We first introduce a new class of contractive mappings in the setting of metric spaces and then we present certain Gregus type fixedpoint theorems for such mappings As an application we derive certain Gregus type common fixed theorems Our results extendGregus fixed point theorem inmetric spaces and generalize and unify some related results in the literature An example is also givento support our main result
1 Introduction and Preliminaries
Let 119883 be a Banach space and let 119862 be a closed convex subsetof119883 In 1980 Gregus [1] proved the following result
Theorem 1 Let 119879 119862 rarr 119862 be a mapping satisfying theinequality

for all 119909 119910 isin 119862 where 0 lt 119886 lt 1 119887 119888 ge 0 and 119886 + 119887 + 119888 = 1Then 119879 has a unique fixed point
Fisher and Sessa [2] Jungck [3] and Hussain et al [4]obtained common fixed point generalizations of Theorem 1In recent years many theorems which are closely related toGregusrsquos Theorem have appeared (see [1ndash21]) Very recentlyMoradi and Farajzadeh [21] extended Gregus fixed pointtheorem in complete metric spaces
Theorem 2 ([21 Theorem 24]) Let (119883 119889) be a completemetric space and let 119879 119883 rarr 119883 be a mapping such thatfor all 119909 119910 isin 119883
119889 (119879119909 119879119910) le 119886119889 (119909 119910) + 119887119889 (119909 119879119909)
+ 119888119889 (119910 119879119910) + 119890119889 (119910 119879119909) + 119891119889 (119909T119910) (2)
where 0 lt 119886 lt 1 119887 119888 119890 119891 ge 0 119887 + 119888 gt 0 119890 + 119891 gt 0 and119886 + 119887 + 119888 + 119890 + 119891 = 1 Then 119879 has a unique fixed point
Let 119868 and 119879 be self-maps of 119883 A point 119909 isin 119883 is acoincidence point (resp common fixed point) of 119868 and 119879 if119868119909 = 119879119909 (resp 119909 = I119909 = 119879119909) The pair 119868 119879 is called (1)commuting if119879119868119909 = 119868119879119909 for all119909 isin 119883 (2) weakly commuting[2] if for all 119909 isin 119883 119889(119868119879119909 119879119868119909) le 119889(119868119909 119879119909) (3) compatible[3] if lim
119899119889(119879119868119909
119899 119868119879119909119899) = 0 whenever 119909
119899 is a sequence
such that lim119899119879119909119899= lim119899119868119909119899= 119905 for some 119905 in119883 (4) weakly
compatible if they commute at their coincidence points thatis if 119868119879119909 = 119879119868119909 whenever 119868119909 = 119879119909 Clearly commutingmaps are weakly commuting and weakly commuting mapsare compatible References [2 3] give examples which showthat neither implication is reversible
The purpose of this paper is to define and to investigate aclass of new generalized contractive mappings (not necessar-ily continuous) on metric spaces We will prove certain fixedpoint and common fixed results which are generalizations ofthe above mentioned theorems

Now we are ready to state our main result
Theorem 6 Let (119883 119889) be a complete metric space and let 119879
119883 rarr 119883 be a mapping satisfying
119889 (119879119909 119879119910)

(4)
for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 where 119906 isin U Then 119879 has a unique fixedpoint
Proof We first show that 120572 = inf119909isin119883
119889(119909 119879119909) = 0 If119889(119909 119879119909) = 0 for some 119909 isin 119883 then 119909 is a fixed point of 119879and we are done So we may assume that 119889(119909 119879119909) gt 0 foreach 119909 isin 119883 From (4) (C

(20)
Since 119906 is continuous from (20)
119889 (119909 119879119909) le 119906 (0 0 119889 (119909 119879119909) 0 119889 (119909 119879119909)) (21)
and hence by (C3) 119889(119909 119879119909) = 0 that is 119879119909 = 119909 To prove
the uniqueness note that if 119910 is a fixed point of 119879 then 119910 isin
⋂infin
119899=1119862119899sube ⋂infin
119899=1119862119899= 119909 and hence 119909 = 119910
Remark 7 Note that to prove Theorem 2 we may assumethat 119887 = 119888 and 119891 = 119890 (see the proof of Theorem 24 in[21]) Thus by Example 3 Theorem 6 is a generalization ofthe above mentionedTheorem 2 of Moradi and Farajzadeh
If we take 119906 as in Example 4 from Theorem 6 we get themain result of Ciric [10]
The following corollary improves Theorem 24 in [6]
Corollary 8 Let (119883 119889) be a complete metric space and let 119879
119883 rarr 119883 be a mapping satisfying
119889 (119879119909 119879119910)
le 119896max119889 (119909 119910) 119889 (119909 119879119909) 119889 (119910 119879119910)
119889 (119910 119879119909) + 119889 (119909 119879119910)

