Some Common Coupled Fixed Point Results for Generalized Contraction in Complex-Valued Metric Spaces

Azam et al. [1] introduced the concept of complex-valued metric spaces and obtained sufficient conditions for the existence of common fixed points of a pair of contractive type mappings involving rational expressions. Subsequently, several authors have studied the existence and uniqueness of the fixed points and common fixed points of self-mappings in view of contrasting contractive conditions. Some of these investigations are noted in [2–26]. In [27], Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham introduced the concept of coupled fixed points for a given partially ordered set X. Recently Samet et al. [28, 29] proved that most of the coupled fixed point theorems (on ordered metric spaces) are in fact immediate consequences of well-known fixed point theorems in the literature. In this paper, we deal with the corresponding definition of coupled fixed point for mappings on a complex-valued metric space along with generalized contraction involving rational expressions. Our results extend and improve several fixed point theorems in the literature. 2. Preliminaries
