A common fixed point theorem for compatible quasi contractive self mappings in metric spaces

A common fixed point theorem for weakly commuting quasi contractive self mappings with contracting orbital diameters in metric spaces [V. Berinde, A common fixed point theorem for quasi contractive type mappings, Ann. Univ. Sci. Budapest. 46 (2003) 81–90] is extended to the more general class of compatible quasi contractive self mappings. Our result does extend and generalize numerous related results in literature.
