Rhoades (1996) proved a fixed point theorem in a bounded D-metric space for a contractive self-map with applications. Here we establish a more general fixed point theorem in an unbounded D-metric space, for two self-maps satisfying a general contractive condition with a restricted domain of x and y. This has been done by using the notion of semicompatible maps in D-metric space. These results generalize and improve the results of Rhoades (1996), Dhage et al. (2000), and Veerapandi and Rao (1996). These results also underline the necessity and importance of semicompatibility in fixed point theory of D-metric spaces. All the results of this paper are new
