A fixed point theorem based on Miranda.
We prove a fixed point theorem for a multivalued non-self mapping in a metrically convex complete metric space. This result generalizes Theorem 1 of Itoh [2].
It is known that every homeomorphism of the plane which admits an invariant non-separating continuum has a fixed point in the continuum. In this paper we show that any branched covering map of the plane of degree d, |d| ≤ 2, which has an invariant, non-separating continuum Y, either has a fixed point in Y, or is such that Y contains a minimal (in the sense of inclusion among invariant continua), fully invariant, non-separating subcontinuum X. In the latter case, f has to be of degree -2 and X has...
A mapping T from a topological space X to a topological space Y is said to be compact if T(X) is contained in a compact subset of Y . The aim of this paper is to prove the existence of fixed points of a nonexpansive compact self-mapping defined on a closed subset having a contractive jointly continuous family when the underlying space is a metric space. The proved result generalizes and extends several known results on the subject
A fixed point theorem is proved for non-self multi-valued mappings in a metrically convex complete metric space satisfying a slightly stronger contraction condition than in Rhoades [3] and under a weaker boundary condition than in Itoh [2] and Rhoades [3].
