Lakshmikantham and Lj. B. Ciri´c insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( ´ Coupled fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractions in partially ordered metric spaces, Nonlinear Analysis 70, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2009); 4341–4349, 2009); introduced the concept of a coupled coincidence point of a mapping F from X ×X into X and a mapping g from X into X. In the present paper, we prove a coupled coincidence fixed point theorem in the setting of a generalized metric space in the sense of Z. Mustafa and B. Sims.
