On Downing-Kirk’s theorem.(English)Zbl 1042.47036

The author uses the notion of $$\tau$$-distance introduced by him [ibid. 253, 440–458 (2001; Zbl 0983.54034)] to derive a variant of Caristi’s fixed point theorem [D. Downing and W. A. Kirk, Pac. J. Math. 69, 339–346 (1977; Zbl 0357.47036)]. There is no indication why this result should be interesting.
