Moreover, if the second alternative holds, then i the sequence {Jnx} is convergent to a fixed point y∗ of J ; ii y∗ is the unique fixed point of J in the set Y : {y ∈ X | d J0x, y < ∞} and d y, y∗ ≤ 1/ 1 − L d y, Jy , for all , x, y ∈ Y . Following 30, 31 , we recall some basic facts concerning multi-normed spaces and some preliminary results. ...
