Abstract: We introduce the notion of admissible functions and show that the family of L-functions introduced by Lim in [Nonlinear Anal. 46(2001), 113--120] and the family of test functions introduced by Geraghty in [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 40(1973), 604--608] are admissible. Then we prove that if $phi$ is an admissible function, $(X,d)$ is a complete metric space, and $T$ is a mapping on $X$ such that, for $alpha(s)=phi(s)/s$, the condition $1/(1+alpha(d(x,Tx)))d(x,Tx)<d(x,y)$ implies $d(Tx,Ty)<phi(d(x,y))$, for all $x,yinX$, then $T$ has a unique fixed point. We also show that our fixed point theorem characterizes the metric completeness of $X$.
