Abstract: We introduce the notion of $J$-continuity, which generalizes both continuity and the hypothesis in the Generalized Banach Contraction Conjecture, and prove that any $J$-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.
