Fixed Point Theorems for Weakly Contractive Mappings in Ordered Metric Spaces with an Application

In this paper,we prove fixed point theorem for weakly contractive mappings using locally T-transitivity of binary relation and presenting an analogous version of Harjani and Sadarangani theorem involving more general relation theoretic metrical notions.Our fixed point results under universal relation reduces to Harjani and Sadarangani[Nonlinear Anal.,71(2009),3403-3410]fixed point theorems.In this way we also generalize some of the recent fixed point theorems for weak contraction in the existing literature.
