Existence of fixed point for the nonexpansive mapping of intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces (Q927343)

The existence of a fixed point of an intuitionistic fuzzy nonexpansive mapping is proved. The theorem generalizes a result of \textit{V. Gregori} and \textit{A. Sapena} [Fuzzy Sets Syst. 125, No. 2, 245--252 (2002; Zbl 0995.54046)]. Also, the Edelstein periodic point theorem for locally contractive mappings is extended from metric spaces to intuitionistic fuzzy metric spaces.
