Let \((X,d)\) be a metric space and \(H\) be the Hausdorff metric on the set \(CB(X)\) (= collection of all nonempty closed bounded subsets of \(X\)) and \(f: X\to X\) be a single-valued map. A multivalued map \(T: X\to CB(X)\) is said to be an \(f\)-contraction iff for a fixed constant \(h\in (0,1)\) and for any \(x,y\in X\), \(H(Tx, Ty)\leq h\cdot d(fx,fy)\). Let \(C(f,T)\) denote the set of all points \(x\in X\) such that \(fx\in Tx\). In the present paper, the authors prove the following Theorem 2.1. Let \(X\) be complete metric space and let \(f\) be a self-map on \(X\) such that \(f^2\) is continuous. Let \(T: f(X)\to CB(X)\) be an \(f\)-contraction map such that \(T(f(X))\subset f^2(X)\) and \(f(Tx)\subset T(fx)\), \(x\i f(X)\). Then \(C(f, T)\neq \emptyset\).
