Amer. Math. Soc. 20(1969), 458-464) and Jotic (Indian J. Pure Appl. Math. 26(1995), 947-952) fixed point theorems. Also, our results extend several other well-known fixed point theorems such as: Alam and Imdad (J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 17(2015), no 4, 693-702) and Karapinar and Roldán-López-de-Hierro (J. Inequal. Appl. 2014:522(2014), 12 pages) besides some others. Key Words and Phrases: ℜ-continuity; locally T-transitive binary relations; φ-contractions; ℜ-connected sets; fixed point. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47H10, 54H25.
