It has been an open problem to characterize posets P with the property that every order-preserving map on P has a fixed point. We give a characterization of such posets in terms of their retracts.

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 po
This paper settles a conjecture made in (Li [2]) that, if (PC: ~ ~< 2) is an ANTI-perfect sequence in a connected caccc poset having no one-way infinite fence, then either there are ~ < 2 and x e Pe\~+l such that Pc(> x) and P~(<x) are both fixed point free (fpf), in which case P is also fpf, or P h
In this paper, we show that the weak nearly uniform smooth Banach spaces have the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings.
