    Some remarks on 'Multidimensional fixed point theorems for isotone mappings in partially ordered metric spaces'
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2014) Agarwal, Ravi P.; Karapinar, Erdal; Roldan-Lopez-de-Hierro, Antonio-Francisco
    The main aim of this paper is to advise researchers in the field of Fixed Point Theory against an extended mistake that can be found in some proofs. We illustrate our claim proving that theorems in the very recent paper (Wang in Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2014: 137, 2014) are incorrect, and we provide different corrected versions of them.

    Further Fixed Point Results on g-metric Spaces
    (Springer int Publ Ag, 2013) Karapinar, Erdal; Agarwal, Ravi P.
    Very recently, Samet et al. (Int. J. Anal. 2013: 917158, 2013) and Jleli-Samet (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012: 210, 2012) noticed that some fixed point theorems in the context of a G-metric space can be deduced by some well-known results in the literature in the setting of a usual (quasi) metric space. In this paper, we note that the approach of Samet et al. (Int. J. Anal. 2013: 917158, 2013) and Jleli-Samet (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012: 210, 2012) is inapplicable unless the contraction condition in the statement of the theorem can be reduced into two variables. For this purpose, we modify some existing results to suggest new fixed point theorems that fit with the nature of a G-metric space. The expressions in our result, the contraction condition, cannot be expressed in two variables, therefore the techniques used in (Int. J. Anal. 2013: 917158, 2013; Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012: 210, 2012) are not applicable.

    Remarks on some coupled fixed point theorems in G-metric spaces
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2013) Agarwal, Ravi P.; Karapinar, Erdal
    In this paper, we show that, unexpectedly, most of the coupled fixed point theorems in the context of (ordered) G-metric spaces are in fact immediate consequences of usual fixed point theorems that are either well known in the literature or can be obtained easily.

    A Note on 'coupled Fixed Point Theorems for α-ψ< Mappings in Partially Ordered Metric Spaces'
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2013) Karapinar, Erdal; Agarwal, Ravi P.
    In this paper, we show that some examples in (Mursaleen et al. in Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2012:124, 2012) are not correct. Then, we extend, improve and generalize their results. Finally, we state some examples to illustrate our obtained results.

    On an Extension of Contractivity Conditions Via Auxiliary Functions
    (Springer international Publishing Ag, 2015) Agarwal, Ravi P.; Karapinar, Erdal; Roldan-Lopez-de-Hierro, Antonio-Francisco
    In this manuscript, we study sufficient conditions on the functions that appears in very complex contractivity conditions introduced in a recent manuscript by Liu et al. in order to guarantee the existence and uniqueness of common fixed points of four self-mappings.
