Coupled fixed-point theorems for contraction mapping induced by cone ball-metric in partially ordered spaces

Abstract

Recently, Chen et al. (Appl. Math. Lett. 25:692-697, 2012) introduced the concept of the cone ball-metric and studied the common fixed-point theorems for the stronger Meir-Keeler cone-type function in cone ball-metric spaces. The purpose of this paper is to establish the coupled fixed-point theorems for nonlinear contraction mappings, which have a mixed monotone property by using the cone ball-metric. Also, we give some examples to validate our main results. At the end of this paper, we give an open problem for further investigation. © 2012 Sintunavarat et al.
