In particular, our result generalizes and improves a result of K. Jha, R.P. Pant, S.L. Singh, by removing the assumption of continuity, relaxing compatibility to weakly compatibility property and replacing the completeness of the space with a set of four alternative conditions for maps satisfying an implicit relation. Also, our result improves the main result of H. Bouhadjera, A. Djoudi.
