Abstract

In this paper, we prove a fixed point theorem for a rational type contraction mapping in the frame work of metric spaces. Also, we extend Brosowski–Meinardus type results on invariant approximation for such class of contraction mappings. The results proved extend some of the known results existing in the literature.
