Abstract
In this paper we established a fixed point and a unique common fixed point theorems in four pair of weakly
compatible self-mappings in complete metric spaces satisfy weakly compatibility of contractive modulus.

Introduction
The concept of the commutativity has generalised in several ways .In 1998, Jungck Rhoades [3] introduced the
notion of weakly compatible and showed that compatible maps are weakly compatible but conversely. Brian
Fisher [1] proved an important common fixed point theorem. Seesa S [9] has introduced the concept of weakly
commuting and Gerald Jungck [2] initiated the concept of compatibility. It can be easily verified that when the
two mappings are commuting then they are compatible but not conversely. Thus the study of common fixed
point of mappings satisfying contractive type condition have been a very active field of research activity during
the last three decades.
In 1922 the polished mathematician, Banach, proved a theorem ensures, under appropriate conditions, the
existence and uniqueness of a fixed point. His result is called Banach fixed point theorem or the Banach
contraction principle. This theorem provides a technique for solving a variety of a applied problems in a
mathematical science and engineering. Many authors have extended, generalized and improved Banach fixed
point theorem in a different ways. Jungck [2] introduced more generalised commuting mappings, called
compatible mappings, which are more general than commuting and weakly commuting mappings.
The main purpose of this paper is to present fixed point results for two pair of four self maps satisfying a new
contractive modulus condition by using the concept of weakly compatible maps in complete metric spaces.
Preliminaries
The definition of complete metric spaces and other results that will be needed are:
Definition 1: Let f and g two self-maps on a set X. Maps f and g are said to be commuting if
= .
Definition 2: Let f and g two self-maps on a set X. If = , ℎ called coincidence
point of f and g.
Definition 3: Let f and g two self-maps defined on a set X, then f and g are said to be compatible if they
commute at coincidence points. That is, if = , ℎ = .
Definition 4: Let f and g be two weakly compatible self-maps defined on a set X, If f and g have a unique point
of coincidence, that is, = = , ℎ .
Definition 5: A sequence in a metric space , ! ,
denoted by lim →& = , lim →& , = 0.
Definition 6: A sequence in a metric space , ( ℎ)
lim
*→&
, + = 0 , > .
Definition 7: A metric space , ( every Cauchy sequence in X is convergent.
Definition 8: A function -: /0, ∞ → /0, ∞ !
-: /0, ∞ → /0, ∞ - < > 0 .
Definition 9: A real valued function φ defined on RX ⊆ is said to be upper semi continuous
lim
→&
- ≤ - , ! ) ℎ → → ∞ .
Hence it is clear that every continuous function is upper semi continuous but converse may not true.

MAIN RESULT
In this section we established a common fixed point theorem for two pairs of weakly compatible mappings in
complete metric spaces using a contractive modulus.
Theorem 1: Let (X,d) be a complete metric space. Suppose that the mapping E, F, G and H are four self maps
of X satisfying the following condition:
(i) 3 ⊆ 5 6 ⊆ 7
(ii) 869, 3:; ≤ - < , )
Where - is a upper semi continuous, contractive modulous and

Since - is an upper semi continuous contractive modulus, Equation (1) implies that the sequence ) , ) OC

Hence there exists a real number, say ≥ 0 ℎ ℎ lim →& ) , ) OC =

Now we show that ) is a Cauchy sequence.
