LetK be a nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex subset of a Banach space We show
that the iterates of a typical element (in the sense of Baire’s categories) of a class of con-tinuous self-mappings ofK converge uniformly on K to the unique fixed point of this
typical element
1 Introduction
LetK be a nonempty, bounded, closed, and convex subset of a Banach space (X, · ).
We consider the topological subspaceK ⊂ X with the relative topology induced by the
norm · Set
diam(K) =sup
x − y :x, y ∈ K
Denote byᏭ the set of all continuous mappings A : K → K which have the following
property:
(P1) for each > 0, there exists x ∈ K such that
For eachA,B ∈Ꮽ, set
d(A,B) =sup
Ax − Bx :x ∈ K
Clearly, the metric space (Ꮽ,d) is complete.
In this paper, we use the concept of porosity [1,2,3,4,5,6] which we now recall Let (Y,ρ) be a complete metric space We denote by B(y,r) the closed ball of center
y ∈ Y and radius r > 0 A subset E ⊂ Y is called porous in (Y,ρ) if there exist α ∈(0, 1) andr0> 0 such that for each r ∈(0,r0] and eachy ∈ Y, there exists z ∈ Y for which

Trang 2A subset of the spaceY is called σ-porous in (Y,ρ) if it is a countable union of porous
subsets in (Y,ρ).
Since porous sets are nowhere dense, allσ-porous sets are of the first category If Y is
a finite-dimensional Euclidean spaceRn, thenσ-porous sets are of Lebesgue measure 0.
To point out the difference between porous and nowhere dense sets, note that if E ⊂ Y
is nowhere dense,y ∈ Y, and r > 0, then there are a point z ∈ Y and a number s > 0 such
thatB(z,s) ⊂ B(y,r) \ E If, however, E is also porous, then for small enough r, we can
chooses = αr, where α ∈(0, 1) is a constant which depends only onE.
Our purpose in this paper is to establish the following result
Theorem 1.1 There exists a setᏲ⊂ Ꮽ such that the complement Ꮽ \ Ᏺ is σ-porous in
(Ꮽ,d) and each A∈ Ᏺ has the following properties:
(i) there exists a unique fixed point x A ∈ K such that
A n x −→ x A as n −→ ∞, uniformly ∀ x ∈ K; (1.5) (ii) Ax − x A ≤ x − x A for all x ∈ K;
(iii) for each > 0, there exist a natural number n and δ > 0 such that for each integer
p ≥ n, each x ∈ K, and each B ∈ Ꮽ satisfying d(B,A) ≤ δ,
2 Auxiliary result
In this section, we present and prove an auxiliary result which will be used in the proof
ofTheorem 1.1inSection 3
Proposition 2.1 Let A ∈ Ꮽ and ∈ (0, 1) Then there exist ¯ x ∈ K and B ∈ Ꮽ such that
d(A,B) ≤ ,
¯x − Bx ≤ ¯x − x ∀ x ∈ K. (2.1) Proof Choose a positive number
0 < 8 −12
diam(K) + 1−1
SinceA ∈ Ꮽ, there exists ¯x ∈ K such that
Ax − ¯x ≤ x − ¯x+0 ∀ x ∈ K. (2.3) Letx ∈ K There are three cases:
Ax − ¯x ≥ , Ax − ¯x < x − ¯x; (2.5)
Ax − ¯x ≥ , Ax − ¯x ≥ x − ¯x (2.6) First, we consider case (2.4) There exists an open neighborhoodV xofx in K such that
Trang 3Defineψ x:V x → K by
Clearly, for ally ∈ V x,
0=ψ
x(y) − ¯x ≤ y − ¯x, Ay − ψ
x(y) = Ay − ¯x < (2.9) Consider now case (2.5) SinceA is continuous, there exists an open neighborhood V xof
x in K such that
Ay − ¯x < y − ¯x ∀ y ∈ V x (2.10)
In this case, we defineψ x:V x → K by
Finally, we consider case (2.6) Inequalities (2.6), (2.2), and (2.3) imply that
x − ¯x ≥ Ax − ¯x − 0 >7
For eachγ ∈[0, 1], set
By (2.13), (2.6), and (2.12), we have
z(0) − ¯x =0, z(1) − ¯x = Ax − ¯x ≥ x − ¯x >7

