Fixed point theorems of upper semicontinuous multivalued mappings with applications in hyperconvex metric spaces (Q1856965)

The authors obtain two fixed point theorems for upper semicontinuous multivalued mappings defined on a nonempty sub-admissible subset \(X\) of a hyperconvex metric space into a compact subset \(Z\) of \(X\). Such a mapping has a fixed point if it takes closed acyclic values (Theorem 2.1 in the paper) or if \(X\) is closed and its values are nonempty closed and sub-admissible (Theorem 2.2). As applications, the authors establish new coincidence theorems and minimax results in hyperconvex metric spaces.
