We introduce a cyclic generalized ψ-weakly contractive mappings for a map in a metric space and originate existence and uniqueness results of fixed points for such mappings. Examples are given to support the usability of our results. At the end of the results, an application to the study of existence and uniqueness of solutions for a class of nonlinear integral equations is presented. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
