    The author formulates two theorems extending the classical Banach fixed point theorem. Unfortunately, the main results seem to be not correct. The assertion of Theorem 1 is not true without some additional assumptions. In particular consider the space \(M= \mathbb{R}\), the subsets \(X_1= [0,1]\), \(X_2= [1,2]\) and \(X_i= [2,3]\) for \(i= 3,4,\dots\) and the mappings \(T_i: X_i\to X_{i+1}\) defined as follows: \(T_1(x)= 1+{x\over 3}\) for \(x\in [0,1]\), \(T_2(x)= 2+{x\over 3}\) for \(x\in [1,2]\) and \(T_i(x)= 2+{x\over 3}\) for \(x\in [2,3]\), \(i= 3,4,\dots\); none of the mappings of the form \(T_i\circ T_{i-1}\circ\cdots\circ T_1\) \((i= 1,2,3,\dots)\) has a fixed point, while using Theorem 1 of the paper we should expect existence of the (unique) fixed point since all assumptions of that theorem are satisfied. There are several mistakes in the text (one of them seems to be really essential: the definition of \(P_j\) in Theorem 2 (formula (11)) is incorrect).
