Abstract
In this paper, we establish a new fixed point theorem for multi-valued almost pseudo-contractive mappings in quasimetric spaces, extending and improving several known results in the literature. Our approach generalizes earlier works by allowing the contractive constant to the whole interval [0, 1), rather than being subject to more restrictive bounds. As an application, we derive new data dependence results for the fixed point sets of such mappings in quasimetric spaces.
