ON COMMON FIXED POINTS THEOREMS FOR ORDERED $F$-CONTRACTIONS WITH APPLICATION

Abstract

We study the conditions for existence of a unique common fixed point of ordered $F$-contractions defined on an ordered partial metric space; in particular, we present a common fixed point result for a pair of ordered $F$-contractions satisfying a generalized rational type contractive condition and discuss its consequences. It is remarked that the notion of an $F$-contraction in partial metric spaces is more general than that in metric spaces. As application of our findings, we demonstrate the existence of common solution of the system of Volterra type integral equations.
