We study the existence of fixed points and convergence of iterates for asymptotic pointwise contractions in uniformly convex metric spaces. We also study the existence of fixed points for setvalued nonexpansive mappings in the same class of spaces. Our results do not assume convexity of the metric which makes a big difference when studying the existence of fixed points for set-valued mappings. 1. Introduction This paper is motivated by the recent paper 1 . In 1 the authors study different questions related to fixed points of asymptotic pointwise contractive nonexpansive mappings in CAT 0 spaces. CAT 0 spaces are studied in 1 as a very significant example within the class of uniformly convex metric spaces the reader can consult 2 for details on CAT 0 spaces . In our present paper we propose to consider similar questions on uniformly convex metric spaces under the mildest additional conditions we may impose. More precisely we will work with uniformly convex metric spaces with either a monotone modulus of convexity in the sense first given in 3 or a lower semicontinuous from the right modulus of .
