We used compatible and absorbing mappings to prove theorems which also include (E.A.) property. 1. Introduction and New Definitions In 1995, Cho et al. [1] introduced the concept of semicompatibility and obtained the first result that established a situation in which a collection of mappings has a fixed point. They defined a pair of self-maps to be semicompatible if(a) and(b) . For some , implying holds. Singh and Jain [2] observe that (b) implies (a). Hence they defined the semicompatibility by condition (b) only. Let be a metric space and let and be two maps from into itself. and are commuting maps if for all in . To generalize the notion of commuting maps, Sessa [3] introduced the concept of weakly commuting maps. He defines and as being weakly commuting if for all . Obviously, commuting maps are weakly commuting but the converse is not true. In 1986, Jungck [4] gave more generalized commuting and weakly commuting maps called compatible maps. and are called compatible if Whenever is a sequence in such that for some , clearly, weakly commuting maps are compatible, but the implication is not reversible (see [4]). Afterwards, Jungck et al. [5] made another generalization of weakly commuting maps by introducing the concept of compatible maps of type ( ). Previous and are said to be compatible of type ( ) if in place of (1) we have the two following conditions: It is clear to see that weakly commuting maps are compatible of type ( ); from [5] it follows that the implication is not reversible. Two self-maps and of metric space are called -compatible ([6] cited from [7]) if , whenever is a sequence in such that for some in . Similarly, two self-maps and of metric space are called -compatible ([6] cited from [7]) if , whenever is a sequence in such that for some in . Two self-mappings and of a metric space are called weakly commuting [8] at a point in if for some . The two self-maps and of a metric space are called weakly commuting of type [9] if there exists some positive real number such that for all in . The two self-maps and of a metric space are called weakly commuting of type [9] if there exists some positive real number such that for all in . It may be noted that compatible mappings and can be weakly commuting of types and . Let and be two self-maps of metric space ; then will be called -absorbing [10] if there exists %U http://www.hindawi.com/journals/cjm/2014/618965/
