Let \(X\) be a complete metric space with metric \(d\), which is partially ordered. A mapping \(F: X\times X\to X\) is called mixed monotone if \(F(x,y)\) is monotone nondecreasing in \(x\) and monotone nonincreasing in \(y\). A pair \((\overline x,\overline y)\in X\times X\) is called a coupled fixed point of \(F\) if \(F(\overline x,\overline y)=\overline x\), \(F(\overline y,\overline x)=\overline y\). The main result of the paper is the following theorem. Theorem. Let \(X\) be a partialy ordered complete metric space, let \(F: X\times X\to X\) be mixed monotone and such that (i) There is a constant \(k\in [0,1)\) such that for each \(x\geq u\), \(y\leq v\) \[ d(F(x,y), F(u,v))+ d(F(y, x), F(v,u))\leq k[d(x, u)+ d(y,v)]. \] (ii) There exist \(x_0,y_0\in X\) with \[ x_0\leq F(x_0, y_0)\quad\text{and}\quad y_0\leq F(y_0, x_0) \] or \[ x_0\geq F(x_0, y_0)\quad\text{and}\quad y_0\leq F(y_0, x_0). \] Then \(F\) has a coupled fixed point \((\overline x,\overline y)\). The author also gives conditions under which there exists a unique coupled fixed point. Finally, he applies this theorems to the periodic boundary value problem \[ u'= h(t,u),\quad t\in (0,T),\quad u(0)= u(T) \] with \(h(t,u)= f(t,u)+ g(t,u)\).
