ABSTRACT
In this work, we recall definition of functions called as C-class and use the concepts of dislocated metric, b-dislocated metric, altering distance function. We prove some coincidence, fixed and common fixed point results for two pairs of weakly compatible mappings under -contractive conditions and contractive conditions depended on another function T. Our theorems extend and generalize related results in the literature.

1. Introduction
The study of metric fixed point theory in dislocated metric spaces was considered by P. Hitzler and A. K. Seda in [1] who introduced this metric as a generalization of usual metric, and generalized the Banach contraction principle on this space. Since then a lot of papers have been written on this topic treating the problem of existence and uniqueness of fixed points for mappings satisfying different contractive conditions, see [2] - [14] . N. Hussain et al. in [15] introduced the b-dislocated metric spaces associated with some topological aspects and properties. These spaces can be seen as generalizations of dislocated metric spaces and also as generalization of b-metric space introduced by Bakhtin in [16] and extensively used by Czerwik in [8] . Recently, there are many papers on existence and uniqueness of fixed point and common fixed point for one, two or more mappings under different types of contractive conditions in the setting of dislocated spaces and b-dislocated metric spaces.
Since altering distance functions were introduced by Khan et al. in [17] , the study of the existence of fixed points of contractive maps in metric spaces and generalized metric spaces has a lot of interest for many authors which are based on this category of functions (see [17] - [23] ). In September 2014, a class of functions called as C-class is presented by A. H. Ansari, see in [24] [25] and is important, see example 2.15.
The present paper is organized in two sections. Using concepts mentioned above, in the first section, we develop some coincidence and common fixed point theorems (existence and uniqueness) for two pairs of weakly compatible mappings in the framework of -dislocated metric space, using weak generalized contractive conditions. In the second section, we prove common fixed point theorems for a pair of mappings using generalized contractive condition and the concept of T-contractions. The related results generalize and improve various theorems in recent literature.
2. Preliminaries
Consistent with [1] and [15] , the following definitions, notations, basic lemma and remarks will be needed in the sequel.
Definition 2.1 [1] Let X be a nonempty set and a mapping is called a dislocated metric (or simply -metric) if the following conditions hold for any :
1) If , then
2)
3)
The pair is called a dislocated metric space (or d-metric space for short). Note that for , may not be 0.
Definition 2.2 [15] Let X be a nonempty set and a mapping is called a b-dislocated metric (or simply -dislocated metric) if the following conditions hold for any and :
1) If , then
2)
3)
The pair is called a b-dislocated metric space. And the class of b-dislocated metric space is larger than that of dislocated metric spaces, since a b-dislocated metric is a dislocated metric when .
Example 2.3 If , then defines a dislocated metric on X.
Definition 2.4 [1] A sequence in -metric space is called:
1) a Cauchy sequence if, for given , there exists such that for all , we have or ;
2) convergent with respect to if there exists such that as . In this case, x is called the limit of and we write .
A -metric space X is called complete if every Cauchy sequence in X converges to a point in X.
In [15] , it was shown that each -metric on X generates a topology whose base is the family of open -balls .
Also in [15] , there are presented some topological properties of -metric spaces.
Definition 2.5 [15] Let be a -metric space, and be a sequence of points in X. A point is said to be the limit of the sequence if and we say that the sequence is -convergent to x and denote it by as .
The limit of a -convergent sequence in a -metric space is unique ( [15] , Proposition 1.27).
Definition 2.6 [15] A sequence in a -metric space is called a -Cauchy sequence if, given , there exists such that for all , we have or . Every -convergent sequence in a -metric space is a -Cauchy sequence.
Remark 2.7 The sequence in a -metric space is called a -Cauchy sequence if for all .
Definition 2.8 [15] A -metric space is called complete if every -Cauchy sequence in X is -convergent.
Example 2.9 If , then defines a b-dislocated metric on X with parameter .
Example 2.10 Let and any constant . Define function by . Then, the pair is a dislocated metric space.
If for some , then x is called the coincidence point of F and S. Furthermore, if the mappings commute at each coincidence point, then such mappings are called weakly compatible [4] .
Definition 2.11 [17] The altering distances functions and are defined as
The following lemmas are used to prove our results.
Lemma 2.12 Let be a b-dislocated metric space with parameter . Then
1) If then ;
2) If is a sequence such that , then we have
;
3) If , then ;
Proof. It is clear.
Lemma 2.13 [15] Let be a b-dislocated metric space with parameter . Suppose that and are -convergent to , respectively. Then we have
In particular, if , then we have . Moreover, for each , we have
In particular, if , then we have .
Definition 2.14. [24] [25] We say that a function is called a C-class function if it is continuous and satisfies the following properties.
We denote C-class functions as C.
Example 2.15 [24] [25] The following functions are elements of C, for all :
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
For , we have
6)
7)
8)
9) , here is continuous and such that and for .
3. Main Results
Before we give the main result we denote with letter
the following set
(3.1.1)
for all
.
Motivated by the works of [15] [21] - [29] we extend the concept of
-weakly contractive maps to four maps in a b-dislocated metric space, giving the following definition.
Definition 3.1 Let
be four self maps of a b-dislocated metric space
with parameter
. If there exists
,
and
such that
(A)
for all
, where
is defined as in (3.1.1) then
and T are said to satisfy a generalized
weakly contractive condition.
Theorem 3.2 Let
be a b-dislocated metric space with parameter
and
are self-mappings such that (a)









Proof. Let 










We consider following steps:
Step 1. If 




Thus 
Using condition (A) and property of C-class, we have that
By property of 

As a result we get,

Again from contractive condition of theorem have,
The inequality above implies,
By property of function f of C-class we obtain


