Abstract

Weak commutativity of a pair of maps was introduced by Sessa [On a weak commutativity condition of mappings in fixed point considerations. Publ. Inst. Math. (Beograd) (N.S.) 32(40) (1982),149-153] in fixed point considerations. Thereafter a number of generalizations of this notion has been obtained. The purpose of this paper is to present a brief development of weaker forms of commuting maps, and to obtain two fixed point theorems for noncommuting and noncontinuous maps on noncomplete metric spaces.
