in this note we point out and rectify some errors in a recently published paper “n. singh, r. jain: coupled fixed point results for weakly related mappings in partially ordered metric spaces, bull. iranian math. soc. 40 (2014), no. 1, 29-40”.

Recently, Zhang and Song [Q. Zhang, Y. Song, Fixed point theory forgeneralized $varphi$-weak contractions,Appl. Math. Lett. 22(2009) 75-78] proved a common fixed point theorem for two mapssatisfying generalized $varphi$-weak contractions. In this paper, we prove a common fixed point theorem fora family of compatible maps. In fact, a new generalization of Zhangand Song's theorem is given.