And also by property of 




Step 2. Suppose 

If 

Also from condition of theorem we have:
By property of function 

From (3.2.3) and (3.2.4) we get

Also from condition of theorem and (3.2.5) we have,
The above inequality implies:
which means

From property of C-class we obtain

So we have 

So we have
In a similar way as above we have
the sequence 


Suppose that



If we consider condition (A) we have,

taking the upper limit as 

From (3.2.8) and property of 


Now we prove that 




find subsequences 





and 
From property c) of definition 2.2 we have:

Taking the upper limit as 

Also we have

Hence taking the upper limit in above inequality, we obtain

Again from property c) of definition 2.2, we have

Thus from 3.2.9; 3.2.15 we have

As a result,

Similarly,

Taking the upper limit in (3.2.19) and using 3.2.9, we get

Similarly,
Taking the upper limit in above inequality and using (3.2.9), we have

Also,
Taking the upper limit and using 3.2.9; 3.2.18 we get

So, by (3.2.21) and (3.2.22) we have

According to the set (3.1.1) we have:

Taking the upper limit in (3.2.24) and using results 3.2.9; 3.2.18; 3.2.13; 3.2.23 we get

Similarly, we can show,

From contractive condition of theorem, we have

Taking the upper limit as 
From this inequality and since 

That is a contradiction since we supposed














Since



Taking the upper limit and using lemma 2.13, result (3.2.9) and (3.2.28) we obtain

Using contractive condition (A) of theorem we have,

Taking the upper limit in (3.2.31) and using (3.2.30) we get
This implies 



Similarly we can show that


Let show that z is a unique point of coincidence of pairs 



We consider,
Using contractive condition of theorem we have,
The inequality above implies that 

Let prove that z is a common fixed point. By the weak compatibility of the pairs 



From condition of theorem we have,

This inequality implies
And

Again from (3.2.33) and (3.2.34) we get,
By property of functions 

So we obtained


Let we prove that z is a fixed point of F.
Again we consider
By property of 

where

From (3.2.36), (3.2.37) we get

In similar way as in (3.2.35) using (3.2.38), property of C-class and functions 


Uniqueness. Let we prove that the fixed point is unique. If suppose that u and z are two common fixed points of F, G, S, T then from condition (b) we have,
By property of 

So,
and
As a result 

The following is corollary of theorem 3.2 which is taken for parameter 
Corollary 3.3 Let 







for all








Now we give an example to support our Theorem 3.2.
Example 3.4 Let 

is a b-dislocated metric space with parameter


and 

We have,
where



Thus all conditions of theorem 3.2 are satisfied and 

In a similar way as in Theorem 3.2, the following theorem can be proved.
Theorem 3.5 Let 











For the different functions f of C-class (refer to example 2.15) we can take the following corollaries.
Corollary 3.6 Let 






for all








Proof. If we take in Theorem 3.2 the function f as 
Corollary 3.7 Let 






for all








Proof. This corollary is obtained from Theorem 3.2 if we take as f the function

Corollary 3.8 Let 






for all








Proof. If we take in Theorem 3.2 the function f as 
Corollary 3.9 Let 






for all








Proof. If we take in Theorem 3.2 the function f as 
Remark 3.10 As a consequence of theorem 3.2 and all corollaries for taking
1) the parameter
2) the parameter 


3) functions f from the set C and taking 

We can establish many other corollaries in the setting of dislocated and b-dislocated metric spaces.
4) Our results unify, generalize, and extend several ones obtained earlier in a lot of papers concerning b-metric, dislocated and b-dislocated metric spaces (as in references [13] [15] [25] [26] [30] [31] ).
In this section, we use the notion of T-contractions introduced by Beiranvad et al. in [3] as a new class of contractive mappings, by generalizing the contractive condition in terms of another function. These contractions have been used by many authors. In this direction in order to generalize some other well-known results as in [32] [33] [34] we extend the notion of 
Theorem 3.11 Let 







for all
then 
Proof. We divide the proof into two parts as follows.
First part. Each fixed point u of F is a fixed point of G and conversely, and the common fixed point of 
Let 




So we have

Then by contractive condition (B), we have
By property of 

Hence from (3.11.1) and (3.11.2) follows
Again
By property of 



Thus u is a fixed point of G. Similarly we can prove the other implication.
Second part. We prove that the function F has a fixed point. We define two eterative sequences 





If for some n, we have 



Now, we assume that 

where

If 

Using condition (B) and property of C-class, we have
By property of function 

From (3.11.4) and (3.11.5) we get

Also from condition of theorem and (3.11.6), we have
Also we have,
By property of 




Hence, we have

Similarly, we have that
Therefore for all n we have
and 
and bounded below. Hence there exists 
By the property of functions 


If we consider condition (B) we have,

Taking the upper limit as 

From (3.11.9) and property of 



In a similar way as in Theorem 3.2 we can show that the sequence 









Since T is continuous we have
Let we prove that u is a fixed point of F and G (



Consider,

Taking the upper limit in (3.11.11) and using lemma (2.13), and result (3.11.10) we get

According to contractive condition (B) we have,

Taking the upper limit in (3.11.13) and using lemma (2.13), we obtain,
This implies that 


Easily using the contractive condition (B) of theorem can be proved that the common fixed point is unique.
Example 3.12 Let 






If



Thus 


If in theorem3.11 we take 
Corollary 3.13 Let 





for all
then G has a unique fixed point.
Corollary 3.14 Let 





for all
then 
Proof. If we take in Theorem 3.11 the function 

Remark 3.15
1) Theorem 3.11 generalizes, extends and unifies results as Theorem 8 in [32] , Theorem 4 in [33] and many existing results of literature in a set effective larger as b-dislocated metric spaces.
2) The class C of functions has a general character and so according to example 2.15, we can provide many results from theorem 3.11.
3) If we take in theorem 3.11 the parameter
