Coupled fixed point‎, ‎$F$-invariant set and fixed point of $N$-order

Abstract

‎In this paper‎, ‎we establish some new coupled fixed point theorems in complete metric spaces‎, ‎using a new concept of $F$-invariant set‎. ‎We introduce the notion of fixed point of $N$-order as natural extension of that of coupled fixed point‎. ‎As applications‎, ‎we discuss and adapt the presented results to the setting of partially ordered cone metric spaces‎. ‎The presented results extend and complement some known existence results from the literature‎.
