| Summary: | Among various improvements in fuzzy set theory, a progressive development has been in process to investigate fuzzy analogues of fixed point theorems of the classical fixed point results. In this direction, taking the ideas of θ-contractions as well as Feng-Liu's approach into account, some new fuzzy fixed point results for nonlinear fuzzy set-valued θ-contractions in the framework of metric-like spaces are introduced in this paper without using the usual Pompeiu-Hausorff distance function. Our established concepts complement, unify and generalize a few important fuzzy and classical fixed point theorems in the corresponding literature. A handful of these special cases of our notions are pointed and analyzed. Some of the main results herein are further applied to derive their analogues in metric-like spaces endowed with partial ordering and binary relations. Comparisons and nontrivial examples are given to authenticate the hypotheses and significance of the obtained ideas.
