  In this paper, first we introduce notions of (
  α
  , 
  Ψ)-contractive and (
  α)-admissible for a pair of map and prove a coupled coincidence point theorem for compatible mappings using these notions. Our work extends and generalizes the results of Mursaleen et al. [1]. At the end, we will provide an example in support of our result.

Introduction</title><p>Fixed point theorems give the conditions under which maps have solutions.</p><p>Fixed point theory is a beautiful mixture of Analysis, Topology and Geometry. Fixed points Theory has been playing a vital role in the study of nonlinear phenomena. In particular, fixed point techniques have been applied in diverse fields as Biology, Chemistry, and Economics, Engineering, Game theory and Physics. The usefulness of the concrete applications has increased enormously due to the development of accurate techniques for computing fixed points.</p><p>The fixed point theory has many important applications in numerical methods like Newton-Raphson Method and establishing Picard’s Existence Theorem regarding existence and uniqueness of solution of first order differential equation, existence of solution of integral equations and a system of linear equations. The credit of making the concept of fixed point theory useful and popular goes to polish mathematician Stefan Banach. In 1922, Banachproved a fixed point theorem, which ensures the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point under appropriate conditions. This result of Banach is known as Banach fixed point theoremor contraction mapping principle, “Let x be any non empty set and <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/23-7402755x5.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> be a completemetric space If T is mapping of X into itself satisfying <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/23-7402755x6.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> for each <inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/23-7402755x7.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula> where<inline-formula><inline-graphic xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/23-7402755x8.png" xlink:type="simple"/></inline-formula>, then T has a unique fixed point in X”. This principle provides a technique for solving a variety of applied problems in Mathematical sciences and Engineering and guarantees the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of certain self maps of metric spaces and provides a constructive method to find out fixed points. Now the question arise what type of problems have the fixed point. The fixed point problems can be elaborated in the following manner:</p><p>1) What functions/maps have a fixed point?</p><p>2) How do we determine the fixed point?</p><p>3) Is the fixed point unique?</p><p>Currently, fixed point theory has been receiving much attention on in partially ordered metric spaces; that is, metric spaces endowed with a partial ordering. Turinici [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref2">2</xref>] extending the Banach contraction principle in the setting of partially ordered sets and laid the foundation a new trend in fixed point theory. Ran and Reurings [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref3">3</xref>] developed some applications of Turinici’s theorem to matrix equations and established some results in this direction. The results were further extended by Nieto and Rodŕguez-Ĺpez [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref4">4</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref5">5</xref>] for non-decreasing mappings. Bhaskar and Lakshmikantham [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref6">6</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref7">7</xref>] introduced the new notion of coupled fixed points for the mappings satisfying the mixed monotone property in partially ordered spaces and discussed the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a periodic boundary value problem. Later on, Lakshmikantham and Cir&#237;c [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref8">8</xref>] proved coupled coincidence and coupled common fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractive mappings in partially ordered complete metric spaces.</p><p>Choudhury and Kundu [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref9">9</xref>] , proved the coupled coincidence result for compatible mappings in the settings of partially ordered metric space. Recently, Samet et al. [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref10">10</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref11">11</xref>] have introduced the notion of α-ψ-contractive and α-admissible mapping and proved fixed point theorems for such mappings in complete metric spaces. For more results regarding coupled fixed points in various metric spaces one can refer to [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref12">12</xref>] -[<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.58448-ref23">23</xref>] .</p><p>In this paper, we will generalize the results of Mursaleen et al.
