Fixed points, selections and common fixed points for nonexpansive-type mappings
Abstract
We study the existence of fixed points in the context of uniformly convex geodesic metric spaces, hyperconvex spaces and Banach spaces for single and multivalued mappings satisfying conditions that generalize the concept of nonexpansivity. Besides, we use the fixed point theorems proved here to give common fixed point results for commuting mappings.

In [26], T. Suzuki ex ends he concep o single alued nonexpansi e mapping in he ol-

The pu pose o his pape is o s udy condi ion (C) o mul i alued mappings in he

Le (X, d) be a me ic space. A geodesic pa h om x o yis a mapping c: [0, l]⊆R→X

I no con usion a ises, we will use [x, y] o deno e a geodesic segmen joining xand y.
(X, d) is a (uniquely) geodesic space i e e y wo poin s x, y ∈Xcan be joined by a

In a geodesic space (X, d), he me ic d:X×X→Ris con ex i o any x, y, z ∈X

A mapping δ: (0,∞)×(0,2] →(0,1] p o iding such a δ=δ( , ) o a gi en > 0 and

Th oughou his pape we will deno e a uni o mly con ex me ic space wi h mono one

In [5], he au ho s p o e ha e e y bounded sequence in a UC space has a unique

In his pape we also conside he ollowing amilies o se s:

Gi en (X, d) a me ic space and A⊆X, he numbe x(A) = supy∈Ad(x, y) is called

An R- ee is a uniquely geodesic me ic space Xsuch ha i [y, x]∩[x, z] = {x} hen

In [26], T. Suzuki conside ed he ollowing gene alized amily o nonexpansi e map-

In his sec ion we s udy he mul i alued e sion o mappings wi h condi ion (C) in

De ini ion 3.1. Le Xbe a me ic space, K∈P(X),T:K→P(X)and µ≥1.
The mapping Tsa is ies condi ion (Eµ)i o each x, y ∈Kand ux∈T(x) he e exis s

We p o e nex ha a mul i alued mapping which sa is ies condi ion (C) also sa is ies

Lemma 3.2. Le Xbe a me ic space, K∈P(X)and le T:K→P(K)sa is y

P oo . Le x, y ∈Kand ux∈T(x). Because (1/2)d(x, ux)≤d(x, ux) he e exis s

d(ux, x)≤d(x, ux).(1)
We p o e ha ei he 1
2d(x, ux)≤d(x, y) (2)
o 1
2d(ux, x)≤d(ux, y) (3)
holds. Suppose (1/2)d(x, ux)> d(x, y) and (1/2)d(ux, x)> d(ux, y). Then, using (1)
we ob ain he ollowing con adic ion
d(x, ux)≤d(x, y) + d(y, ux)<1
2d(x, ux) + 1
2d(ux, x)≤d(x, ux).
Hence, i (2) holds, hen he e exis s uy∈T(y) such ha d(ux, uy)≤d(x, y), so
d(x, uy)≤d(x, ux) + d(ux, uy)≤d(x, ux) + d(x, y).
I (3) holds, hen he e exis s uy∈T(y) such ha d( x, uy)≤d(ux, y). Using again (1)
we ha e ha
d(x, uy)≤d(x, ux) + d(ux, x) + d( x, uy)≤2d(x, ux) + d(ux, y)≤3d(x, ux) + d(x, y).
Thus, he inequali y holds in each o he wo cases and we a e done.

Con inuing in his ein, we can build he sequences (xn)n∈Nand (yn)n∈Nsuch ha

Using Lemma 2.4 we ob ain ha limn→∞ d(xn, yn) = 0.

Using Lemma 3.2, we ha e ha o all k∈N

Taking he limi as k→ ∞ we ob ain ha dis (x, T (x)) = 0. Since T(x) is closed i
ollows ha x∈T(x).
In he ollowing heo em we mo e he compac ness condi ion om he domain o he

Le (znk)k∈Nbe a subsequence o (zn)n∈N ha con e ges o some z∈T(x). Then, o

Taking he supe io limi as k→ ∞ and knowing ha he asymp o ic cen e o (xnk)k∈N

We p o e nex a selec ion heo em in R- ees o mul i alued mappings sa is ying
condi ion (C0) and analyze a e wa ds he ela ion o (C0) o (C) and (E3) espec i ely.
Theo em 3.9. Le Xbe an R- ee, K∈P(X)and T:K→Pcl,c (X)a mapping which
sa is ies (C0). Then he mapping :K→Xde ined by (x) = PT(x)(x) o each x∈K
is a selec ion o T ha sa is ies condi ion (C).
P oo . No ice ha he p ope ies o R- ees (see Sec ion 2) gua an ee ha is well-
de ined. Le x, y ∈Ksuch ha (x)6= (y) and (1/2)d(x, (x)) ≤d(x, y). Conside
p(x) = PT(y)( (x)) and p(y) = PT(x)( (y)).
Fi s , suppose p(x)6= (y) and p(y)6= (x). Since p(x) is he p ojec ion o (x) on o
T(y) i ollows ha
d( (x), (y)) = d( (x), p(x)) + d(p(x), (y)),
i.e., p(x)∈[ (x), (y)]. Since T(y) is con ex, [p(x), (y)] ⊆T(y). This implies
[ (x), (y)] ∩[ (y), y] = { (y)}because o he wise he minimali y o (y) would be
con adic ed. Thus, (y)∈[ (x), y]. Simila ly, (x)∈[ (y), x]. Then (x), (y)∈[x, y]
(o he wise supposing o example ha z∈[x, (y)]∩[ (y), y] wi h z6= (y) we ha e ha
(x)∈[z, (y)] and (y)∈[z, (x)] which is alse). The e o e, d( (x), (y)) ≤d(x, y).
In ac , d( (x), (y)) = d(x, y)−dis (x, T(x)) −dis (y, T(y)).
Now assume p(x) = (y). Then d( (x), (y)) = dis ( (x), T(y)) and so, by condi ion
(C0),
d( (x), (y)) = dis ( (x), T(y)) ≤d(x, y).

