Let \(X\) be a Banach space without the Schur property. To obtain the weak fixed point property in Banach spaces, \textit{J. García-Falset} introduced in [Houston J. Math. 20, No. 3, 495-506 (1994; Zbl 0816.47062)] the coefficient \[ R(X)=\sup \left\{\liminf_{n\to\infty}\|x_n-x\|: \{x_n\}\subset B(X),\;x_n\mathop{\longrightarrow}\limits^w 0,\;x\in B(X)\right\} \] and has proved that a Banach space \(X\) with \(R(X)<2\) has the weak fixed point property [see \textit{J. García-Falset}, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 215, No. 2, 532-542 (1997; Zbl 0902.47048)]. In this paper the coefficient \(R(X)\) is calculated for Orlicz sequence spaces equipped with the Luxemburg norm and for Cesàro spaces \(ces_p\) \((1<p<\infty).\) Furthermore, an example of a nonreflexive Banach space \(X\) with \(R(X)<2\) is given. This shows that the property (\textbf{WNUS}) introduced by García-Falset in the second paper cited above is stronger than the property \(R(X)<2.\) For the entire collection see [Zbl 0943.00053].
