FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR A PAIR OF MAPPINGS SATISFYING A GENERALIZED WEAKLY CONTRACTIVE CONDITION IN ORDERED METRIC SPACES

Abstract

Fixed point theorems for a pair of mappings which satisfy the condition of being generalized weakly contractive in complete ordered metric spaces are derived. At the end of the paper, applications of the previous results to new fixed point results of integral type are also shown.
