We introduce the concept of a w-compatible mapping to obtain a coupled coincidence point and a
coupled point of coincidence for nonlinear contractive mappings in partially ordered metric spaces
equipped with w-distances Related coupled common fixed point theorems for such mappings are
also proved Our results generalize, extend, and unify several well-known comparable results in the literature
1 Introduction and Preliminaries
In 1996, Kada et al.1 introduced the notion of w-distance They elaborated, with the help
of examples, that the concept of w-distance is general than that of metric on a nonempty set.
They also proved a generalization of Caristi fixed point theorem employing the definition of
w-distance on a complete metric space Recently, Ili´c and Rakoˇcevi´c2 obtained fixed point
and common fixed point theorems in terms of w-distance on complete metric spacessee also

Definition 1.1 Let X, d be a metric space A mapping p : X × X → 0, ∞ is called a w-distance on X if the following are satisfied:
w1 px, z ≤ px, y py, z for all x, y, z ∈ X,
w2 for any x ∈ X,px, · : X → 0, ∞ is lower semicontinuous,
Trang 2w3 for any ε > 0 there exists δε > 0 such that pz, x ≤ δ and pz, y ≤ δ imply
p x, y ≤ ε, for any x, y, z ∈ X.
The metric d is a w-distance on X For more examples of w-distances, we refer to10
Definition 1.2 Let X be a nonempty set with a w-distance on X Ones denotes the w-closure
of a subset B of X by cl ω B which is defined as
clω B x ∈ X : px n , x −→ 0 for some sequence {x n } in B∪ B. 1.1 The next Lemma is crucial in the proof of our results
Lemma 1.3 see 1 Let X, d be a metric space, and let p be a w-distance on X Let {xn } and {y n } be sequences in X, let α n and β n be sequences in 0, ∞ converging to 0, and let x, y, z ∈ X.
Then the following hold.
1 If px n , y ≤ α n and p x n , z ≤ β n for any n ∈ N, then y z In particular, if px, y
0, px, z 0 then y z.
2 If px n , y n ≤ α n and p x n , z ≤ β n for any n ∈ N, then y n converges to z.
3 If px n , x m ≤ α n for any m, n ∈ N with n ≺ m, then x n is a Cauchy sequence.
4 If py, x n ≤ α n for any n ∈ N, then x n is a Cauchy sequence.
Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham in11 introduced the concept of coupled fixed point
of a mapping F : X ×X → X and investigated some coupled fixed point theorems in partially
ordered sets They also discussed an application of their result by investigating the existence and uniqueness of solution for a periodic boundary value problem Sabetghadam et al in12 introduced this concept in cone metric spaces They investigated some coupled fixed point theorems in cone metric spaces Recently, Lakshmikantham and ´Ciri´c13 proved coupled coincidence and coupled common fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractive mappings
in partially ordered complete metric spaces which extend the coupled fixed point theorem given in11 The following are some other definitions needed in the sequel
Definition 1.4see 12 Let X be any nonempty set Let F : X × X → X and g : X → X be two mappings An ordered pairx, y ∈ X × X is called
1 a coupled fixed point of a mapping F : X × X → X if x Fx, y and y Fy, x,
2 a coupled coincidence point of hybrid pair {F, g} if gx Fx, y and gy
F y, x and gx, gy is called coupled point of coincidence,
3 a common coupled fixed point of hybrid pair {F, g} if x gx Fx, y and
y gy Fy, x.
Note that ifx, y is a coupled fixed point of F, then y, x is also a coupled fixed point of the mapping F.
Definition 1.5 Let X be any nonempty set Mappings F : X × X → X and g : X → X are called w-compatible if gFx, y Fgx, gy whenever gx Fx, y and gy Fy, x.
Trang 3Definition 1.6 Let X, d be a metric space with w-distance p A mapping F : X × X → X
is said to be w-continuous at a point x, y ∈ X × X with respect to mapping g : X → X
if for every ε > 0 there exists a δε > 0 such that pgu, gx pgv, gy < δ implies that
p Fx, y, Fu, v < ε for all u, v ∈ X.
Definition 1.7 Let X be a partially ordered set Mapping g : X → X is called strictly
monotone increasing mapping if
x y ⇐⇒ gx gy or equivalentlyx y ⇐⇒ gx gy. 1.2
Definition 1.8 Let X be a partially ordered set A mapping F : X × X → X is said to be a mixed monotone if Fx, y is monotone nondecreasing in x and monotone nonincreasing in
y, that is, for any x, y ∈ X,
x1, x2∈ X, x1 x2⇒ Fx1, y
Fx2, y
,
y1, y2∈ X, y1 y2 ⇒ Fx, y1
Fx, y2
Kada et al.1 gave an example to show that p is not symmetric in general We denote by
M X and M1X, respectively, the class of all distances on X and the class of all w-distances on X which are symmetric for comparable elements in X Also in the sequel, we
will consider thatx, y and u, v are comparable with respect to ordering in X × X if x u and y v.
2 Coupled Coincidence Point
In this section, we prove coincidence point results in the frame work of partially ordered
metric spaces in terms of a w-distance.
Theorem 2.1 Let X, d be a partially ordered metric space with a w-distance p and g : X → X a
strictly monotone increasing mapping Suppose that a mixed monotone mapping F : X × X → X is
w-continuous with respect to g such that
p

for all x, y, u, v ∈ X with x u, y v or x u, y v and a1 a2< 1 Let F X × X ⊆ gX and
p y, x 0 whenever px, y 0, for some x, y ∈ cl ω FX × X If gX is complete and there exist
x0, y0∈ X such that gx0 Fx0, y0 and Fy0, x0 gy0, then F and g have a coupled coincidence point.
Proof Let gx1 Fx0, y0 and gy1 Fy0, x0 for some x1, y1 ∈ X; this can be done since
F X × X ⊆ gX Following the same arguments, we obtain gx2 Fx1, y1 and gy2

