As corollaries, the results show that the Jungck-SP and Jungck-Mann iterations can also be used to approximate the common fixed points of such operators. The results are improvements, generalizations and extensions of the work of Chugh and Kumar (2011). Consequently, several results in literature are generalized. 　　Key words: Jungck-multistep-SP iteration; Banach space; Stability; Convergence 　　It is known that the operators satisfying (1.6) are generalizations of Kannan maps (Kannan, 1969) and Chatterjea maps (Chatterjea, 1972). Zamfirescu (1972) proved that the Zamfirescu operator has a unique fixed point which can be approximated by Picard iteration (1.1). Berinde (2004) showed that Ishikawa iteration can be used to approximate the fixed point of a Zamfirescu operator when X is a Banach space while it was shown by Olareru (2006) that if X is generalised to a complete metrizable locally convex space (which includes Banach spaces), the Mann iteration can be used to approximate the fixed point of a Zamfirescu operator. Several researchers have studied the convergence rate of these iterations with respect to the Zamfirescu operators. For example, it has been shown that the Picard iteration (1.1) converges faster than the Mann iteration (1.2) when dealing with the Zamfirescu operators. For example, see Popescu (2007). It is still a subject of research as to conditions under which the Mann iteration will converge faster than the Ishikawa or vice-versa when dealing with the Zamfirescu operators. 　　Jungck was
