### Theorems for Boyd-Wong-Type Contractions in Ordered Metric Spaces

#### Abstract

We give some fixed point results using an ICS mapping and involving Boyd-Wong-type contractions in partially ordered metric spaces. Our results generalize, extend, and unify several well-known comparable theorems in the literature. Also, we present some examples to support our results.
