Abstract: We establish fixed point theorems for nonlinear contractions on a metric space (not essentially complete) endowed with an arbitrary binary relation. Our results extend, generalize, modify and unify several known results especially those contained in Samet and Turinici [Commun. Math. Anal. 13, 82-97 (2012)] and Alam and Imdad [J. Fixed Point Theory Appl. 17(4), 693-702 (2015)]. Interestingly a corollary to one of our main results proved under symmetric closure of any binary relation remains a sharpened version of a theorem due to Samet and Turinici. Finally, we use examples to highlight the realized improvements in the results proved in this paper.

Key Words and Phrases: Complete metric spaces, binary relations, contraction mappings, fixed point.
