Conditionally Compatible Mappings, Non-Compatible Mappings, Faintly Compatible Mappings and Some Results on Common Fixed Point in $C^*$-Algebra Valued Metric Space by Rishi Dhariwal, Deepak Kumar

“…Additionally, the manuscript establishes fixed-point results for certain combinations of these mappings. Specifically, it considers pairs of self-mappings that satisfy either a $(\phi-\psi)$-Kannan-type or Chatterjea-type contractive condition and proves common fixed point theorems for faintly compatible continuous or reciprocal continuous along with non-compatible pairs of such mappings. …”
