1 Introduction and preliminaries
Mathematical models are very powerful and important parts of the mathematical anal-ysis with numerous applications to real world problems. Several problems that appear in applied mathematics, physical sciences, geology, mechanics, engineering, economics, and biology generate mathematical models interpreted by functional equations, integral equations, matrix equations, and differential equationsetc.There are multifarious and ad-vanced methods, focusing on the existence of unique solutions to these models. To handle the existence of unique solution to such equations, one of these methods is the fixed point
method; for example, refer to [–]. In metric fixed point theory the first remarkable result was given by Banach, usually known as the Banach contraction principle. This principle is a prominent tool for solving problems in non-linear analysis. Several mathematicians improved and extended this principle by modifying the interpretation and pattern of the metric function for instance: cone metric spaces [],G-metric spaces [], partial metric spaces [] and fuzzy metric spaces []etc.After the proper introduction of cone metric space by Huang and Zhong [], there was a drawback that fixed point results under rational type contractions are unsubstantial in a cone metric space as it is a vector-valued metric. Azamet al.[] offered the conception of a complex-valued metric space for finding the fixed point results satisfying rational type contractive conditions.
Definition .([]) LetY be non-empty set andC+={c∈C:c}. Then the mapping
d:Y×Y→C+is a complex-valued metric if it satisfies the following axioms:
() d(c,c) = ⇔c=c;
() d(c,c) =d(c,c), for allc,c∈Y;
() d(c,c)d(c,c) +d(c,c), for allc,c,c∈Y.
The setYtogether withdis called a complex-valued metric space.
In this setting, Azamet al.[] generalized the Banach contraction principle for two self-maps under rational type contraction. Inspired by the impact of a complex-valued metric space, several authors [, –] proceeded with the investigation of common fixed point results.
Many mathematicians applied fixed point methods to the existence of unique solutions to non-linear integral equations, for example, refer to [, , , –]. Particularly, Sintu-navaratet al.[] and Rashwan and Saleh [] established fixed point results to find the existence of a unique common solution to a system of Urysohn integral equations. On the other hand, Pathaket al.[] and Rashwan and Saleh [] studied the existence of unique common solution to the system of Volterra-Hammerstein non-linear integral equations.
Throughout this manuscriptY represents a complex-valued metric space, unless oth-erwise specified. For two self-mapsf andf defined on a non-empty setY,w∈Y is a
common fixed point off andfiffw=fw=w. To study common fixed points, Jungck [] initiated the concept of weak compatibility of maps thus:f andf onY are weakly compatible maps ifffw=ffwwheneverfw=fw, for somew∈Y. In the study of
com-mon fixed point results of weakly compatible mappings we often require the assumption of the continuity of mappings or the completeness of the underlying space. Regarding this Aamri and Moutawakil [] relaxed these conditions by introducing the notion of the (E.A)-property. In , the new notion of Common Limit in the Range property (for short (CLR)-property) was given by Sintunavarat and Kumam [], which does not enforce the above mention conditions. Liuet al.[] extended the (E.A)-property [] to the com-mon (E.A)-property and Imdadet al.[] extended the (CLR)-property [] to common (CLR)-property. Sarwar and Bahadur Zada [] defined these views in the complex-valued metric space as follows.
Definition . Letf,f,f,f:Y→Ybe four maps. If there are two sequences{zn}and
() the common(E.A)-property if
lim
n→∞fzn=n→∞lim fzn=n→∞limfwn=n→∞lim fwn=t∈Y;
() the common(CLRff)-property if
lim
n→∞fzn=n→∞lim fzn=n→∞limfwn=n→∞lim fwn=t∈f(Y)∩f(Y).
Note that the (E.A)-property tolerates the condition of closeness of the range of sub-spaces of the involved mappings. However, the significance of the (CLR)-property reveals that closeness of the range of subspaces is not essential.
Sarwar and Bahadur Zada [] established the following common fixed point results.
Theorem . Let f,f,f,f,f,and fbe six maps on Y such that

() either both the pairs(f,f)and(f,f)satisfies common(CLRf)-property or both the
pairs(f,f)and(f,f)satisfies common(CLRf)-property.
Then f,f,f,f,f,and fhave a unique common fixed point in Y.
Theorem . Let f,f,f,f,f,and fbe six maps on Y such that all the conditions of Theorem.except condition()holds.In addition if either the pairs(f,f)and(f,f)or the pairs(f,f)and(f,f)satisfy the common(E.A)-property such that either f(Y)and f(Y)or f(Y)and f(Y)are closed subspaces of Y,then f,f,f,f,f,and fhave a unique common fixed point in Y.
The aim of this manuscript is to study the existence of unique common solution for the systems of:
• Urysohn integral equations in complex-valued metric spaces, • Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations in ordinary metric spaces.