+ 119871min 119889 (119909 119910) 119889 (119909 119879119909) 119889 (119910 119879119910)
119889 (119910 119879119909) 119889 (119909 119879119910)
(22)
for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 where 119896 isin [0 1) and 119871 ge 0 Then 119879 has aunique fixed point
As an easy consequence of the axiom of choice [13 page5] AC5 for every function 119891 119883 rarr 119883 there is a function 119892
such that 119863(119892) = 119877(119891) and for every 119909 isin 119863(119892) 119891(119892119909) = 119909]we obtain the following lemma (see also [22])
Lemma 9 Let 119883 be a nonempty set and let 119892 119883 rarr 119883 be amapping Then there exists a subset 119864 sube 119883 such that 119892(119864) =
119892(119883) and 119892 119864 rarr 119883 is one-to-one
As an application of Theorem 6 we now establish acommon fixed point result
Theorem 10 Let (119883 119889) be a metric space and let 119892119879 119883 rarr
119883 be mappings satisfying
119889 (119879119909 119879119910) le 119906 (119889 (119892119909 119892119910) 119889 (119892119909 119879119909)
119889 (119892119910 119879119910) 119889 (119892119910 119879119909) 119889 (119892119909 119879119910))
(23)
for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 where 119906 isin U Suppose that 119879119883 sube 119892119883 and119892119883 is complete subspace of 119883 Then 119892 and 119879 have a uniquecoincidence point Further if 119892 and 119879 are weakly compatiblethen they have a unique common fixed point
Proof ByLemma 9 there exists119864 sube 119883 such that119892(119864) = 119892(119883)
and 119892 119864 rarr 119883 is one-to-one We define a mapping 119866
119892(119864) rarr 119892(119864) by
119866 (119892119909) = 119879 (119909) (24)
for all 119892119909 isin 119892(119864) As 119892 is one-to-one on 119892(119864) and 119879(119883) sube
119892(119883) 119866 is well defined Thus it follows from (23) and (24)that
119889 (119866 (119892119909) 119866 (119892119910)) = 119889 (119879119909 119879119910)
le 119906 (119889 (119892119909 119892119910) 119889 (119892119909 119879119909) 119889 (119892119910 119879119910)
119889 (119892119910 119879119909) 119889 (119892119909 119879119910))
(25)
for all 119892119909 119892119910 isin 119892(119883) = 119892(119864) Thus the function 119866 119892(119864) rarr
119892(119864) satisfies all conditions of Theorem 6 so 119866 has a uniquefixed point 119911 isin 119892(119883) As 119911 isin 119892(119883) there exists 119908 isin 119883 such
4 Journal of Applied Mathematics
that 119911 = 119892(119908) Thus 119879(119908) = 119866(119892119908) = 119866(119911) = 119911 = 119892(119908)
which implies that 119892 and 119879 have a unique coincidence pointFurther if 119892 and 119879 are weakly compatible then they have aunique common fixed point
If we take 119906 as in Example 5 then from Theorem 10 weobtain the following result which extendsmany related resultsin the literature (see [16 17])

As a linear continuous operator defined on a closed subsetof a normed space is closed operator we obtain the followingnew common fixed point results as corollaries toTheorem 11

