Abstract

Fixed point results for generalized weak contractions under w-distance are proved using discontinuous control functions that are more relaxed than functions used in related work for metric spaces. Later, we apply our theory to coupled coincidence point problems and existence of solution of Fredholm type integral equation. We present examples to justify our claims.
