Common fixed points in a partially ordered partial metric space (Q355568)

Summary: In the first part of this paper, we prove some generalized versions of the result of \textit{S. G. Matthews} [Ann. N. Y. Acad. Sci. 728, 183--197 (1994; Zbl 0911.54025)] using different types of conditions in partially ordered partial metric spaces for dominated self-mappings or in partial metric spaces for self-mappings. In the second part, using our results, we deduce a characterization of partial metric 0-completeness in terms of fixed point theory. This result extends the characterization of metric completeness due to \textit{P. V. Subrahmanyam} [Monatsh. Math. 80, 325--330 (1975; Zbl 0312.54048)].