Corollary 14 (see Jungck [3]) Let 119879 and 119892 be compatible self-maps of a closed convex subset 119862 of a Banach space119883 Supposethat 119892 is continuous and linear and that 119879(119862) sub 119892(119862) If 119879 and119892 satisfy inequality (28) then 119879 and 119892 have a unique commonfixed point in 119862
Now we illustrate our main result by the followingexample
Example 15 Let119883 = 1 2 3 4 and let119889(1 2) = 54119889(1 3) =1 119889(1 4) = 74 and 119889(2 3) = 119889(2 4) = 119889(3 4) = 2 Then(119883 119889) is a complete metric space Let119879 119883 rarr 119883 be given by1198791 = 11198792 = 41198793 = 4 and1198794 = 1Then it is straightforwardto show that

for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 Then by Corollary 8 119879 has a unique fixedpoint (119909 = 1 is the unique fixed point of 119879)
Now we show that 119879 does not satisfy the conditionof Theorem 2 of Moradi and Farajzadeh On the contraryassume that there exist nonnegative numbers 0 lt 119886 lt 1119887 119888 119890 119891 ge 0 119887 + 119888 gt 0 119890 + 119891 gt 0 such that

a contradictionThus we cannot invoke the above mentionedtheorem of Moradi and Farajzadeh (Theorem 2) to show theexistence of a fixed point of 119879

Now we are ready to state our main result
Theorem 6 Let (119883 119889) be a complete metric space and let 119879

(4)
for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 where 119906 isin U Then 119879 has a unique fixedpoint
Proof We first show that 120572 = inf119909isin119883
119889(119909 119879119909) = 0 If119889(119909 119879119909) = 0 for some 119909 isin 119883 then 119909 is a fixed point of 119879and we are done So we may assume that 119889(119909 119879119909) gt 0 foreach 119909 isin 119883 From (4) (C

Remark 7 Note that to prove Theorem 2 we may assumethat 119887 = 119888 and 119891 = 119890 (see the proof of Theorem 24 in[21]) Thus by Example 3 Theorem 6 is a generalization ofthe above mentionedTheorem 2 of Moradi and Farajzadeh
If we take 119906 as in Example 4 from Theorem 6 we get themain result of Ciric [10]
The following corollary improves Theorem 24 in [6]
Corollary 8 Let (119883 119889) be a complete metric space and let 119879

for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 where 119896 isin [0 1) and 119871 ge 0 Then 119879 has aunique fixed point
As an easy consequence of the axiom of choice [13 page5] AC5 for every function 119891 119883 rarr 119883 there is a function 119892
such that 119863(119892) = 119877(119891) and for every 119909 isin 119863(119892) 119891(119892119909) = 119909]we obtain the following lemma (see also [22])
Lemma 9 Let 119883 be a nonempty set and let 119892 119883 rarr 119883 be amapping Then there exists a subset 119864 sube 119883 such that 119892(119864) =
119892(119883) and 119892 119864 rarr 119883 is one-to-one
As an application of Theorem 6 we now establish acommon fixed point result
Theorem 10 Let (119883 119889) be a metric space and let 119892119879 119883 rarr

for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 where 119906 isin U Suppose that 119879119883 sube 119892119883 and119892119883 is complete subspace of 119883 Then 119892 and 119879 have a uniquecoincidence point Further if 119892 and 119879 are weakly compatiblethen they have a unique common fixed point
Proof ByLemma 9 there exists119864 sube 119883 such that119892(119864) = 119892(119883)
and 119892 119864 rarr 119883 is one-to-one We define a mapping 119866
119892(119864) rarr 119892(119864) by
119866 (119892119909) = 119879 (119909) (24)
for all 119892119909 isin 119892(119864) As 119892 is one-to-one on 119892(119864) and 119879(119883) sube
119892(119883) 119866 is well defined Thus it follows from (23) and (24)that

for all 119892119909 119892119910 isin 119892(119883) = 119892(119864) Thus the function 119866 119892(119864) rarr
119892(119864) satisfies all conditions of Theorem 6 so 119866 has a uniquefixed point 119911 isin 119892(119883) As 119911 isin 119892(119883) there exists 119908 isin 119883 such

that 119911 = 119892(119908) Thus 119879(119908) = 119866(119892119908) = 119866(119911) = 119911 = 119892(119908)
which implies that 119892 and 119879 have a unique coincidence pointFurther if 119892 and 119879 are weakly compatible then they have aunique common fixed point
If we take 119906 as in Example 5 then from Theorem 10 weobtain the following result which extendsmany related resultsin the literature (see [16 17])

