We show some geometric conditions on a Banach space X concerning the Jordan-von Neumann
constant, Zb˘aganu constant, characteristic of separation noncompact convexity, and the coefficient R1, X, the weakly convergent sequence coefficient, which imply the existence of fixed points for multivalued nonexpansive mappings
1 Introduction
Fixed point theory for multivalued mappings has many useful applications in Applied Sciences, in particular, in game theory and mathematical economics Thus it is natural to try of extending the known fixed point results for single-valued mappings to the setting of multivalued mappings
In 1969, Nadler 1 established the multivalued version of Banach’s contraction principle One of the most celebrated results about multivalued mappings was given by Lim2 in 1974 Using Edelstein’s method of asymptotic centers, he proved the existence
of a fixed point for a multivalued nonexpansive self-mapping T : C → KC where C is a
nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a uniformly convex Banach space Since then the metric fixed point theory of multivalued mappings has been rapidly developed Some other classical fixed point theorems for single-valued mappings have been extended to multivalued mappings However, many questions remain open, for instance, the possibility of extending the well-known Kirk’s theorem, that is, do Banach spaces with weak normal structure have the fixed point propertyFPP, in short for multivalued nonexpansive mappings?
Since weak normal structure is implied by different geometrical properties of Banach spaces, it is natural to study if those properties imply the FPP for multivalued mappings
Trang 2Dhompongsa et al.3,4 introduced the Domnguez-Lorenzo condition DL condition, in short and property D which imply the FPP for multivalued nonexpansive mappings
A possible approach to the above problem is to look for geometric conditions in a Banach space X which imply either theDL condition or property D In this setting the following results have been obtained
1 Dhompongsa et al 3 proved that uniformly nonsquare Banach spaces with property WORTH satisfy theDL condition
2 Dhompongsa et al 4 showed that the condition
C NJ X < 1 WCSX2
implies propertyD
3 Satit Saejung 5 proved that the condition ε0X < WCSX implies property D.
4 Gavira 6 showed that the condition
JX < 1 R1, X1 1.2
impliesDL condition
In 2007, Dom´ınguez Benavides and Gavira 7 have established FFP for multivalued nonexpansive mappings in terms of the modulus of squareness, universal
infinite-dimension-al modulus, and Opia modulus Attapol Kaewkhao8 has established FFP for multivalued nonexpansive mappings in terms of the James constant, the Jordan-von Neumann Constants, weak orthogonality
Besides, In 2010, Dom´ınguez Benavides and Gavira 9 have given a survey of this subject and presented the main known results and current research directions
In this paper, in terms of the Jordan-von Neumann constant, Zb˘aganu constant, ε β X
and the coefficient R1, X, the weakly convergent sequence coefficient, we show some geometrical properties which imply the propertyD or DL condition and so the FPP for multivalued nonexpansive mappings
2 Preliminaries
Let X be a Banach space and C be a nonempty subset of X; we denote all nonempty bounded closed subsets of X by CBX and all nonempty compact convex subsets of X by KCX.
A multivalued mapping T : C → CBX is said to be nonexpansive if the inequality
H
Tx, Ty
≤x − y 2.1
holds for every x, y ∈ C, where H·, · is the Hausdorff distance on CBX, that is,
HA, B : max
sup
x∈A
inf
y∈Bx − y, sup
y∈B
inf
x∈Ax − y, A, B ∈ CBX. 2.2
Trang 3Let C ⊂ X be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset and {x n } ∈ X a bounded sequence; we use rC, {x n } and AC, {x n} to denote the asymptotic radius and the asymptotic center of{x n } in C, respectively, that is,
r C, {x n} inf
lim sup
n
x n − x : x ∈ C
,
AC, {x n}
x ∈ C : lim sup
n
x n − x rC, {x n}
.
