Abstract:

Over thirty years ago, Kirk raised the question of whether a nonexpansive mapping, defined on a convex domain with nonempty interior, has a fixed point under the Leray-Schauder condition, provided that its domain enjoys the Fixed Point Property with respect to nonexpansive self-mappings. In the present work we have found the answer to this question to be positive, even for a larger class of mappings. The result, indeed, represents a quite significant extension of a large number of theorems obtained in the last forty years. This also includes new theorems for nonexpansive mappings.
