We show some geometric conditions on a Banach space X concerning the Jordan-von Neumann
constant, Zb
˘
aganu constant, characteristic of separation noncompact convexity, and the
coefficient R1, X, the weakly convergent sequence coefficient, which imply the existence of fixed
points for multivalued nonexpansive mappings.

It is known that AC, {x

we have the following results:

} which is
regular relative to C;
2Kirk 11 if C is separable, then {x

cally uniform relative to C.

In 2006, Dhompongsa et al. 3 introduced the Domnguez-Lorenzo condition DL
condition, in short in the following way.
Definition 2.1 see 3. We say that a Banach space X satisfies the DL condition if there
Theorem 2.2 see 3. Let C be a weakly compact convex subset of Banach space X;ifC satisfies
(DL) condition, then multivalued nonexpansive mapping T : C → KCC has a fixed point.

Definition 2.3 see 4. A Banach space X is said to have property D if there exists λ ∈ 0, 1
such that for every weakly compact convex subset C of X and for every sequence {x
n
}⊂C
and for every {y
n
}⊂AC, {x
n
} which are regular asymptotically uniform relative to C,

It was observed that property D is weaker than the DL condition and stronger
than weak normal structure, and Dhompongsa et al. 4 proved that property D implies the

ultrafilter if it is maximal with respect to the set inclusion. An ultrafilter is called trivial if it is

Proof. Denote r rC, {x

bounded and C is a weakly compact set, by passing through a subsequence if necessary, we
can also assume that x

X < WCSX and let T : C → KCC be a nonexpansive mapping. Then T has a fixed

Noticing WCSX ≥ 1, obviously, Corollary 3.11 extends the following well-known
result.

reflexive Banach space X such that ε
β
X < 1 and let T : C → KCC be a nonexpansive mapping.
Then T has a fixed point.
