“…Generalizations of the Banach contraction principle have been extensively used to study common fixed points for contractive type pair of mappings, as well as in the existence of solutions of differential and integral equations, (see e.g., [3,4,6,7,10,11,12,15,17,18,19,20]). In this paper, first, we establish some common fixed point theorems for a class of contractions of rational type wherein contractive inequality is controlled by a positive function satisfying a stability condition at 0.…”
