On fixed point theorems for absolute retracts. (English) Zbl 0994.47053
In the paper under review a Schauder type fixed point theorem is proved. The assumption of compactness of the mapping is replaced by a much weaker condition. As a corollary a generalization of the Darbo-Sadovski fixed point theorem for $$\alpha _E$$-nonexpansive mappings is obtained ($$\alpha _E$$ denotes the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness). The results are illustrated by suitable examples and compared with some known results. The paper is concluded by some open problems.
