1 Introduction
Fixed-point theory is a major branch of nonlinear analysis because of its wide applicability. The existence problem of fixed points of mappings satisfying a given metrical contractive condition has attracted many researchers in past few decades. The Banach contraction principle [1] is one of the most important theorems in this direction. Many generalizations of this famous principle exist in the literature, see, for examples, [2‐6] and references therein. On the other hand, several classical fixed-point theorems have been unified by considering general contractive conditions expressed by an implicit condition, see for examples, Turinici [7], Popa [8, 9], Berinde [10], and references therein.
This paper presents fixed-point theorems for implicit contractions on a metric space endowed with two metrics. This paper will be divided into two main sections. Section 2 presents local and global fixed-point results for implicit contractions involving α-admissible mappings, a recent concept introduced in [11]. Section 3 presents some interesting consequences that can be obtained from the results established in the previous section.

Let be a sequence in X such that for some , and for all n. From the definition of α, this implies that for all n. Since A and B are closed, we get . Then we have for all n. Thus, we proved that X satisfies the property (H) with respect to the metric d.
Now, from Theorem 2.4, T has a fixed point in X, that is, there exists such that . Since and , obviously, we have . □
