Fixed-point theorems for asymptotically regular mappings in Orlicz function spaces (Q5935354)

Assume that \(X\) is an Orlicz function space equipped with either the Luxemburg norm or the Orlicz norm, and \(C\) is a convex bounded set of \(X\) which is compact for the topology of convergence locally in measure. Let \(T\) be a mapping from \(C\) into itself. Using the idea of Opial modulus [\textit{P.-K. Lin, K.-K. Tan} and \textit{H. K. Xu}, Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 24, No. 6, 929-946 (1995; Zbl 0865.47040)] and a fixed point theorem due to the first author of this paper and \textit{H.-K. Xu} [ibid. 25, No. 3, 311-325 (1995; Zbl 0830.47041)], the authors show that an asymptotically regular mapping \(T\) has a fixed point under some additional conditions. Some good special cases are also discussed. The importance of the main result may be realized from the fact that ``The result of Thorem 4 is not true if we just require that \(C\) is a weakly compact convex set''.
