The fixed point property and unbounded sets in Banach spaces (Q993635)

Let \(C\) be a real Hilbert space and let be a closed convex subset on \(H\). \textit{W. O. Ray} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 258, 531--537 (1980; Zbl 0433.47026)] proved that every nonexpansive mapping of \(C\) into itself has a fixed point in \(C\) iff \(C\) is bounded. The authors in the paper under review prove a counterpart of Ray's theorem in the setting of Banach spaces for the class of nonspreading mappings.
