摘 要: | In 1] Section 5.2, D.R. Smart gave a problem: Does every shrinking mappingof the closed unit ball in a Banach space have a fixed point? In this paper, we givea negative answer to this problem by constructing a counter-example. Definition Let (X,d) be a metric space and T a mapping of X into X. Wecall T a shrinking mapping if d(Tx,Tg)
