On some fixed point theorems in Banach spaces.
The notion of proximal normal structure is introduced and used to study mappings that are "relatively nonexpansive" in the sense that they are defined on the union of two subsets A and B of a Banach space X and satisfy ∥ Tx-Ty∥ ≤ ∥ x-y∥ for all x ∈ A, y ∈ B. It is shown that if A and B are weakly compact and convex, and if the pair (A,B) has proximal normal structure, then a relatively nonexpansive mapping T: A ∪ B → A ∪ B satisfying (i) T(A) ⊆ B and T(B) ⊆ A, has a proximal point in the sense that...
