Coupled coincidence and common fixed point theorems for hybrid pair of mappings

Bhaskar and Lakshimkantham proved the existence of coupled fixed point for a single valued mapping under weak contractive conditions and as an application they proved the existence of a unique solution of a boundary value problem associated with a first order ordinary differential equation. Recently, Lakshmikantham and Ciric obtained a coupled coincidence and coupled common fixed point of two single valued maps. In this article, we extend these concepts to multi-valued mappings and obtain coupled coincidence points and common coupled fixed point theorems involving hybrid pair of single valued and multi-valued maps satisfying generalized contractive conditions in the frame work of a complete metric space. Two examples are presented to support our results.
