### General Common Fixed Point Theorems and Applications

#### Abstract

The main result is a common fixed point theorem for a pair of multivalued maps on a complete metric space extending a recent result of $\text{Đ}$orić and Lazović (2011) for a multivalued map on a metric space satisfying Ćirić-Suzuki-type-generalized contraction. Further, as a special case, we obtain a generalization of an important common fixed point theorem of Ćirić (1974). Existence of a common solution for a class of functional equations arising in dynamic programming is also discussed.
