Abstract
Let X be a Banach space, K a non-empty closed subset of X and T:K→X a mapping
satisfying the contractive definition (1.1) below and the condition T(∂K)⫅K. Then T has a unique
fixed point in K. This result improves Theorem of Rhoades [1] and generalizes the corresponding
theorem of Assad [2].
