Several interesting results dealing with common fixed points are proved. These theorems extend and unify earlier results. A common fixed point theorem for a pair of mappings is proved. For a sequence of operators a common fixed point theorem is also given. The following main theorem runs as follows: Let \((X,d)\) be a complete metric space. If \(T_ 1\) and \(T_ 2\) are two operators mapping \(X\) into itself such that \[ d(T^ p_ 2x,T^ q_ 2y)\leq\alpha d(x,y)+\beta[d(x,T^ p_ 2x)+d(y,T^ q_ 2y)]+\gamma[d(x,T^ q_ 2y)+d(y,T^ p_ 1x)] \] for all \(x,y\in X\), where \(\alpha,\beta,\gamma\in R_ +\), \(\alpha+2\beta+2\gamma<1\) and \(p\), \(q\) are positive integers, then \(T_ 1\) and \(T_ 2\) have a unique common fixed point in \(X\).
