A Banach space $X$ has the ball fixed point property (BFPP) if for every closed ball $B$ and for every nonexpansive mapping $T\colon B\to B$, there is a fixed point. We study the BFPP for $C(K)$-spaces. Our goal is to determine topological…
A nonempty closed convex bounded subset $C$ of a Banach space is said to have the weak approximate fixed point property if for every continuous map $f:C\to C$ there is a sequence $\{x_n\}$ in $C$ such that $x_n-f(x_n)$ converge weakly to 0.…
Another proof that uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property is presented.
It is shown that if the dual of a separable Banach space has Property($K^*$) then the original space has the weak fixed point property. This is an improvement of previously results.
Another proof that uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property is presented.
We prove that a closed convex subset of a Banach space is (super-)weakly compact if and only if it is (super)-ergodic. As a consequence we deduce that super weakly compact sets are characterized by the fixed point property for continuous…
Another proof that uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces have the fixed point property is presented.
Let $X$ be a Banach space and let $C$ be a closed convex bounded subset of $X$. It is proved that $C$ is weakly compact if, and only if, $C$ has the {it generic} fixed point property ($\mathcal{G}$-FPP) for the class of $L$-bi-Lipschitz…
It is shown that if the dual of a Banach space, $X^*$, where the dual ball is weak* sequentially compact, has the weak* uniform Kadec-Klee property then $X^*$ has Property($K^*$). An example is given where the reverse implication does not…
First we prove that if a separable Banach space $X$ contains an isometric copy of an infinite-dimensional space $A(S)$ of affine continuous functions on a Choquet simplex $S$, then its dual $X^*$ lacks the weak$^*$ fixed point property for…
Fixed point theory studies conditions under which nonexpansive maps on Banach spaces have fixed points. This paper examines the open question of whether every reflexive Banach space has the fixed point property. After surveying classical…
In this paper we show that if $(y_n)$ is a seminormalized sequence in a Banach space which does not have any weakly convergent subsequence, then it contains a wide-$(s)$ subsequence $(x_n)$ which admits an equivalent convex basic sequence.…
We prove that the following three properties for a Banach space are all different from each other: every finite convex combination of slices of the unit ball is (1) relatively weakly open, (2) has nonempty interior in relative weak topology…
A topological space has the fixed point property if every continuous self-map of that space has at least one fixed point. We demonstrate that there are serious restraints imposed by the requirement that there be a choice of fixed points…
We say that a metric space $(X,d)$ possesses the \emph{Banach Fixed Point Property (BFPP)} if every contraction $f:X\to X$ has a fixed point. The Banach Fixed Point Theorem says that every complete metric space has the BFPP. However, E.…
We prove that every Banach space containing a subspace isomorphic to $\co$ fails the fixed point property. The proof is based on an amalgamation approach involving a suitable combination of known results and techniques, including James's…
In this paper, we study a class of Banach spaces, called \phi-spaces. In a natural way, we associate a measure of weak compactness in such spaces and prove an analogue of Sadovskii fixed point theorem for weakly sequentially continuous…
A boundary for a Banach space is a subset of the dual unit sphere with the property that each element of the Banach space attains its norm on an element of that subset. Trivially, the pointwise convergence with respect to such a boundary is…
We show that the direct sum of Banach spaces $X_{1},..., X_{r}$ with a strictly monotone norm has the weak fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings whenever $M(X_{i})>1$ for each $i=1,...,r$. In particular, $(X_{1} \oplus ... \oplus…
We consider a Banach space, which comes naturally from c0 and it appears in the literature, and we prove that this space has the fixed point property for non-expansive mappings.
