If \(K\) is a compact Hausdorff space and \(Y\) is a Banach space, let \(X= C(K,Y)\) denote the class of continuous functions on \(K\) with values in \(Y\), and let \(L(Y)\) denote the class of continuous linear operators in \(Y\). The composition operator \(T\) is defined by \(T(f)(k)= w(k)f(\varphi(k))\), where \(w(k)\in L(Y)\), and \(\varphi: K\to K\) is a continuous mapping. In the main theorem of this paper (Theorem 2), the author shows that if there is a point \(e\) such that (i) \(\varphi(e)= e\), (ii) \(\{\varphi^{-n}(\{e\}), n=1,2,3,\dots\}\) is nowhere dense in \(K\), (iii) \(\bigcup^\infty_{n= 1}\varphi^{-n}(\{e\})\) is dense in \(K\), (iv) the set \(\{\mu: \mu\in\sigma(w(e))\), \((\mu I_Y- w(e))Y= Y\}\) does not contain any circle centred at \(0\), then the spectrum \(\sigma(T)\) is a disk centred at \(0\).
