A generalization of Browder's fixed point theorem with applications (Q5919925)

This paper presents some fixed point theorems (Theorems 1--4) which are equivalent to each other. Theorem 1 in this paper is as follows. Let \(E\) be a Hausdorff topological vector space, \(X\) a nonempty convex subset of \(E\), and \(K:FS(X)\to CC(X)\) a \(c\)-compact mapping. Let the mapping \(F:X\to 2^X\) satisfy (i) \(F(x)\) is convex for each \(x\in X\); (ii) \(F\) has the local intersection property; (iii) there exists \(L\subset X\) such that \(F(x)\subset K(\{x\})\) for each \(x\in L\); (iv) there exists \(y'\in X\) such that \(D\cap \overline{X\setminus F^{-1}(y')}^X\) is compact in \(X\), where \(D:=\{x\in X\setminus L; \;x\in\bigcap_{y\in K(\{x\})}\overline{X\setminus F^{-1}(y)}^X\}\) and \(\overline{B}^X\) is the closure of \(B\) in \(X\). Then \(F\) has a fixed point in \(X\).
