Fixed points and characterizations of certain maps

Abstract

Let T be a self map on a metric space (X, d) such that

d(T (x ),T(y)) ≦ (d(x,T(x))+ d(y,T (y)))∕2, x,y ∈ X.

It is proved that: (a) T has a fixed point if T is continuous and X is weakly compact convex subset of a Banach space. (b) All such T which have fixed points can be explicitly determined in terms of d. Related results are obtained.
