In this paper, we introduced the concept of (CAB)-contractive mappings and provide sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a fixed point for such class of generalized nonlinear contractive mappings in metric spaces and several interesting corollaries are deduced. Also, as application, we obtain some results on coupled fixed points, fixed point on metric spaces endowed with N-transitive binary relation and fixed point for cyclic mappings. The proved results generalize and extend various well-known results in the literature.
