Necessary Conditions for a Fixed Point of Maps in Non-Metric Spaces ()
1. Introduction
Let X denote a complete (or compact) metric space and also
a continuous map of X onto Y, where Y is a bounded closed topological normal space with a countable base.
What must be the conditions, in the means of the meric space X, such that the continuous map
from Y onto Y will have a fixed point?
We suppose that (see [1-3]):
the continuous map
(not one to one) and the continuous map
are given and the continuous inverse map of f,
exists.

We remind that Banach contraction principle for multivalued maps is valid and also the next Theorem, proved by H. Covitz and S. B. Nadler Jr. (see [4]).
Theorem 1. Let
be a complete metric space and
a conraction map (
denotes the family of all nonempty closed bounded (compact) subsets of X). Then there exists
such that
.
2. Main Result
We consider now the next theorem:
Theorem 2. Let
denote a complete (or compact) metric space
and also:
a continuous map of
onto
, where
is a bounded closed topological normal space with a countable base.
We suppose also that the maps:
is continuous and onto.
and
exists and it is continuous.
If
is a point from
and if we suppose also that
.
Then if the rest terms of the sequence
are received from
and the rest of the terms of the sequence
are determined by
and if also
is a Cauchy sequence and therefore convergent to a fixed point
in
, then the sequence
will be also convergent to a fixed point
in
.
Proof. Let
is a point from
and let us suppose also that
and let the rest terms of the sequence
are received from
.
Let also the rest of the terms of the sequence
are determined by
.
If
is a Cauchy sequence then for any
there exists an integer
, such that for all integers i and k,
and
will be satisfied the inequality

and therefore the Cauchy sequence
will be convergent with a fixed point
in X, and because X is complete (or compact), i.e.

Since
and
and
is a continuous map and
is continuous map onto the closed and bounded space
, and also
and
, therefore the sequence
will be also convergent with a fixed point
in
, such that
and
, i.e.
