Abstract
The present paper studies some common fixed-point theorems for pairs of a single-valued and a multivalued coincidentally commuting mappings in D-metric spaces satisfying a certain generalized contraction condition. Our result generalizes more than a dozen known fixed-point theorems in D-metric spaces including those of Dhage (2000) and Rhoades (1996).
