In this article, we introduce a new class of non-self mappings, called weak proximal contractions, which contains the proximal contractions as a subclass. Existence and uniqueness results of a best proximity point for weak proximal contractions are obtained. Also, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of common best proximity points for two non-self mappings in metric spaces having...

the aim of this paper is to prove some common fixed point theorems for four  mappings satisfying $(psi,varphi)$-weak contractions involving rational expressions in ordered partial metric spaces. our results extend, generalize and improve some well-known results in the literature. also, we give two examples to illustrate our results.

In this paper, following [W.A. Kirk, P.S. Srinivasan, P. Veeramani, Fixed points for mappings satisfying cyclical contractive conditions, Fixed Point Theory. 4 (2003) 79-89], we give a fixed point result for cyclic weak φ-contractions on partial metric space. A Maia type fixed point theorem for cyclic weak φ-contractions is also given.

In this paper, we describe some topological properties of dualistic partial metric spaces and establish some fixed point theorems for weak contraction mappings of rational type defined on dual partial metric spaces. These results are generalizations of some existing results in the literature. Moreover, we present examples to illustrate our result.

Uterine contractile activity in nonpregnant conscious dogs was investigated based on 2- to 6-mo-long continuous recording by means of a chronically implanted force transducer. We found that nonpregnant uterine contractile activity could be classified into six major patterns: sporadic contractions, weak and strong tonic contractions, weak and strong phasic contractions, and phasic contraction bu...
