The existence of common fixed points is established for the mappings where T is asymptotically f -pseudo-contraction on a nonempty subset of a Banach space. As applications, the invariant best simultaneous approximation and strong convergence results are proved. Presented results are generalizations of very recent fixed point and approximation theorems of Khan and Akbar 2009 , Chen and Li 2007 ...
