Abstract

By a metric fixed point theorem we mean an existence result for a fixed point of a mapping f under conditions which depend on a metric d, and which are not invariant when we replace d by an equivalent metric. The best known metric fixed point theorem is the Banach theorem, also called the contractive mapping principle: “every contraction from a complete metric space into itself has a (unique) fixed point”. It is clear that a contractive mapping can lose this property if d is replaced by an equivalent metric. The Banach theorem is a basic tool in functional analysis, nonlinear analysis and differential equations. If we relax the contractive condition, requiring only that the mapping be nonexpansive, that is, d(f (x), f (y)) ≤ d(x, y), then trivial examples show that the Banach theorem need no longer hold. This failure may have been the reason why no significant result about the existence of fixed points for nonexpansive mappings was obtained for many years. However, in 1965, Browder [Br1 and Br2], Göhde [Go] and Kirk [Ki1] proved the following results: “let X be a Banach space, C a closed, convex and bounded subset of X and T : C → C a nonexpansive mapping. If X is either a Hilbert space, or a uniformly convex Banach space or a reflexive Banach space with normal structure, then T has a fixed point”. This result is, in some sense, surprising because it uses convexity hypotheses (more usual in topological fixed point theory) and geometric properties of the Banach spaces (commonly used in linear functional analysis, but rarely considered in nonlinear analysis prior to this time). The above results were the starting point for a new mathematical field: the application of the geometric theory of Banach spaces to fixed point theory. The texts [GK1], [AK], [KZ] and [Z] constitute excellent surveys of this theory.KeywordsBanach SpaceFixed Point TheoremNonexpansive MappingFixed Point TheoryConvex Banach SpaceThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
