Abstract In this article, we carry out some observations on existing metrical coincidence theorems of Karapinar et al. (Fixed Point Theory Appl. 2014:92, 2014) and Erhan et al. (J. Inequal. Appl. 2015:52, 2015) proved for Lakshmikantham–Ćirić-type nonlinear contractions involving (f,g) $(f,g)$-closed transitive sets after proving some coincidence theorems satisfying Boyd–Wong-type nonlinear contractivity conditions employing the idea of (f,g) $(f,g)$-closed locally f-transitive binary relation.
