Chidume The existence of common fixed points is established for the mappings where T is f 0 L -weak contraction on a nonempty subset of a Banach space. As application some results on the invariant best approximation are proved. Our results unify and substantially improve several recent results given by some authors. Copyright 2009 N. Hussain and Y.

Introduction and Preliminaries Let M be a subset of a normed space X II II . The set PM u x e M x - u dist u M is called the set of best approximants to u e X out of M where dist u M inf lly - u y e M . We denote N and cl M resp. wcl M by the set of positive integers and the closure resp. weak closure of a set M in X respectively. Let f T M M be mappings. The set of fixed points of T is denoted by F T . A point x e M is a coincidence point resp. common fixed point of f and T if fx Tx resp. x fx Tx . The set of coincidence points of f and T is denoted by C f T . 2 Journal of Inequalities and Applications The pair f T is said to be 1 commuting 1 if Tfx fTx for all x e M 2 compatible 2 3 if limn .xJITfXn - fTxn 0whenever xn is a sequence such that limn Txn limn fxn t for some t in M 3 weakly compatible if they