2.3
It is known that AC, {x n } is a nonempty weakly compact convex as C is.
Let{x n } and C be as above; then {x n } is called regular relative to C if rC, {x n}
rC, {x n i } for all subsequence {x n i } of {x n }; further, {x n} is called asymptotically uniform
relative to C if AC, {x n } AC, {x n i } for all subsequence {x n i } of {x n} In Banach spaces,
we have the following results:
1 Goebel 10 and Lim 2 there always exists a subsequence of {x n} which is
regular relative to C;
2 Kirk 11 if C is separable, then {x n} contains a subsequence which is
asymptoti-cally uniform relative to C.
If D is a bounded subset of X, the Chebyshev radius of D relative to C is defined by
r C D inf
y∈D
x − y. 2.4
In 2006, Dhompongsa et al.3 introduced the Domnguez-Lorenzo condition DL condition, in short in the following way
Definition 2.1 see 3 We say that a Banach space X satisfies the DL condition if there exists λ ∈ 0, 1 such that for every weakly compact convex subset C of X and for every
bounded sequence{x n } in C which is regular with respect to C,
r C AC, {x n } ≤ λrC, {x n }. 2.5
TheDL condition implies weak normal structure 3 We recll that a Banach space X
is said to have a weak normal structurew-NS if for every weakly compact convex subset C
of X with diamC : sup{x − y : x, y ∈ C} > 0 there exist x ∈ C such that sup{x − y : y ∈ C} < diamC.
The DL condition also implies the existence of fixed points for multivalued nonexpansive mappings
Theorem 2.2 see 3 Let C be a weakly compact convex subset of Banach space X; if C satisfies (DL) condition, then multivalued nonexpansive mapping T : C → KCC has a fixed point.
Trang 4Definition 2.3see 4 A Banach space X is said to have property D if there exists λ ∈ 0, 1 such that for every weakly compact convex subset C of X and for every sequence {x n } ⊂ C
and for every{y n } ⊂ AC, {x n } which are regular asymptotically uniform relative to C,
r
C,
y n ≤ λrC, {x n }. 2.6
It was observed that propertyD is weaker than the DL condition and stronger than weak normal structure, and Dhompongsa et al.4 proved that property D implies the w-MFPP
Theorem 2.4 see 4 Let C be a weakly compact convex subset of Banach space X; if C satisfies property (D), then multivalued nonexpansive mapping T : C → KCC has a fixed point.
Before going to the results, let us recall some more definitions Let X be a Banach space The Benavides coefficient R1, X is defined by Dom´ınguez Benavides [ 12 ] as
R1, X sup
lim inf
where the supremum is taken over all x ∈ X with X ≤ 1 and all weakly null sequence {x n } in B X
such that
Dx n : lim sup
n → ∞
lim sup
Obviously, 1 ≤ R1, X ≤ 2.
The weakly convergent sequence coefficient WCSX is equivalently defined by see
13
WCSX inf
lim
lim supn x n
where the infimum is taken over all weakly not strongly null sequences {x n} with limn / m x n − x m existing
The ultrapower of a Banach space has proved to be useful in many branches of mathematics Many results can be seen more easily when treated in this setting
First we recall some basic facts about ultrapowers LetF be a filter on an index set N
and let X be a Banach space A sequence x n in X convergers to x with respect to F, denoted by
limFxn x, if for each neighborhood U of x, {i ∈ I : x i ∈ U} ∈ F A filter U on N is called an
ultrafilter if it is maximal with respect to the set inclusion An ultrafilter is called trivial if it is
of the form{A ⊂ N, i0∈ A} for some fixed i0∈ N; otherwise, it is called nontrivial Let l∞X
denote the subspace of the product spaceΠi∈N X iequipped with the norm
x n : sup
n∈N
x n < ∞. 2.10
Trang 5LetU be an ultrafilter on N and let
NU x n ∈ l∞X : lim
U x n 0
The ultrapower of X, denoted by X, is the quotient space l∞X/NU equipped with the quotient norm Writex nU to denote the elements of ultrapower It follows from the definition of the quotient norm that
x nU lim
U x n . 2.12
Note that ifU is nontrivial, then X can be embedded into X isometrically For more