for all 119909 119910 isin 119862 where 119886 isin (0 1) and 119871 ge 0 If 119892 is linear andnonexpansive on 119862 and 119879(119862) sube 119892(119862) then 119879 and 119892 have aunique common fixed point in 119862
Corollary 14 (see Jungck [3]) Let 119879 and 119892 be compatible self-maps of a closed convex subset 119862 of a Banach space119883 Supposethat 119892 is continuous and linear and that 119879(119862) sub 119892(119862) If 119879 and119892 satisfy inequality (28) then 119879 and 119892 have a unique commonfixed point in 119862
Now we illustrate our main result by the followingexample
Example 15 Let119883 = 1 2 3 4 and let119889(1 2) = 54119889(1 3) =1 119889(1 4) = 74 and 119889(2 3) = 119889(2 4) = 119889(3 4) = 2 Then(119883 119889) is a complete metric space Let119879 119883 rarr 119883 be given by1198791 = 11198792 = 41198793 = 4 and1198794 = 1Then it is straightforwardto show that

for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 Then by Corollary 8 119879 has a unique fixedpoint (119909 = 1 is the unique fixed point of 119879)
Now we show that 119879 does not satisfy the conditionof Theorem 2 of Moradi and Farajzadeh On the contraryassume that there exist nonnegative numbers 0 lt 119886 lt 1119887 119888 119890 119891 ge 0 119887 + 119888 gt 0 119890 + 119891 gt 0 such that

for all 119909 119910 isin 119883 Let (1199091 1199101) = (1 2) and (119909

a contradictionThus we cannot invoke the above mentionedtheorem of Moradi and Farajzadeh (Theorem 2) to show theexistence of a fixed point of 119879

As an easy consequence of the axiom of choice [13 page5] AC5 for every function 119891 119883 rarr 119883 there is a function 119892
such that 119863(119892) = 119877(119891) and for every 119909 isin 119863(119892) 119891(119892119909) = 119909]we obtain the following lemma (see also [22])
Lemma 9 Let 119883 be a nonempty set and let 119892 119883 rarr 119883 be amapping Then there exists a subset 119864 sube 119883 such that 119892(119864) =
119892(119883) and 119892 119864 rarr 119883 is one-to-one
As an application of Theorem 6 we now establish acommon fixed point result
Theorem 10 Let (119883 119889) be a metric space and let 119892119879 119883 rarr
119883 be mappings satisfying
119889 (119879119909 119879119910) le 119906 (119889 (119892119909 119892119910) 119889 (119892119909 119879119909)

(23)
for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 where 119906 isin U Suppose that 119879119883 sube 119892119883 and119892119883 is complete subspace of 119883 Then 119892 and 119879 have a uniquecoincidence point Further if 119892 and 119879 are weakly compatiblethen they have a unique common fixed point
Proof ByLemma 9 there exists119864 sube 119883 such that119892(119864) = 119892(119883)
and 119892 119864 rarr 119883 is one-to-one We define a mapping 119866
119892(119864) rarr 119892(119864) by
119866 (119892119909) = 119879 (119909) (24)
for all 119892119909 isin 119892(119864) As 119892 is one-to-one on 119892(119864) and 119879(119883) sube
119892(119883) 119866 is well defined Thus it follows from (23) and (24)that
119889 (119866 (119892119909) 119866 (119892119910)) = 119889 (119879119909 119879119910)
le 119906 (119889 (119892119909 119892119910) 119889 (119892119909 119879119909) 119889 (119892119910 119879119910)

(25)
for all 119892119909 119892119910 isin 119892(119883) = 119892(119864) Thus the function 119866 119892(119864) rarr
119892(119864) satisfies all conditions of Theorem 6 so 119866 has a uniquefixed point 119911 isin 119892(119883) As 119911 isin 119892(119883) there exists 119908 isin 119883 such

that 119911 = 119892(119908) Thus 119879(119908) = 119866(119892119908) = 119866(119911) = 119911 = 119892(119908)
which implies that 119892 and 119879 have a unique coincidence pointFurther if 119892 and 119879 are weakly compatible then they have aunique common fixed point
If we take 119906 as in Example 5 then from Theorem 10 weobtain the following result which extendsmany related resultsin the literature (see [16 17])

