Abstract

Several common fixed point theorems for a few contractive type mappings in complete metric spaces are established. As applications, the existence and uniqueness of common solutions for certain systems of functional equations arising in dynamic programming are discussed.

Keywords: common fixed point, continuous mapping, complete metric space, system of functional equations, common solution, dynamic programming
