asymmetry, or uncertainty. At the same time, the classical notion of contraction has been weakened into various forms of weak contractions, generalized contractions, and implicit relational contractions, enabling the treatment of a much broader class of nonlinear operators.

This article develops a comprehensive, integrated, and theoretically coherent study of common fixed-point theory for weakly contractive and compatible mappings defined on partial metric spaces, symmetric spaces, and related generalized structures. Drawing strictly on the conceptual and methodological foundations provided by the referenced works, including Jungck’s theory of compatible mappings, the developments of Aamri and El Moutawakil on common fixed points in symmetric spaces, Matthews’ foundational topology of partial metric spaces, and the modern formulations of weak contractions in ordered and partial metric contexts by Aydi, Ciric, Samet, and their collaborators, the present work unifies these strands into a single interpretative framework.

The study emphasizes the role of compatibility, weak compatibility, and contractive-type implicit relations in ensuring the convergence of iterative sequences and the existence of unique or nonunique common fixed points. Particular attention is given to the subtle interplay between order structures, partial metrics, and weak contractive conditions, which allows one to overcome the absence of classical continuity, self-mapping, or strict contraction assumptions. Theoretical implications for the completeness of generalized spaces, the stability of fixed points, and the robustness of iterative processes are analyzed in depth.

By elaborating the logical structure underlying existing theorems and comparing their assumptions and consequences, this paper clarifies how diverse fixed-point results in partial metric spaces, symmetric spaces, fuzzy metric spaces, and ordered sets can be viewed as manifestations of a unified principle: the balance between generalized distance, compatibility, and weak contraction. The findings underscore the enduring relevance of fixed-point theory as a foundational tool in abstract mathematics and its growing importance in applications where classical metric assumptions are no longer adequate.
