Abstract
Some new common fixed point theorems for Gregus type contraction map**s have been obtained in convex metric spaces. As applications, invariant approximation results for these types of map**s are obtained. The proved results generalize, unify and extend some of the known results of M.A. Al-Thagafi (Int. J. Math. Sci. 18:613–616, 1995; J. Approx. Theory 85:318–323, 1996), M.A. Al-Thagafi and N. Shahzad (Nonlinear Anal. 64:2778–2786, 2006), L. Ćirić (Publ. Inst. Math. 49:174–178, 1991; Arch. Math.
