Sufficient conditions for the existence of a common fixed point of generalized f -weakly con- tractive noncommuting mappings are derived. As applications, some results on the set of best approximation for this class of mappings are obtained. The proved results generalize and extend various known results in the literature. 1. Introduction and Preliminaries It is well known that Banach’s fixed point theorem for contraction mappings is one of the pivotal result of analysis. Let X, d be a metric space. A mapping T : X → X is said to be contraction if there exists 0 ≤ k 1 such that for all x, y ∈ X, d Tx, Ty ≤ kd x, y . 1.1 If the metric space X, d is complete, then the mapping satisfying 1.1 has a unique fixed point. A natural question is that whether we can find contractive conditions which will imply existence of fixed point in a com
