We prove the following
result in this paper: Let (X,d) be a complete metric space and Y be a space
having the fixed point property. Let f : X × Y → X × Y be a continuous
map. If f is a contraction mapping in the first variable, then f has a fixed
point.
This result is a generalization to the result obtained in Nadler [5].
Other results are proved concerning the fixed point theorem for product
spaces.
The concept “continuous height-selection” is discussed and its relation to the
existence of fixed points for a function is also discussed.
