In this paper a new class of self-mappings on metric spaces, which satisfy the nonexpensive type condition (3) below is introduced and investigated. The main result is that such mappings have a unique fixed point. Also, a remetrization theorem, which is converse to Banach contraction principle is given.
Let $C$ be a closed convex subset of a complete convex metric space $X$. In this paper a class of selfmappings on $C$, which satisfy the nonexpansive type condition $(2)$ below, is introduced and investigated. The main result is that such mappings have a unique fixed point.
