On some fixed point theorems on uniformly convex Banach spaces (Q1197441)

The author introduces the concept of \(T\)-regularity and generalizes a well known fixed point theorem of \textit{F. E. Browder} [Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 54, 1041-1043 (1965; Zbl 0128.358)]. Let \(X\) be a vector space and \(A\) be a subset of \(X\). \(A\) is said to be a \(T\)-regular set if and only if (i) \(T: A\to A\); (ii) \({1\over 2}(x+Tx)\in A\), for each \(x\) in \(A\). Main Theorem. Let \(K\) be a nonempty weakly compact \(T\)-regular subset of a uniformly convex Banach space \(X\). Further for each weakly closed \(T\)- regular subset \(F\) of \(K\), with \(\delta(F)>0\), there exists some \(\beta(F)\), \(0<\beta(F)<1\), such that \[ \| Tx-Ty\|\leq max\{\| x-y\|, \beta\delta(F)\} \] for all \(x,y\in F\). Then \(T\) has a fixed point in \(K\). The proof is based on a Zorn's lemma. From the concept of \(T\)-regularity and other results of the author, theorems of \textit{C. L. Outlaw} [Pac. J. Math. 30, 747-750 (1969; Zbl 0174.193)] and \textit{A. A. Gillespie} and \textit{B. B. Williams} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 74, 382-387 (1980; Zbl 0448.47039)] can be deduced as special cases.
