Abstract
‎This study investigates the existence of solutions for certain systems of integral equations in multi-component models with asymmetric and ‎heterogeneous dynamics‎, ‎using fixed point theory‎. ‎Classical metric frameworks are not sufficiently flexible to adequately capture these systems‎, ‎highlighting the need for more flexible‎‏ ‎approaches‎. ‎To address these challenges‎, ‎a Perov-type vector-valued metric space endowed with a triangle inequality controlled by two matrices is introduced‎, ‎which extends classical metric‎ ‎frameworks by incorporating two independent control matrices‎. ‎
This double-controlled structure significantly enlarges the admissible class of mappings and allows component-wise control adapted to heterogeneous dynamics. Within this setting, the concept of $\mathbb{M}_\alpha$-admissible pairs of selfmaps is defined, and new common fixed point theorems under generalized matrix-type contraction conditions are established, extending several existing results in the literature. ‎The proposed methodology is applied to a two-dimensional integral equation system‎, ‎and a numerical example is presented to validate the theoretical results‎.‎‎
