Dhompongsa sompongd@ Received 24 December 2008 Accepted 6 May 2009 Recommended by Wataru Takahashi We consider the equivalence of the existence of fixed points of single-valued mappings and multivalued mappings for some classes of mappings by proving some equivalence theorems for the completeness of metric spaces.

Introduction The Banach contraction principle 1 states that for a complete metric space X d every contraction T on X that is for some r e 0 1 d Tx Ty rd x y for all x y e X has a unique fixed point. Connell 2 gave an example of a noncomplete metric space X on which every contraction on X has a fixed point. Thus contractions cannot characterize the metric completeness of X. Theorem see 3 Kannan . Let X d be a complete metric space. Let T be a Kannan mapping on X that is for some a e 0 1 2 d Tx Ty ad x Tx ad y Ty for all x y e X. Then T has a unique fixed point. Subrahmanyam 4 proved that Kannan mappings can be used to characterize the completeness of the metric. That is a metric space X is complete if and only if every Kannan mapping on X has a fixed point. In 2008 Suzuki 5 introduced a new type of mappings and presented a generalization of the Banach contraction principle in which the completeness can also be characterized by the existence of fixed points of these mappings. Define a .
