Coupled coincidence points for two mappings in metric spaces and cone metric spaces

Abstract

This article is concerned with coupled coincidence points and common fixed points for two mappings in metric spaces and cone metric spaces. We first establish a coupled coincidence point theorem for two mappings and a common fixed point theorem for two w-compatible mappings in metric spaces. Then, by using a scalarization method, we extend our main theorems to cone metric spaces. Our results generalize and complement several earlier results in the literature. Especially, our main results complement a very recent result due to Abbas et al. © 2012 Long et al; licensee Springer.
