COMMON FIXED POINT THEOREMS FOR A WEAK DISTANCE IN COMPLETE METRIC SPACES JEONG SHEOK UME and SUCHEOL YI Received 17 October 2001 Using the concept of a w -distance, we obtain common fixed point theorems on complete metric spaces. Our results generalize the corresponding theorems of Jungck, Fisher, Dien, and Liu. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47H10. 1. Introduction. In 1976, Caristi [ 1] proved a fixed point theorem in a complete metric space which generalizes the Banach contraction principle. This theorem is very useful and has many applications. Later, Dien [ 3] showed that a pair of mappings satisfying both the Banach contraction principle and Caristi’s condition in a complete metric space has a common fixed point. That is to say, let (X,d) be a complete metric space and let S and T be two orbitally continuous mappings of X into itself. Suppose that there exists a finite number of functions {ϕi }1≤i≤N0 of X into R+ such that N0 d(Sx,T y) ≤ q ·d(x,y) + ϕ (x) −ϕ (Sx) +ϕ (y) −ϕ (T y) (1.1) i i i i i=1 for all x,y ∈ X and some q ∈ [0, 1). Then S and T have a unique common fixed point z in X . Further, if x ∈ X then Snx → z and Tnx → z as n → ∞. In particular, if S is an identity mapping, q = 0, and N0 = 1, then this means a Caristi’s fixed point theorem. Recently, Liu [7] obtained necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of fixed point of continuous self-mapping by using the ideas of Jungck [ 5] and Dien [3]: let f be a continuous self-mapping of a metric space (X,d), th
