One of the main problems in the theory of fuzzy topological spaces is to obtain an appropriate and consistent notion of a fuzzy metric space. Many authors have investigated this question and several notions of a fuzzy metric space have been defined and studied.Some common fixed point theorems in complete fuzzy metric spaces are proved which generalize earlier results. We also introduce the concept of R-weak commutatively of type (P) in fuzzy metric spaces. Some related results and illustrative examples are also discussed.In this paper, we state and prove some common fixed point theorems in fuzzy metric spaces. These theorems generalize and improve known results.
