Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concept of a mixed weakly monotone pair of mappings and prove some coupled common fixed point theorems for a contractive-type mappings with the mixed weakly monotone property in partially ordered metric spaces. Our results are generalizations of the main results of Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham and Kadelburg et al.
