Introduction and preliminaries
Alber and Guerre-Delabriere [1] introduced the concept of weak contraction in Hilbert spaces. Rhoades [2] has shown that the result concluded by Alber and Guerre-Delabriere in [1] is also valid in complete metric spaces. Berinde and Berinde [3] extended weak contraction for multi-valued mappings and introduced the notion of multi-valued (θ, L)-weak contraction and multi-valued (α, L)-weak contraction. Kamran [4] extended these contractions for hybrid pair of mappings and introduced multi-valued (f, θ, L)-weak contraction and multi-valued (f,α,L)-weak contraction. Sintunavarat and Kumam [5] introduced the notion of generalized (f, α, β)-weak contraction to extend the notion of multi-valued (f, α, L)-weak contraction. They further extended the notion of generalized (f, α, β)-weak contraction by introducing hybrid generalized multi-valued contraction mappings and established a common fixed point theorem [6]. The purpose of this paper is to extend the notion of hybrid generalized multi-valued contraction and to prove common coincidence and common fixed point theorems.
Let (X, d) be a metric space. For x ∈ X and A ⊆ X, d(x, A) = inf{d(x, y): y ∈ A}. We denote by CB(X) the class of all nonempty closed and bounded subsets of X. For every A, B ∈ CB(X)
Such a map H is called Hausdorff metric induced by d. A point x ∈ X is said to be a common fixed point of f:X → X and T:X → CB(X) if x = f x ∈ T x. The point x ∈ X is said to be a coincidence point of f:X → X and T:X → CB(X) if f x ∈ T x. Some works for hybrid pair are available in [7–10].
The mappings f:X → X and T:X → CB(X) are called R-weakly commuting [11, 12] if for all x ∈ X, f T x ∈ CB(X), and there exists a positive real number R such that H(f T x, T f x) ≤ R d(f x, T x).
Lemma 1
[4] Let (X, d) be a metric space, {A k } be a sequence in C B(X), and {x k } be a sequence in X such that x k ∈ Ak−1. Let ϕ:[0, ∞) → [0, 1) be a function satisfying for every t∈ [0, ∞). Suppose to be a nonincreasing sequence such that
where n1 < n2 < …, . Then, {x k } is a Cauchy sequence in X.

Definition 2
Let (X, d) be a metric space, f, g:X → X and T:X → CB(X). A mapping S:X → CB(X) is said to be an extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction if and only if there exist two functions ϕ:[0, ∞) → [0, 1) satisfying for every t∈ [0, ∞) and φ:[0, ∞) → [0, ∞) such that

Remark 1
If f = g and T = S, then Definition 2 reduces to Definition 1.
Lemma 3
Let (X, d) be a metric space, f, g:X → X and T:X → C B(X). Let S:X → C B(X) be the extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction. Let {g x2k+1} be a g-orbit of S at x0 and {f x2k+2} be an f-orbit of T at x1 such that
for each k ∈ {0, 2, 4, 6, …}, and
for each k ∈ {1, 3, 5, …}, where y2k+1 = g x2k+1 ∈ S x2k = A2k, y2k+2 = f x2k+2 ∈ T x2k+1 = A2k+1, for each k ≥ 0. Further, n1 < n2 < … and {d(y k , yk+1)} is a nonincreasing sequence. Then, {y k } is a Cauchy sequence in X.
Proof
Let y0 = x0. Then, we construct a sequence {y k } in X, A k in CB(X) such that y2k+1 = g x2k+1 ∈ S x2k = A2k and y2k+2 = f x2k+1 ∈ T x2k+1 = A2k+1.
