Fixed point theorems for compatible multi-valued and single-valued mappings

The notion of compatibility for point-to-point mappings recently defined by Jungck is generalized to include multi-valued mappings. This idea is used to establish a fixed point theorem for a generalized contractive multi-valued mapping and a single-valued mapping.
