Common fixed point results for noncommuting mappings without continuity in cone metric spaces (Q2474947)

Let \((X, d)\) be a cone metric space and \(P\) a normal cone with a constant. Let maps \(f, g: X \rightarrow X\) be such that \(f(X) \subseteq g(X), g(X)\) is a complete subspace of \(X\) and \(f, g\) are commuting at their coincidence points. Further let for any \(x, y\) in \(X\), \[ d(fx, fy) \leq ad(gx, gy) + b[d(fx, gx) + d(fy, gy)] + c[d(fx, gy) + d(fy, gx)], \] where \(a\geq 0, b\geq 0, c\geq 0\) and \(a + 2b + 2c < 1.\) Then the authors, extending a result of \textit{G.\,Jungck} [Am.\ Math.\ Mon.\ 83, 261--263 (1976; Zbl 0321.54025)] (respectively, \textit{R.\,Kannan} [Bull.\ Calcutta Math.\ Soc.\ 60, 71--76 (1968; Zbl 0209.27104)]), show in Theorem~2.1 with \(a = k, b = c = 0\) (respectively, in Theorem~2.3, with \(a = c = 0, b = k\)) that \(f\) and \(g\) have a unique common fixed point. They obtain the same conclusion in Theorem~2.4 with \(a = b = 0, c = k\). (In Theorem~2.4, ``\(d(fx, fy)\leq\)'' is misprinted as ''\(d(fx, fy)<\)''.)
