Abstract
After the appearance of relation-theoretic contraction principle due to Alam and Imdad, the domain of fixed point theory applied to relational metric spaces has attracted much attention. Existence and uniqueness of fixed/coincidence points satisfying the different types of contractivity conditions in the framework of relational metric space have been studied in recent times. Such results have the great advantage to solve certain types of matrix equations and boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations, integral equations and fractional differential equations. This article is devoted to proving the coincidence and common fixed point theorems for a pair of mappings (T,S) employing relation-theoretic (phi,psi)-contractions in a metric space equipped with a locally finitely T-transitive relation. Our results improve, modify, enrich and unify several existing coincidence points as well as fixed point results. Several examples are provided to substantiate the utility of our results.
