A coincident point and common fixed point theorem for weakly compatible mappings in partial metric spaces

In this paper, we prove the existence of a coincident point and a common fixed point for two self mappings defined on a complete partial metric space (X). We will consider generalized cyclic representation of the set (X) with respect to the two self maps defined on (X) and a contractive condition involving a generalized distance altering function. Our results generalizes several corresponding results in the existing literature.
