Abstract. In this paper, we obtain a generalized common fixed point theorem for four mappings using the conditions of non-compatibility and faint compatibility.
In this paper we define the concept of conditionally commuting mappings and
establish some common fixed point theorems for hybrid pair of mappings
satisfying a nonexpansive type condition.
The main objective of the paper is to prove some unified common fixed point
theorems for a family of mappings under a minimal set of sufficient
conditions. Our results subsume and improve a host of common fixed point
theorems for contractive type mappings available in the literature of the
metric fixed point theory. Simultaneously, we provide some new answers in a
general framework to the problem posed by Rhoades (Contemp Math 72, 233-245,
1988) regarding the existence of a contractive definition which is strong
enough to generate a fixed point, but which does not force the mapping to be
continuous at the fixed point. Concrete examples are also given to
illustrate the applicability of our proved results.