By (2.2) and (2.14), there existsγ0∈(0, 1) such that

It now follows from (2.13), (2.15), and (2.3) that

Defineψ x:V x → K by
ψ x(y) = z

It is not difficult to see that in all three cases, we have defined an open neighborhood V x
ofx in K and a continuous mapping ψ x:V x → K such that for each y ∈ V x,
Ay − ψ x(y)< , ¯x − ψ x(y) ≤ y − ¯x (2.23) Since the metric spaceK with the metric induced by the norm is paracompact, there
exists a continuous locally finite partition of unity{ φ i } i∈IonK subordinated to { V x } x∈K, where eachφ i:K →[0, 1],i ∈ I, is a continuous function such that for each y ∈ K, there
is a neighborhoodU of y in K such that
U ∩supp
φ i
(2.24) only for a finite number ofi ∈ I;
i∈I
and for eachi ∈ I, there is x i ∈ K such that
supp
φ i
Here, supp(φ) is the closure of the set { x ∈ K : φ(x) 0} Define
Bz =
i∈I
φ i(z)ψ x i(z), z ∈ K. (2.27)
Clearly,B : K → K is well defined and continuous.
Letz ∈ K There are a neighborhood U of z in K and i1, ,i n ∈ I such that

ip(z)< , ¯x − ψ x

3 Proof of Theorem 1.1
For eachC ∈ Ꮽ and x ∈ K, set C0x = x For each natural number n, denote by Ᏺ nthe set
of allA ∈Ꮽ which have the following property:
(P2) there exist ¯x ∈ K, a natural number q, and a positive number δ > 0 such that
¯x − Ax ≤ ¯x − x +n −1 ∀ x ∈ K, (3.1) and such that, for eachB ∈ Ꮽ satisfying d(B,A) ≤ δ, and each x ∈ K,
Define
Ᏺ= ∩ ∞
Lemma 3.1 Let A ∈ Ᏺ Then there exists a unique fixed point x A ∈ K such that
(i)A n x → x A as n → ∞ , uniformly on K;
(ii)
Trang 6(iii) for each > 0, there exist a natural number q and δ > 0 such that, for each B ∈Ꮽ
satisfying d(B,A) ≤ δ, each x ∈ K, and each integer i ≥ q,
Proof Let n be a natural number Since A ∈Ᏺ⊂Ᏺn, it follows from (P2) that there exist
x n ∈ K, an integer q n ≥1, and a numberδ n ≥0 such that
x n − Ax ≤ x n − x+n −1 ∀ x ∈ K, (3.6) and we have the following property:
(P3) for eachB ∈ Ꮽ satisfying d(B,A) ≤ δ n, and eachx ∈ K,
B q n x − x n ≤ 1
Property (P3) implies that for eachx ∈ K, A q n x − x n ≤1/n This fact implies, in turn,
that for eachx ∈ K,
A i x − x n ≤1
n for any integeri ≥ q n (3.8) Sincen is any natural number, we conclude that for each x ∈ K, { A i x } ∞
i=1 is a Cauchy sequence and there exists limi→∞ A i x Inequality (3.8) implies that for eachx ∈ K,
lim
i→∞ A i x − x n
Sincen is again an arbitrary natural number, we conclude further that lim i→∞ A i x does
not depend onx Hence, there is x A ∈ K such that
x A =lim
By (3.9) and (3.10),
x A − x n ≤1
Inequalities (3.11) and (3.6) imply that for eachx ∈ K,
Ax − x A ≤ Ax − x n+x n − x A ≤1
n+Ax − x n ≤1
n+x − x n+1

(3.12)
so that
Ax − x A ≤ x − x A+3
Trang 7Sincen is an arbitrary natural number, we conclude that
Ax − x A ≤ x − x A for eachx ∈ K. (3.14)
Let > 0 Choose a natural number
n >8
Property (P3) implies that
B i x − x n ≤1
for eachx ∈ K, each integer i ≥ q n, and eachB ∈ Ꮽ satisfying d(B,A) ≤ δ n Inequalities (3.16), (3.11), and (3.15) imply that for eachB ∈ Ꮽ satisfying d(B,A) ≤ δ n, eachx ∈ K,
and each integeri ≥ q n,
B i x − x A ≤ B i x − x n+x n − x A ≤1

