Abstract
We introduce the notion of compatibility for a pair of self-maps
on a 2-metric space and we have fixed point theorems for pairs
as well as quadruples of self-maps on a 2-metric space satisfying certain generalised contraction conditions. Further
metric space versions of the same have also been obtained.
