Introduction In this paper we discuss some common fixed point theorems for three self mappings on a quasi-gauge space which extend the results for a metric space in [1], [2], [4] and [5]. We need the concepts of quasi-gauge space, P-Cauchy sequence, Sequential completeness as in [6] and [8]. A quasi-pseudometric on a set X is a non-negative real valued function on X x X such that for any 2, y, zin X . (2,2) = 0 and p(z,y) < p(z,z) + r(z,y). A quasi-gauge structure for a topological space (X,T’) is a family P of quasi-pseudometrics on X such that T has as a subbase family {B(z,p,£) : aeéX, pe P, € > 0} where B(z,p,e) is the set {y € X : p(z,y) < E}. 23 24 J. Antony, P. V. Subrahmanyam If a topological space has a quasi-gauge structure, it is called a quasi-gauge space. The sequence {zp} in a quasi-gauge space is called left (right) P-Cauchy sequence if for each p € P and each e > 0 there is a point in X and an integer k such that p(z,2m) < €, (p(2m,2) < €) for all m > k. (a and k may depend upon ¢ and p.) A quasi-gauge space is left (right) sequentially complete if every left (right) P-Cauchy sequence in X converges to some element of X. We prove the following result. Theorem 1. Let T and I be commuting mappings and let T and J be com- muting mappings of a left (right) sequentially complete quasi-gauge To space satisfying the inequality for each p in P. Plz, Jy), p(lz,Tz), p(Jy,Ty), } P(Iz,Ty), p(Jy, Tz) for all z, y in X whereQ 0 as n — 00 for each p in P, then T, I and J have a unique common fixed point z. Proof. Let xo be an arbitrary point in X , define a sequence {z,,} inductively by choosing Ttn-1 = [ty = Sty, n= 1,2. Let us now suppose that set of real numbers {p(Tzn,T21),p(T21,T2n)} is unbounded. Then there exists an integer n such that (1-C) max{p(T2,,T21),p(T21,T2n)} > Cmax{p(Lx1, 729), p(T20, T21)} 9 P(T2n,T 21), W(Tx,,T 29), p(E20,T2,) } @) max { p(T21,T2,) $7 ™* O Cmac{ Mee peor toote”) b We now prove by induction that P(T2,,T21), k Fa max { MTer Tay) fOr Ten Ts) 1 S148 St} for k = 1,2,...
