Fixed points of multivalued mappings with \(ELC^K\) values (Q1769845)

A family \(\{X_{\lambda}:\lambda\in\Lambda\}\) of subsets of \(\mathbb{R}^n\) is \(eLC^k\) (equilocally connected in dimension \(k\)) if for every \(\varepsilon>0\) there is \(\delta(\varepsilon)>0\) such that for all \(\lambda\), \(x\in X_{\lambda}\), \(r=0,\dots,k\), every map \(\omega:S^r\rightarrow K(x,\delta(\varepsilon))\cap X_{\lambda}\) has a continuous extension \(\overline{\omega}:D^{r+1}\rightarrow K(x,\varepsilon)\cap X_{\lambda}\). Let \(\varrho_s\) be the Hausdorff metric and \(\varrho_c\) be the Borsuk metric of continuity. The author obtains fixed point theorems for \(\varrho_s\) (\(\varrho_c\), respectively) continuous multivalued mappings with equilocally connected values in dimension \(n-1\) or \(n-2\) on \(n\)-dimensional disks and closed manifolds. Also, he proves that there exists a fixed point free \(\varrho_c\)-continuous mapping of \(D^4\) with compact connected values, solving in this way a problem formulated by \textit{L. Górniewicz} [Ann. Sci. Math. Qué. 22, 169--179 (1998; Zbl 1079.54522)].