Trang 6Lemma 1.33 implies that {Fn x0, y0} {gx n } and {F n y0, x0} {gy n} are Cauchy
sequences in gX Since gX is complete, there exist x, y ∈ X such that gx n → gx and
gy n → gy Since pgx n ,· is lower semicontinuous, we have

usingLemma 1.31, we obtain Fx, y gx Similarly, we can prove that Fy, x gy Hence
x, y is coupled coincidence point of F and g.
Trang 7Theorem 2.2 Let X, d be a partially ordered metric space with a w-distance p having the following
properties.
1 If {x n } is in X with x n x n1for all n and x n → x for some x ∈ X, then x n x for all
n.
2 If {y n } is in X with y n1 y n for all n and y n → y for some y ∈ X, then y y n for all n.

Proof Construct two sequences {gx n } {F n x0, y0} and {gy n } {F n y0, x0} such that
gx n gx n1and gy n gy n1for all n and gx n → gx and gy n → gy for some x ∈ X, as
given in the proof ofTheorem 2.1 Now, we need to show that Fx, y gx and Fy, x gy

3 Coupled Common Fixed Point
In this section, using the concept of w-compatible maps, we obtain a unique coupled common
fixed point of two mappings
Theorem 3.1 Let all the hypotheses of Theorem 2.1 (resp., Theorem 2.2 ) hold with a1 a2< 1/2 If for every x, y, x∗, y∗ ∈ X × X there exists u, v ∈ X × X that is comparable to x, y and x∗, y∗
with respect to ordering in X × X, then there exists a unique coupled point of coincidence of F and g.
Moreover if F and g are w-compatible, then F and g have a unique coupled common fixed point Proof Let gx∗, gy∗ be another coupled coincidence point of F and g We will discuss the
following two cases
Case 1 If x, y is comparable to x∗, y∗ with respect to ordering in X × X, then
p

3.1
implies that pgx, gx∗ pgy, gy∗ 0 Hence pgx, gx∗ 0 pgy, gy∗ Also,
p

pFx, x, Fx, x pF
y, y
, F
y, y
≤ 2a1p
gx, gx
2a2p
gives that pgx, gx 0 pgy, gy The result follows usingLemma 1.31
Case 2 If x, y is not comparable to x∗, y∗, then there exists an upper bound or lower bound u, v of x, y, x∗, y∗ Again since g is strictly monotone increasing mapping and
F satisfies mixed monotone property, therefore, for all n 0, 1, ,F n u, v, F n v, u is
Trang 9comparable toF n x, y, F n y, x gx, gy and F n y, x, F n x, y gy, gx Following
similar arguments to those given in the proof ofTheorem 2.1, we obtain

3.3
where β0 max{pgu, gx pgv, gy, pgx, gu pgy, gv} and γ0 max{pgx∗, gu
p gy∗, gv , pgu, gx∗ pgv, gy∗} On taking limit as n → ∞ on both sides of 3.3, we
have
p
gx, gx∗
pgy, gy∗
and pgx, gx∗ 0 pgy, gy∗ By the same lines as in Case1, we prove that pgx, gx
0 pgy, gy AgainLemma 1.31 implies that gx gx∗and gy gy∗ Hencegx, gy is unique coupled point of coincidence of F and g Note that if gx, gy is a coupled point of coincidence of F and g, then gy, gx are also a coupled points of coincidence of F and g Then gx gy and therefore gx, gx is unique coupled point of coincidence of F and g Let
u gx Since F and g are w-compatible, we obtain
gu ggx
gFx, x Fgx, gx
Fu, u. 3.5
Consequently gu gx Therefore u gu Fu, u Hence u, u is a coupled common fixed point of F and g.
Remark 3.2 If in addition to the hypothesis ofTheorem 2.1resp.,Theorem 2.2 we suppose
that p ∈ M1X, x0and y0are comparable, then gx gy.
Proof Recall that gx0 Fx0, y0 Now, if x0 y0, then gx0 gy0 We claim that, for all
n ∈ N, gx n gy n Since g is strictly monotone increasing and F satisfies mixed monotone
property, we have
gx1 Fx0, y0
Fy0, x0
gy1. 3.6
Assuming that gx n gy n , since g is strictly monotone increasing, so x n y n By the mixed
monotone property of F, we have
gx n1 F n1
x0, y0
Fx n , y n
Fy n , x n
gy n1. 3.7
Trang 10gx n gy n ∀n. 3.8
Letting ε > 0, there exists an n0∈ N such that pgx, F n x0, y0 < ε/4 and pF n y0, x0, gy <
