The contractive conditions of Popa (Demonstr. Math. 1990, 23, 213-218) were further improved for four non-surjective expansion mappings, and some common fixed point theorems under semi-compatible pairs of mappings are proved. Our main findings bring improvements to a number of results in the non-metric setting. Some implications for mathematical physics are raised with respect to physical invariants.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
