A metric space \((H,d)\) is said to be hyperconvex [\textit{N. Aronszajn} and \textit{P. Panitchpakdi}, Pac. J. Math. 6, 405-439 (1956; Zbl 0074.17802)] if \(\bigcap_\alpha B(x_\alpha, r_\alpha)\neq \emptyset\) for any collection \(\{B(x_\alpha, r_\alpha)\}\) of closed balls in \(H\) for which \(d(x_\alpha, x_\beta)\leq r_\alpha+ r_\beta\). A \(C\)-space \((X,\Gamma)\) is a topological space \(X\) with a multimap \(\Gamma:\langle X\rangle\multimap X\) from the set \(\langle X\rangle\) of all nonempty finite subsets of \(X\) into the power set of \(X\) such that: (1) for each \(A\in\langle X\rangle\), \(\Gamma(A)= \Gamma_A\) is \(n\)-connected for all \(n\geq 0\), and (2) for all \(A,B\in\langle X\rangle\), \(A\subset B\) implies \(\Gamma_A\subset \Gamma_B\). In this paper the authors obtain some generalizations of fixed point theorems for nonexpansive multimaps, the Kakutani type maps and Fan-Browder type maps. For example Theorem 1. Let \(H\) be a bounded hyperconvex multimap from a metric space \(X\) into a hyperconvex space \(H\) having \(\Gamma\)-convex values. Then \(M\) admits a nonexpansive single-valued selection. Theorem 2. Let \(H\) be a bounded hyperconvex space, \(Z\subset H\) with \(\dim_HZ\leq 0\) and \(M: H\multimap H\) a nonexpansive multimap such that \(M(x)\) is \(\Gamma\)-convex for \(x\not\in Z\). Then \(M\) has a fixed point. Theorem 3. Let \(H\) be a hyperconvex space and \(\emptyset: H\multimap H\) a compact map with nonempty closed \(\Gamma\)-convex values. If \(\emptyset\) is u.s.c. or l.s.c., then \(\emptyset\) has a fixed point. Theorem 4. Let \(H\) be a compact hyperconvex space and: \(T: H\multimap H\) a multimap with values \(BI(H)\) and open fibers. Then \(T\) has a fixed point.
