Abstract

Mustafa,(2004) generalized the concept of metric spacesby introducing G-metric spacesand proved fixed point theorems for maps satisfying different contractive conditions[see Mustafa,(2004),(2006),(2008),(2009),(2010)]. In this article, we introduce the notion of w-compatible maps, b-coupled coincidence points and b-common coupled fixed points for non self maps and obtain fixed point results using these new notions in G-metric spaces. It is worth to mention that our results neither rely on completeness of the space nor the continuity of any mappings involved therein. Also, relevant examples have been cited to illustrate the effectiveness of our results. As an application,we demonstrate the existence of solution of system of nonlinear integral equations.