Then the system(.)of Urysohn integral equations has a unique common solution.

using (.), we obtain

+ d(fv,fv)d(fv,fv)d(fv,fu)d(fv,fu) +d(fu,fv)d(fu,fv) +d(fv,fu)d(fv,fu)
.
Now, to show thatf(Y)⊆f(Y), we have
ffu(s) +φ(s)
= fu(s) +φ(s)
–
fu(s) +φ(s)
–φ(s)
=fu(s) +fu(s) +φ(s) –
fu(s) +φ(s)
=fu(s) +u(s) +φ(s) +φ(s) –
u(s) +φ(s) +φ(s)
.
Using (C), we getf(fu(s) +φ(s)) =fu(s), which implies thatf(Y)⊆f(Y). Similarly, one
can prove thatf(Y)⊆f(Y),f(Y)⊆f(Y) andf(Y)⊆f(Y).
Next, we need to show the weak compatibility of the pair (f,f). For this, we have
ffu(s) –ffu(s)=f
u(s) +φ(s)
–f
u(s) –u(s) –φ(s)
=u(s) +φ(s)
–
u(s) +φ(s)
–φ(s)
–
u(s) –u(s) –φ(s)
–φ(s). (.)
Iffu(s) =fu(s), foru(s)∈Y. Thenu(s) +φ(s) = u(s) –u(s) –φ(s), thus (.)
be-comes
ffu(s) –ffu(s)=u(s) –u(s) –φ(s)
–
u(s) –u(s) –φ(s)
–φ(s) –
u(s) +φ(s)
–φ(s)
=u(s) – u(s) – φ(s) –
u(s) –u(s) –φ(s)
–
u(s) +φ(s)
with the help of (C), we get ffu(s) –ffu(s) = , which implies thatffu(s) =ffu(s),
wheneverfu(s) =fu(s). Thus (f,f) is weakly compatible. In a similarly way one can easily
show the weakly compatibility of the pairs (f,f), (f,f) and (f,f). Also, from condition () of Theorem ., the pairs (f,f) and (f,f) satisfy the common (CLRf)-property.
Thus by Theorem . we can find a unique common fixed point off,f,f,f,f, andf
inY, that is, the system (.) of Urysohn integral equations has a unique common solution
inY.
In the next result we use the common (E.A)-property and the proof is simple, so we omit it.
Theorem . Under the assumptions(C)-(C)and the conditions(), ()of Theorem., if there exist two sequences{zn}and{wn}in Y such that
lim
n→∞fzn=n→∞limfzn=n→∞limfwn=n→∞lim fwn=z, for some z∈Y, (.)
and both f(Y)and f(Y)are closed subspaces of Y,then the system(.)of Urysohn integral equations has a unique common solution.

using (.), we get

.
Now, to show thatf(Z)⊆f(Z), we have
ffu(s) +p(s)
= fu(s) +p(s)–
fu(s) +p(s)–∇
fu(s) +p(s)–p(s)
=fu(s) +fu(s) +p(s) –
fu(s) +p(s)
–∇
fu(s) +p(s)
–
u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s) +p(s)
–∇
u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s) +p(s).
Using (C∗), we getf(fu(s) +p(s)) =fu(s), which implies thatf(Z)⊆f(Z). Similarly, one can prove thatf(Z)⊆f(Z),f(Z)⊆f(Z) andf(Z)⊆f(Z).
Next, we need to show the weak compatibility of the pair (f,f). For this purpose,
ffu(s) –ffu(s)
=fu(s) +∇u(s) +p(s)–fu(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s)
=u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s)–
u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s)
–∇
u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s)–p(s) –
u(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s)
–∇
u(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s)–p(s).
Iffu(s) =fu(s), foru(s)∈Z. Thenu(s) +∇u(s) +p(s) = u(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s),
thus the above equation becomes
ffu(s) –ffu(s)
=u(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s)
–
u(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s)
–∇
u(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s)
–p(s) –
u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s)
–∇
u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s)
–p(s)
=u(s) – u(s) – ∇u(s) –p(s) – p(s)
–
u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s)–∇
u(s) +∇u(s) +p(s)
–
u(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s)
–∇
u(s) –u(s) –∇u(s) –p(s),
with the help of (C∗), we get ffz(s) –ffz(s) = , which implies thatffz(s) =ffz(s), wheneverfz(s) =fz(s). Thus the pair (f,f) is weakly compatible. In a similar way one can easily show the weakly compatibility of the pairs (f,f), (f,f), and (f,f). Also, from con-dition () of Theorem . the pairs (f,f) and (f,f) satisfy the common (CLRf)-property. Thus by Corollary ., we can find a unique common fixed point off,f,f,f,f, andf
inZ, that is, the system (.) of Volterra-Hammerstein non-linear integral equations has
a unique common solution inZ.
In the next theorem we use the common (E.A)-property.

4 Conclusions
In the current work, we studied the existence of unique common solution for the systems of Urysohn and Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations in incomplete spaces. Several problems that appear in applied mathematics, physical sciences, geology, mechanics, en-gineering, economics, and biology generate mathematical models described by integral equations.
