Abstract: In this paper, we establish common fixed point theorems for two weakly compatible self-mappings satisfying the contractive condition or the quasicontractive condition in the case of a quasi-contractive constant λ ∈ (0, 1/s) in cone b-metric spaces without the normal cone, where the coefficient s satisfies s ≥ 1. The main results generalize, extend and unify several well-known comparable results in the literature. Keywords: common fixed point; weakly compatible self-mappings; (quasi)contractive condition; cone b-metric space

Introduction and preliminaries

Huang and Zhang [1] introduced the concept of a cone metric space, proved the properties of sequences on cone metric spaces and obtained various fixed point theorems for contractive mappings. The existence of a common fixed point on cone metric spaces was considered recently in [2-5]. Also, Ilic and Rakocevic [6] introduced a quasi-contraction on a cone metric space when the underlying cone was normal. Later on, Kadelburg et al. obtained a few similar results without the normality of the underlying cone, but only in the case of a quasi-contractive constant λ ∈ (0, 1/2). However, Gajic [7] proved that result is true for λ ∈ (0, 1) on a cone metric space by a new way, which answered the open question whether the result is true for λ ∈ (0, 1). Recently, Hussain and Shah [8] introduced cone b-metric spaces, as a generalization of b-metric spaces and cone metric spaces, and ∗
