This paper gives some coupled fixed point theorems for a monotone mapping in a metric space endowed with a partial order, using a weak contractivity type assumption. Besides including several recent developments, the theorems can be used to investigate a class of problems. As an application, the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a periodic boundary value problem are discussed.
