Abstract:
We introduce the notion of  -continuity, which generalizes both continuity and the hypothesis in the Generalized Banach Contraction Conjecture, and prove that any  -continuous self-map on a scattered compact space, has an invariant finite set. We use the results and the techniques to prove the Generalized Banach Contraction Conjecture.
