Common fixed point of single valued and multivalued mappings (Q471575)

The main result of this paper (Theorem 3.1) asserts that if \(K\) is a nonempty closed bounded and convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space \(X\), \(f:K\to K\) is a continuous asymptotically regular mapping (that is, \(\lim_{n\to\infty}\| f^n(x)-f^{n+1}(x)\|=0\) for any \(x\in K\)), and \(T\) is a self-mapping on \(K\) with compact values and nonexpansive, then, if \(f\) and \(T\) commute, there exists a common fixed point \(z\), that is, \(z\) is such that \(f(z)=z\in T(z)\). This result is a significant improvement of a previous result from \textit{S. Itoh} and \textit{W. Takahashi} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 59, 514--521 (1977; Zbl 0351.47040)] which is addressed in the paper; however, the given proof is based on the alleged fact that if \(f\) is asymptotically regular, then the sequence of iterates \((f^n(x))\) is a Cauchy sequence, which is not necessarily true.
