Abstract

The aim of this work is to define the notion of compatible random operators in a partially ordered metric space and prove some coupled random coincidence theorems for a pair of compatible mixed monotone random operators satisfying <a onClick="popup('http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/257/mathml/M1','MathML',630,470);return false;" target="_blank" href="http://www.journalofinequalitiesandapplications.com/content/2012/1/257/mathml/M1">View MathML</a>-weak contractive conditions. These results present random versions and extensions of recent results of Ćirić and Lakshmikantham (Stoch. Anal. Appl. 27:1246-1259, 2009), Choudhury and Kundu (Nonlinear Anal. 73:2524-2531, 2010), Alotaibi and Alsulami (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2011:44, 2011) and many others.
