Coincidences and fixed points of reciprocally continuous and compatible hybrid maps

It is proved that a pair of reciprocally continuous and nonvacuously compatible single-valued and multivalued maps on a metric space possesses a coincidence. Besides addressing two historical problems in fixed point theory, this result is applied to obtain new general coincidence and fixed point the...

Description
Summary:It is proved that a pair of reciprocally continuous and nonvacuously compatible single-valued and multivalued maps on a metric space possesses a coincidence. Besides addressing two historical problems in fixed point theory, this result is applied to obtain new general coincidence and fixed point theorems for single-valued and multivalued maps on metric spaces under tight minimal conditions.
