On spirals and fixed point property

Roman Mańka (1994)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We study the famous examples of G. S. Young [7] and R. H. Bing [2]. We generalize and simplify a little their constructions. First we introduce Young spirals which play a basic role in all considerations. We give a construction of a Young spiral which does not have the fixed point property (see Section 5) . Then, using Young spirals, we define two classes of uniquely arcwise connected curves, called Young spaces and Bing spaces. These classes are analogous to the examples mentioned above. The definitions...

On the convergence of the Ishikawa iterates to a common fixed point of two mappings

Ljubomir B. Ćirić, Jeong Sheok Ume, M. S. Khan (2003)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let C be a convex subset of a complete convex metric space X , and S and T be two selfmappings on C . In this paper it is shown that if the sequence of Ishikawa iterations associated with S and T converges, then its limit point is the common fixed point of S and T . This result extends and generalizes the corresponding results of Naimpally and Singh [6], Rhoades [7] and Hicks and Kubicek [3].

On the Converse of Caristi's Fixed Point Theorem

Szymon Głąb (2004)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

Let X be a nonempty set of cardinality at most 2 and T be a selfmap of X. Our main theorem says that if each periodic point of T is a fixed point under T, and T has a fixed point, then there exist a metric d on X and a lower semicontinuous map ϕ :X→ ℝ ₊ such that d(x,Tx) ≤ ϕ(x) - ϕ(Tx) for all x∈ X, and (X,d) is separable. Assuming CH (the Continuum Hypothesis), we deduce that (X,d) is compact.
