We establish three major fixed-point theorems for functions satisfying generalized rational type almost contraction conditions. Firstly we consider the case of a single mapping, secondly we look at the case of a triplet of mappings and we conclude by the case of a family of mappings. The theorems we present generalize similar results already obtained by Abbas, Rhoades, Gaba, and others. The operators we consider are all of the weakly Picard type.