Since (xn)n∈Nis egula we conclude ha =z∈T(z).

This shows ha ∈A, and so T(x)∩A6=∅.
Now we a e eady o p o e an analogous esul o he Ki k-Massa heo em [16] o

Now we de ine he mapping ˜

Since T(x)∩Ais a compac con ex se we can apply he Kaku ani-Bohnenblus -Ka lin

Ob iously, a nonexpansi e mapping mee s he abo e condi ion. Howe e , i is no

he se PT(y)(x)is a single on. I and Tcommu e, hen PT(y)(x)∈Fix( ) o all
x, y ∈Fix( ).
P oo . Le x, y ∈Fix( ) and deno e PT(y)(x) by u. Because mee s condi ion (C) and
0 = (1/2)d(x, (x)) ≤d(x, u) we ob ain ha d(x, (u)) = d( (x), (u)) ≤d(x, u) =
dis (x, T(y)). Bu (u)∈T(y) because and Tcommu e, y∈Fix( ) and u∈T(y).
Hence, (u) = uand he conclusion ollows.

The ollowing heo em is an ex ension o Theo em 4.2 o [23] in he se ing o a UC

Theo em 5.3. Le Xbe a comple e UC space wi h con ex me ic and K∈Pb,cl,c (X).
Suppose :K→Kand T:K→Pcp,c (K)sa is y condi ion (C). I and Tcommu e,
hen he e exis s z∈Ksuch ha z= (z)∈T(z).
P oo . Using Theo em 2.6, i ollows ha Fix( ) is nonemp y, closed and con ex. Since
he se ing we wo k in is a UC space, he p ojec ion on o each compac and con ex se is
a single on. By Lemma 5.2, PT(x)(x)∈T(x)∩Fix( ) o each x∈Fix( ) and so we can
conside he mapping T(·)∩Fix( ) : Fix( )→Pcp(Fix( )). We show ha his mapping
sa is ies condi ion (C). Le x, y ∈Fix( ), ux∈T(x)∩Fix( ) such ha (1/2)d(x, ux)≤
d(x, y). Since T ul ills (C), he e exis s y∈T(y) such ha d(ux, y)≤d(x, y). Le uy
s and o PT(y)(ux). Acco ding o Lemma 5.2, uy∈T(y)∩Fix( ). I is also clea ha
d(ux, uy)≤d(ux, y)≤d(x, y). Thus, he mapping T(·)∩Fix( ) : Fix( )→Pcp(Fix( ))
sa is ies (C) which means, using Theo em 3.6, ha he e exis s z∈Ksuch ha z=
(z)∈T(z).
Likewise, one can p o e he ollowing esul in he amewo k o R- ees.
Theo em 5.4. Le Xbe a bounded comple e R- ee. Suppose :X→Xand T:X→
Pcl,c (X)sa is y condi ions (C)and (C0) espec i ely. I and Tcommu e, hen he e
exis s z∈Ksuch ha z= (z)∈T(z).
P oo . Acco ding o Theo em 2.6, i ollows ha Fix( ) is nonemp y, closed and con ex
(and so also hype con ex). This means ha Fix( ) is in i s own u n a comple e R- ee.
Since in an R- ee he p ojec ion on o each closed and con ex se is a single on we can
apply Lemma 5.2 and so T(x)∩Fix( )6=∅ o each x∈Fix( ). Now conside he
mapping T(·)∩Fix( ) : Fix( )→Pcl,c (Fix( )). We show ha his mapping sa is ies
condi ion (C0). Le x, y ∈Fix( ), ux∈T(x)∩Fix( ) such ha d(x, ux) = dis (x, T(x)∩
Fix( )) and (1/2)d(x, ux)≤d(x, y). Applying Lemma 5.2, PT(x)(x)∈T(x)∩Fix( )
which implies ha dis (x, T (x)) = dis (x, T(x)∩Fix( )), so d(x, ux) = dis (x, T(x)).
Because Tsa is ies (C0), he e exis s y∈T(y) such ha d(ux, y)≤d(x, y). Le uy
s and o PT(y)(ux). Acco ding o Lemma 5.2, uy∈T(y)∩Fix( ). I is also clea
ha d(ux, uy)≤d(ux, y)≤d(x, y). Thus, he mapping T(·)∩Fix( ) : Fix( )→
Pcl,c (Fix( )) sa is ies (C0) which means, using Co olla y 3.11, ha he e exis s z∈K
such ha z= (z)∈T(z).
