In the paper by Olaleru and Akewe 2007 the authors tried to generalize Gregus fixed point theorem. In this paper we give a counterexample on their main statement. 1. Introduction Let X be a Banach space and C be a closed convex subset of X. In 1980 Gregus 1 proved the following results. Theorem . Let T C C be a mapping satisfying the inequality Tx - Ty a x - y b x - Tx c y - Ty M for all x y e C where 0 a 1 b c 0 and a b c 1. Then T has a unique fixed point. Several papers have been written on the Gregus fixed point theorem. For example see 2-6 . We can combine the Gregus condition by the following inequality where T is a mapping on metric space X d d Tx Ty ad x y bd x Tx cd y Ty ed y Tx fd x Ty for all x y e X where 0 a 1 b c e f 0 and a b c e f 1. 2 Fixed Point Theory and Applications Definition . Let X be a topological vector space on K C or R . The mapping F X R is said to be an F-norm such that for all x y e X i F x 0 ii F x 0 x 0 iii F x y F x F y iv F Ax F x for all A e K with A 1 v if An 0 and An e K then FfAnx 0. In 2007 Olaleru and Akewe 7 considered the existence of fixed point of T when T is defined on a closed convex subset C of a complete metrizable topological vector space X and satisfies condition and extended the Gregus fixed point. Theorem . Let C be a closed .
