Tripled coincidence theorems for contractive type mappings in partially ordered metric spaces

In this paper we introduce the concept of a tripled coincidence point for a pair of nonlinear contractive mappings F : X³ → X and g : X → X. The obtained results extend recent coincidence theorems due to ?iri? and Lakshmikantham [V. Lakshmikantham, L. ?iri?, L., Coupled fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractions in partially ordered metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 70 (2009) 4341-4349].     

Generalized coupled fixed point theorems for mixed monotone mappings in partially ordered metric spaces

In this paper, we extend the coupled fixed point theorems for mixed monotone operators F:X×X→X obtained in [T.G. Bhaskar, V. Lakshmikantham, Fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces and applications, Nonlinear Anal. 65 (7) (2006) 1379–1393] by significantly weakening the contractive condition involved. Our technique of proof is essentially different and more natural. An example as well as an application to periodic BVP is also given in order to illustrate the effectiveness of our generalizations.

Common fixed point theorems for non-self-mappings in metric spaces of hyperbolic type

In this paper, the concept of a pair of non-linear contraction type mappings in a metric space of hyperbolic type is introduced and the conditions guaranteeing the existence of a common fixed point for such non-linear contractions are established. Presented results generalize and improve some of the known results. An example is constructed to show that our theorems are genuine generalizations of the main theorems of Assad, ?iri?, Khan et al., Rhoades and Imdad and Kumar. One of the possible applications of our results is also presented.     

Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems in diametrically contractive mappings

In this paper, some topological concepts and definitions are generalized to cone metric spaces. It is proved that every cone metric space is first countable topological space and that sequentially compact subsets axe compact. Also, we define diametrically contractive mappings and asymptotically diametrically contractive mappings on cone metric spaces to obtain some fixed point theorems by assuming that our cone is strongly minihedral.     

A common fixed point theorem for compatible quasi contractive self mappings in metric spaces

A common fixed point theorem for weakly commuting quasi contractive self mappings with contracting orbital diameters in metric spaces [V. Berinde, A common fixed point theorem for quasi contractive type mappings, Ann. Univ. Sci. Budapest. 46 (2003) 81-90] is extended to the more general class of compatible quasi contractive self mappings. Our result does extend and generalize numerous related results in literature.

Lakshmikantham, Fixed point theorems in partially ordered metric spaces and applications, Nonlinear Anal. TMA 65 (2006) 1379–1393] and include several recent developments.

Common fixed point theorems for maps under a contractive condition of integral type

Two common fixed point theorems for mapping of complete metric space under a general contractive inequality of integral type and satisfying minimal commutativity conditions are proved. These results extend and improve several previous results, particularly Theorem 4 of Rhoades [B.E. Rhoades, Two fixed point theorems for mappings satisfying a general contractive condition of integral type, Int. J. Math. Math. Sci. 63 (2003) 4007-4013] and Theorem 4 of Sessa [S. Sessa, On a weak commutativity condition of mappings in fixed point considerations, Publ. Inst. Math. (Beograd) (N.S.) 32 (46) (1982) 149-153].     

Fixed point of contractive mappings in generalized metric spaces

We prove a fixed point theorem for contractive mappings of Boyd and Wong type in generalized metric spaces, a concept recently introduced in [BRANCIARI, A.: A fixed point theorem of Banach-Caccioppoli type on a class of generalized metric spaces, Publ. Math. Debrecen 57 (2000), 31–37].

Results are supported by three examples.

Math. 30 (1969) 475-487], as well as of some Caristi type theorems for multi-valued operators, see [N. Mizoguchi, W. Takahashi, Fixed point theorems for multivalued mappings on complete metric spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 141 (1989) 177-188; J.P. Aubin, Optima and Equilibria.

Common fixed point theorems of Gregus type for weakly compatible mappings satisfying contractive conditions of integral type

We prove a common fixed point theorem of Gregus type for four mappings satisfying a contractive condition of integral type in metric spaces using the concept of weak compatibility which generalizes Theorem 2 of [A.

We prove also common fixed point theorems of Gregus type using a strict contractive condition of integral type, a property (E.A) and a common property (E.A) introduced by [M. Aamri, D. El Moutawakil, Some new common fixed point theorems under strict contractive conditions, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 270 (2002) 181-188] and [W. Liu, J. Wu, Z.

We establish coupled coincidence point results for mixed g-monotone mappings under general contractive conditions in partially ordered cone metric spaces over solid cones. We also present results on existence and uniqueness of coupled common fixed points. Our results generalize, extend and unify several well known comparable results in the literature. To illustrate our results and to distinguish them from the earlier ones, we equip the paper with examples.
