Fixed Points of Expansion Mappings in Menger Spaces With Property (E.A.)

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to prove a common fixed point theorem for non-surjective expansion mappings in Menger space employing the property (E.A). We also furnish an illustrative example to support our result. Our results improve and generalize a host of previously known fixed point theorems.

Keywords

• Menger space
• non-surjective mapping
• weakly compatible mappings
• expansion mappings
• property (E.A)