for all 119909 119910 isin 119862 where 119886 isin (0 1) and 119871 ge 0 If 119892 is linear andnonexpansive on 119862 and 119879(119862) sube 119892(119862) then 119879 and 119892 have aunique common fixed point in 119862
Corollary 14 (see Jungck [3]) Let 119879 and 119892 be compatible self-maps of a closed convex subset 119862 of a Banach space119883 Supposethat 119892 is continuous and linear and that 119879(119862) sub 119892(119862) If 119879 and119892 satisfy inequality (28) then 119879 and 119892 have a unique commonfixed point in 119862
Now we illustrate our main result by the followingexample
Example 15 Let119883 = 1 2 3 4 and let119889(1 2) = 54119889(1 3) =1 119889(1 4) = 74 and 119889(2 3) = 119889(2 4) = 119889(3 4) = 2 Then(119883 119889) is a complete metric space Let119879 119883 rarr 119883 be given by1198791 = 11198792 = 41198793 = 4 and1198794 = 1Then it is straightforwardto show that

for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 Then by Corollary 8 119879 has a unique fixedpoint (119909 = 1 is the unique fixed point of 119879)
Now we show that 119879 does not satisfy the conditionof Theorem 2 of Moradi and Farajzadeh On the contraryassume that there exist nonnegative numbers 0 lt 119886 lt 1119887 119888 119890 119891 ge 0 119887 + 119888 gt 0 119890 + 119891 gt 0 such that

a contradictionThus we cannot invoke the above mentionedtheorem of Moradi and Farajzadeh (Theorem 2) to show theexistence of a fixed point of 119879

(27)
for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 where 119896 isin [0 1) Suppose that119879119883 sube 119892119883 and119892119883 is a complete subspace of 119883 Then 119892 and 119879 have a uniquecoincidence point Further if 119892 and 119879 are weakly compatiblethen they have a unique common fixed point
As a linear continuous operator defined on a closed subsetof a normed space is closed operator we obtain the followingnew common fixed point results as corollaries toTheorem 11
Corollary 13 (see Fisher and Sessa [2]) Let 119879 and 119892 be twoweakly commuting mappings on a closed convex subset 119862 of aBanach space119883 into itself satisfying the inequality1003817100381710038171003817119879119909 minus 119879119910

for all 119909 119910 isin 119862 where 119886 isin (0 1) and 119871 ge 0 If 119892 is linear andnonexpansive on 119862 and 119879(119862) sube 119892(119862) then 119879 and 119892 have aunique common fixed point in 119862
Corollary 14 (see Jungck [3]) Let 119879 and 119892 be compatible self-maps of a closed convex subset 119862 of a Banach space119883 Supposethat 119892 is continuous and linear and that 119879(119862) sub 119892(119862) If 119879 and119892 satisfy inequality (28) then 119879 and 119892 have a unique commonfixed point in 119862
Now we illustrate our main result by the followingexample
Example 15 Let119883 = 1 2 3 4 and let119889(1 2) = 54119889(1 3) =1 119889(1 4) = 74 and 119889(2 3) = 119889(2 4) = 119889(3 4) = 2 Then(119883 119889) is a complete metric space Let119879 119883 rarr 119883 be given by1198791 = 11198792 = 41198793 = 4 and1198794 = 1Then it is straightforwardto show that
119889 (119879119909 119879119910) le7
8max119889 (119909 119910) 119889 (119909 119879119909) 119889 (119910 119879119910)

(29)
for each 119909 119910 isin 119883 Then by Corollary 8 119879 has a unique fixedpoint (119909 = 1 is the unique fixed point of 119879)
Now we show that 119879 does not satisfy the conditionof Theorem 2 of Moradi and Farajzadeh On the contraryassume that there exist nonnegative numbers 0 lt 119886 lt 1119887 119888 119890 119891 ge 0 119887 + 119888 gt 0 119890 + 119891 gt 0 such that
119889 (119879119909 119879119910) le 119886119889 (119909 119910) + 119887119889 (119909 119879119909) + 119888119889 (119910 119879119910)

(30)
for all 119909 119910 isin 119883 Let (1199091 1199101) = (1 2) and (119909
2 1199102) = (2 1)
Then from (30) we have

(32)
a contradictionThus we cannot invoke the above mentionedtheorem of Moradi and Farajzadeh (Theorem 2) to show theexistence of a fixed point of 119879
Remark 16 The technique of proof of Theorem 6 is inline with the proof of Theorem 24 in [23] Thereforethe reader interested in fixed point results for generalizedcontractionsnonexpansive mappings in the general setup ofuniformly convex metric spaces is referred to [23]
