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.
