A fixed point theorem for weakly inward multivalued contractions.
(English)
[J] J. Math. Anal. Appl. 247, No.1, 323-327 (2000). ISSN 0022-247X

Using transfinite induction the author proves the following fixed point theorem: \par Let $D$ be a nonempty closed subset of a Banach space $X$ and let $T$ be a mapping assigning to $x\in D$ a nonempty closed set $T(x)\subset X$. Assume that $T$ is contractive with respect to the Hausdorff metric and that $Tx$ is contained in the closure of $x+\{\lambda(z-x)\mid z\in D$, $\lambda\ge 1\}$ for each $x\in D$. Then there is an $x\in D$ such that $x\in Tx$.
