In this manuscript, we generalize, improve, and enrich recent results established by Budhia et al. [L. Budhia, H. Aydi, A.H. Ansari, D. Gopal, Some new fixed point results in rectangular metric spaces with application to fractional-order functional differential equations, Nonlinear Anal. Model. Control, 25(4):580–597, 2020]. This paper aims to provide much simpler and shorter proofs of some results in rectangular metric spaces. According to one of our recent lemmas, we show that the given contractive condition yields Cauchyness of the corresponding Picard sequence. The obtained results improve well-known comparable results in the literature. Using our new approach, we prove that a Picard sequence is Cauchy in the framework of rectangular metric spaces. Our obtained results complement and enrich several methods in the existing state-ofart. Endorsing the materiality of the presented results, we also propound an application to dynamic programming associated with the multistage process.

In this paper, the trajectory tracking control problem of a robot manipulator with cylindrical joints is considered by means of a nonlinear PD controller taking into account the delayed feedback structure. The conclusion about stability of a closed-loop system is obtained on the basis of the development of the direct Lyapunov method in the study of the stability property for a non-autonomous functional differential equation by constructing a Lyapunov functional with a semi-definite time derivative.
