On -weakly contractive condition in partially ordered metric spaces

Abstract: Recently, Heman Kumar Nashine and Bessem Samet [H.K. Nashine, B. Samet, Fixed point results for mappings satisfying -weakly contractive condition in partially ordered metric spaces, Nonlinear Anal. 74 (2011) 2201–2209] studied some coincidence fixed point and common fixed point theorems for two mappings satisfying -weakly contractive condition in an ordered complete metric space. In the present paper, we study some coincidence fixed point and common fixed point theorems for three mappings and satisfying -weakly contractive condition in an ordered complete metric space, where the mappings and are assumed to be weakly increasing with respect to . Our results generalize several well-known results in the literature. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
