Abstract
We show that if is a compact metrizable space with finitely many accumulation points, then the closed unit ball of is a plastic metric space, which means that any non-expansive bijection from onto itself is in fact an isometry. We also show that if is a zero-dimensional compact Hausdorff space with a dense set of isolated points, then any non-expansive homeomorphism of is an isometry.