Completion of the proof of Theorem 1.1 In order to complete the proof of this theorem,
it is sufficient, byLemma 3.1, to show that for each natural numbern, the set Ꮽ \Ᏺnis porous in (Ꮽ,d).
Letn be a natural number Choose a positive number
α < (16n) −12−1

ByProposition 2.1, there existA0∈ Ꮽ and ¯x ∈ K such that

Define ¯A : K → K by
¯
Trang 8Clearly, the mapping ¯A is continuous and, for each x ∈ K,
Ax¯ − ¯x =(1− γ)A0x + γ ¯x − ¯x =(1− γ)A0x − ¯x ≤(1− γ) x − ¯x (3.25) Thus, ¯A ∈Ꮽ Relations (1.3), (3.24), (1.1), (3.22), and (3.25) imply that
d¯
A,A0
=supAx¯ − A0x:x ∈ K

γ¯x − A0x:x ∈ K

Together with (3.20), this implies that
d( ¯ A,A) ≤ d¯
A,A0
+d
A0,A

Assume now that
B, ¯ A
Then (3.28), (3.18), and (3.25) imply that for eachx ∈ K,
Bx − ¯x ≤ Bx − Ax¯ +Ax¯ − ¯x ≤ x − ¯x+αr ≤ x − ¯x+1
In addition, (3.28), (3.27), and (3.18) imply that
d(B,A) ≤ d(B, ¯ A) + d( ¯ A,A) ≤ αr + r
4≤ r
Assume that x ∈ K We will show that there exists an integer j ∈[0,q] such that
B j x − ¯x ≤(8n) −1 Assume the contrary Then
B i x − ¯x> (8n) −1, i =0, ,q. (3.31) Let an integeri ∈ {0, ,q −1} By (3.28) and (3.25),
B i+1 x − ¯x = B
B i x
− ¯x ≤ B
B i x
− A¯
B i x+A¯
B i x
− ¯x
≤ d(B, ¯ A) +A¯
B i x
− ¯x ≤ αr + (1 − γ)B i x − ¯x,
When combined with (3.31), (3.18), and (3.22), this inequality implies that
B i x − ¯x − B i+1 x − ¯x ≥ B i x − ¯x − αr −(1− γ)B i x − ¯x
= γB i x − ¯x − αr > (8n) −1γ − αr ≥(16n) −1γ, (3.33)
so that
B i x − ¯x − B i+1 x − ¯x ≥(16n) −1γ. (3.34)
Trang 9When combined with (1.1), this inequality implies that
diam(K) ≥ x − ¯x −B q x − ¯x ≥ q− 1
i=0
B i x − ¯x − B i+1 x − ¯x ≥ q(16n) −1γ,
q ≤diam(K)16n
γ ,
(3.35)
a contradiction (see (3.22) and (3.23)) The contradiction we have reached shows that there exists an integer j ∈ {0, ,q −1}such that
B j x − ¯x ≤(8n) −1. (3.36)
It follows from (3.28) and (3.25) that for each integeri ∈ {0, ,q −1},
B i+1 x − ¯x = B
B i x
− ¯x ≤ B
B i x
− A¯
B i x+A¯
B i x
− ¯x
≤ d( ¯ A,B) +A¯
B i x
− ¯x ≤ αr +B i x − ¯x,
This implies that for each integers satisfying j < s ≤ q,
B s x − ¯x ≤ B j x − ¯x+αr(s − j) ≤B j x − ¯x+αrq. (3.38)
It follows from (3.36), (3.38), (3.23), and (3.18) that
B q x − ¯x ≤ αrq + (8n) −1≤(2n) −1. (3.39) Thus, we have shown that the following property holds: for eachB satisfying (3.28) and eachx ∈ K,
B q x − ¯x ≤(2n) −1, Bx − ¯x ≤ x − ¯x+1
(see (3.29)) Thus
B ∈ Ꮽ : d(B, ¯A) ≤ αr
2
⊂Ᏺn ∩B ∈ Ꮽ : d(B,A) ≤ r
In other words, we have shown that the setᏭ\Ᏺnis porous in (Ꮽ,d) This completes the proof ofTheorem 1.1
