Employing common limit range property to prove unified metrical common fixed point theorems (Q355611)

Summary: The purpose of this paper is to emphasize the role of ``common limit range property'' to ascertain the existence of common fixed point in metric spaces satisfying an implicit function essentially due to \textit{J. Ali} and \textit{M. Imdad} [Sarajevo J. Math. 4(17), No.~2, 269--285 (2008; Zbl 1180.54052)]. As an application to our main result, we derive a fixed point theorem for four finite families of self-mappings which can be utilized to derive common fixed point theorems involving any finite number of mappings. Our results improve and extend a host of previously known results including the ones contained in the paper of Ali and Imdad [loc.\,cit.]. We also furnish some illustrative examples to support our main results.
