Abstract
The aim of this paper is to prove some common fixed point theorems for certain nonlinear mappings satisfying rational contractive conditions in modular metric spaces. Our results extend, generalize and includes many known results as special cases in the framework of modular metric spaces. Furthermore, we apply our results in finding solutions of nonlinear integral equation of Urysohn type.