Theorem 3.1 Let X be a Banach space and C a weakly compact convex subset of X Assume that
{x n } is a bounded sequence in C which is regulary relative to C Then

2C NJ X
R1, X 1 rC, {x n }. 3.2
Proof Denote r rC, {x n } and A AC, {x n } We can assume that r > 0 Since {x n } ⊂ C is bounded and C is a weakly compact set, by passing through a subsequence if necessary, we can also assume that x n converges weakly to some element in x ∈ C and d lim n / m x n − x m exists We note that since{x n } is regular, rC, {x n } rC, {y n } for any subsequence {y n} of
{x n} Observe that, since the norm is weak lower semicontinuity, we have

Let η > 0; taking a subsequence if necessary, we can assume that x n − x < d η for all n Let z ∈ A Then we have lim sup n x n −z r and x−z ≤ lim inf n x n −z ≤ r Denote

Hence we deduce the desired inequality
By Theorems2.2and3.1, we have the following result
Corollary 3.2 Let C be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a Banach space X such that
C NJ X < 1/R1, X 12/2 and T : C → KCC a nonexpansive mapping Then T has a fixed point.
Proof since R1, X ≥ 1, if C NJ X < 1/R1, X 12
/2, then we have C NJ X < 2 which implies that X is uniformly nonsquare; hence X is reflexive Thus by Theorems2.2and3.1, the result follows
Remark 3.3 Note that JX2/2 ≤ C NJ X; it is easy to see that Theorem 3.1 includes

To characterize Hilbert space, Zb˘aganu defined the following Zb˘aganu constant:see

C Z X supx yx − y
x2y2 : x, y ∈ X, x y> 0. 3.10
We first give the following tool
Proposition 3.4 C Z X C Z X.
Proof Clearly, C Z X ≤ C Z X To show C Z X ≤ C Z X, suppose x, y ∈ X are not all zero.
Without loss of generality, we assumex a > 0.
Let us choose η ∈ 0, a Since x limUx n a and

the set A : {n ∈ N : |c n − c| < η and|x n − a| < η} belongs to U In particular, noticing that
x n / 0 for n ∈ A, there exists n such that
x yx y
x2y2 < x n y nx n − y n

3.12
Hence, the inequality C Z X ≤ C Z X follows from the arbitrariness of η.

UsingTheorem 2.2, we obtain the following corollary
Corollary 3.6 Let C be a nonempty weakly compact convex subset of a Banach space X such that
C Z X < 1 1/R1, X2/2 and let T : C → KCC be a nonexpansive mapping Then T has a fixed point.
In the following, we present some properties concerning geometrical constants of Banach spaces which also imply the propertyD
Theorem 3.7 Let X be a Banach space If C Z X < WCSX; then X has property (D).
Proof Let C be a weakly compact convex subset of X; suppose that {x n } ⊂ C and {y n} ⊂
AC, {x n } are regular and asymptotically uniform relative to C Passing to a subsequence of {y n }, still denoted by {y n }, we may assume that y n −→ y w 0∈ C and d lim n / m y n −y m exists
Let r rC, {x n } Again passing to a subsequence of {x n }, still denoted by {x n}, we assume in addition that

u2 v2 ≥ d
Since the Zb˘aganu constants of X and of X are the same, we obtain C Z X ≥ d/r Now
we estimate d as follows:
d lim

3.22
Hence rC, {y n } ≤ C Z X/WCSXrC, {x n} and the assertion follows by the definition
of propertyD
Using Theorems2.4and3.7, we obtain the follwing corollary
Corollary 3.8 Let C be a nonempty bounded closed convex subset of a reflexive Banach space X such
that C Z X < WCSX and let T : C → KCC be a nonexpansive mapping Then T has a fixed point.
The separation measure of noncompactness is defined by
βB sup ε : there exists a sequence {x n }in B such that sep{x n } ≥ ε 3.23
for any bounded subset B of a Banach space X, where
sep{xn} inf{x n − x m : n / m}. 3.24
The modulus of noncompact convexity associated to β is defined in the following way:
ΔX,β ε inf 1− d0, A : A ⊂ B X is convex, βA ≥ ε 3.25
Trang 10The characteristic of noncompact convexity of X associated with the measure of noncompactness β is defined by
ε β X sup ε ≥ 0 : Δ X,β ε 0 3.26
When X is a reflexive Banach space, we have the following alternative expression for the modulus of noncompact convexity associated with β,
ε β X inf
1− x : {x n } ⊂ B X , x w − lim
n x n , sep{x n } ≥ ε
. 3.27
It is known that X is NUC if and only if ε β X 0 The above-mentioned definitions and
properties can be found in17
Theorem 3.9 Let X be a reflexive Banach space If ε β X < WCSX, then X has property (D) Proof Let C be a weakly compact convex subset of X; suppose that {x n } ⊂ C and {y j} ⊂
AC, {x n } are regular and asymptotically uniform relative to C Passing to a subsequence of {y j }, still denoted by {y j }, we may assume that y j −→ y w 0∈ C and d lim k / l y k − y l exists
Let r rC, {x n}
Since{y0, y j } ⊂ AC, {x n}, we have
lim sup
n
x n − y0 r, lim sup

x n − y j r, ∀j ∈ N. 3.28
So for any η ≥ 0, there exists N ∈ N such that x N − y0 ≥ r − η and x N − y i ≤ r η, for all
j ∈ N.
Without loss of generality, we suppose thaty k − y l ≥ d − η for all k / l Now we
consider sequence{x N − y j /r η} ⊂ B X; notice that
