Khamsi The concept of generalized contractive multimaps in the setting of metric spaces is introduced and the existence of fixed points for such maps is guaranteed under certain conditions. Consequently our results either generalize or improve a number of fixed point results including the corresponding recent fixed point results of Ciric 2008 Latif-Albar 2008 Klim-Wardowski 2007 and Feng-Liu 2006 . Examples are also given. Copyright 2009 A. Latif and A. A. N. Abdou.

Introduction and Preliminaries Let X d be a metric space 2X a collection of nonempty subsets of X CB X a collection of nonempty closed bounded subsets of X Cl X a collection of nonempty closed subsets of X K X a collection of nonempty compact subsets of X and H the Hausdorff metric induced by d. Then for any A B e CB X H A B max supd x B supd y A xeA yeB where d x BJ infyeBd x y . An element x e X is called a fixed point of a multivalued map T X 2X if x e T x . We denote Fix T x e X x e T x . A sequence xn in X is called an orbit of T at x0 e X if xn e T xn-1 for all n 1. A map f X R is called lower semicontinuous if for any sequence xn c X with xn x e X it implies that f x lim infn mf xn . 2 Fixed Point Theory
