In the present note, we show that the assumption of continuity used in the fixed point theorem of Gregori et al. (Results Math. 73 (2018), no. 4, Art. 142, 13) can be relaxed to some weaker version of continuity. More precisely, we prove a fixed point theorem for orbitally continuous and k-continuous mappings in weak G-complete metric space and provide an appropriate example to show that our result is not only valid for continuous mappings but also for some discontinuous mappings. Moreover, we apply our main result to establish a common fixed point theorem for two self-mappings
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.
