An extension of Mehta theorem with applications (Q412456)

In this paper, the authors extend the notion of measure of precompactness, introduced by \textit{C. J. Himmelberg, J. R. Porter} and \textit{F. S. Van Vleck} [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 23, 635--641 (1969; Zbl 0195.14902)], to \(l.c.\)-spaces with precompact polytope and they obtain a generalization of Mehta's theorem, see [\textit{G. Mehta}, Appl. Math. Lett. 3, No. 2, 69--71 (1990; Zbl 0717.47020)]. Based on these results, the authors obtain a new fixed point result for a class of condensing mappings. This result is a generalization of a similar result from the paper \textit{E. Tarafdar} and \textit{P. J. Watson}, [Coincidence and the Fan-Glicksberg fixed point theorem in locally H-convex spaces.
