  In this paper, some new unique common fixed points for four mappings satisfying Ф-contractive conditions on non-complete 2-metric spaces are obtained, in which the mappings do not satisfy continuity and commutation. The main results generalize and improve many well-known and corresponding conclusions in the literatures.

Introduction</title><p>There have appeared many unique common fixed point theorems of mappings with some contractive condition on 2-metric spaces. But most of them held under subsidiary conditions [1-3], for examples: commutativity of mappings or uniform boundness of mappings at some point, and so on. In [4-8], the author obtained similar results for infinite mappings with generalized contractive or quasi-contractive conditions under removing the above subsidiary conditions. These results generalized and improved many same type unique common fixed point theorems.</p><p>In this paper, by introducing a new class Ф, we will discuss the existence problem of unique common fixed points for four mappings with Ф-contractive type on noncomplete 2-metric spaces without any subsidiary conditions.
