Let (X, d) be a metric space and let A, T : X → X be two mappings. In this paper, by employing certain general contractive conditions, we obtain some approximate common fixed point theorems in a b-metric space setting for the mappings A and T. Our results unify, generalize and improve the results of [22] and also, our approximate common fixed point results extend the corresponding results of [5] from the metric space to the b-metric space setting.