For k ∈ {0, 2, 4, 6, …}, it follows from the extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction that
Similarly, we show that for k = {1, 3, 5, …}, we have
By (3), for k ∈ {0, 2, 4, 6, …}, we have
Similarly, for k = {1, 3, 5, …}, we have
Given that {d(y k , yk+1)} is a nonincreasing sequence, thus, all the conditions of Lemma 1 are satisfied. Hence, {y k } is a Cauchy sequence in X. □
Theorem 1
Let (X, d) be a complete metric space, f, g:X → X, T:X → C B(X) are continuous mappings, and S:X → C B(X) is a continuous extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction such that S X ⊆ g X and T X ⊆ f X. Then, (i) if g, T and f, S are R-weakly commuting, then g, T and f, S have a common coincidence point say z. (ii) Moreover, if g g z = g z, f g z = g z, then f, g, T, and S have a common fixed point.
Proof
Let x0 be an arbitrary point in X and y0 = f x0. Then, we construct a sequence {y k } in X, A k in CB(X) respectively as follows. Since S X ⊆ g X, there exists a point x1 ∈ X such that y1 = g x1 ∈ S x0 = A0. We can choose a positive integer n1 such that
Since T X ⊆ f X, there exists y2 = f x2 ∈ T x1 = A1 such that
Using (5) and the notion of extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction in the above inequality, we have
Now, we can choose a positive integer n2 > n1 such that
There exists y3 = g x3 ∈ S x2 = A2 such that
Using (7) and the notion of extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction in the above inequality, we have
Now, we can choose a positive integer n3 > n2 such that
There exists y4 = f x4 ∈ T x3 = A3 such that
Using (9) and the notion of extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction in the above inequality, we have
Now, we can choose a positive integer n4 > n3 such that
There exists y5 = g x5 ∈ S x4 = A4 such that
Using (11) and the notion of extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction in the above inequality, we have
By repeating this process for all , we have the following: Case (i). For k ∈ {0, 2, 4, 6, …}, we can choose a positive integer nk+1 such that
There exists yk+2 = f xk+2 ∈ T xk+1 = Ak+1 such that
Using (13) and the notion of extended generalized multi-valued f contraction in the above inequality, we have
Case (ii). For k ∈ {1, 3, 5, 7, …}, we can choose a positive integer n k such that
There exists yk+2 = g xk+2 ∈ S xk+1 = Ak+1 such that
Using (15) and the notion of extended generalized multi-valued f contraction in the above inequality, we have
Hence, {d(y k ,yk+1)} is a nonincreasing sequence for each k ≥ 0. Thus, by Lemma 3, {y k } is a Cauchy sequence in X. Then, (2) ensures that {A k } is a Cauchy sequence in CB(X). As we know that if X is complete, then CB(X) is also complete. Therefore, there exist z ∈ X and A ∈ CB(X) such that y k → z and A k → A. Moreover, g x2k+1 → z and f2k+2 → z, since
It follows that z ∈ A, since A is closed. Thus, we have
As g, T and f, S are R-weakly commuting, we have
Letting k → ∞ in (18) and (19) and using (17) and the continuity of f, g, T, and S, we get
By condition (ii) of Theorem 1, we have g g z = g z, f g z = g z. Let v = g z and then we have g v = v = f v. From (2), we have
Note that f v = g z and f v ∈ T z. Hence, we have H(S v, T z) = 0, i.e., S v = T z. Again from (2), we have
Note that f v = g v and g v ∈ S v. Hence, we have H(S v, T v) = 0, i.e., S v = T v. Therefore, we have v = f v = g v ∈ S v = T v. □
Remark 2
Theorem 1 improves and extends some known results of Kamran [12], Nadler [13], Hu [14], Kaneko [15], and Mizoguchi and Takahashi [16].
Example 1
Let X = [0, ∞) be endowed with the metric
Define T, S:X → C B(X) and f, g:X → X by , S x = {0}, , and for all x ∈ X. Let and φ(t) = t for all t ≥ 0. It is easy to show that S is the extended hybrid generalized multi-valued f contraction. It is easy to check that all the conditions of Theorem 1 hold, and 0 is a common fixed point of f, g, T, and S.
