A fixed point theorem for k-set-contractions defined in a cone

Juan A. Gatica and William A. Kirk

Vol. 53 (1974), No. 1, 131–136
Abstract

Let X be a Banach space and H a solid closed cone in X with interior H0. Suppose B is a bounded open set in X containing the origin. For G = B H0, let HG denote the relative boundary of the closure G of G in H. In this paper mappings T : G H are considered where T is a k-set-contraction, k < 1. It is shown for such mappings that if (I tT)(G) is open, t [0,1], and if T satisfies (i) Tαiλx for all x HG and λ > 1, then T has a fixed point in G. In the special case when T is a contraction mapping, (I tT)(G) is always open and boundedness of B can be dispensed with.
