Abstract

It is shown that if X is a Banach space and C is a union of finitely many nonempty, pairwise disjoint, closed, and connected subsets {Ci:1in} of X, and each Ci has the fixed-point property (FPP) for asymptotically regular nonexpansive mappings, then any asymptotically regular nonexpansive self-mapping of C has a fixed point. We also generalize the Goebel-Schöneberg theorem to some Banach spaces with Opial's property.
