β¦ Synopsis
A strengthened form of the fixed point property for posets is presented, in which isotone functions are replaced by more general isotone relations. For finite posets, this 'relational fixed point property' turns out to be equivalent to dismantlability. But an example shows that not every infinite poset with the relational fixed point property is dismantlable. Applications to quotients and direct products are given.

We use a newly introduced concept of neocompactness to study problems from metric fixed point theory. In particular, we give a sufficient condition for a superreflexive Banach space X to have the fixed point property and obtain shorter proofs of some well-known results in that theory.  2002 Elsevie
