In some recent papers, a method was developed of reducing coupled xed point
problems in (ordered) metric and various generalized metric spaces to the respective results
for mappings with one variable. In this paper, we apply the mentioned method and obtain
some coupled xed point results for mappings satisfying '-weak contractive conditions in
ordered b-metric spaces. Examples show how these results can be used. Finally, an appli-
cation to nonlinear Fredholm integral equations is presented, illustrating the e ectiveness of
our generalizations.
