V. R. NAIDU Received 20 August 2003 and in revised form 24 February 2004 In metric spaces single-valued self-maps and multimaps with closed images are considered and fixed point and coincidence point theorems for such maps have been obtained without using the extended Hausdorff metric thereby generalizing many results in the literature including those on the famous conjecture of Reich on multimaps. 1. Introduction Many authors have been using the Hausdorff metric to obtain fixed point and coincidence point theorems for multimaps on a metric space. In most cases the metric nature of the Hausdorff metric is not used and the existence part of theorems can be proved without using the concept of Hausdorff metric under much less stringent conditions on maps. The aim of this paper is to illustrate this and to obtain fixed point and coincidence point theorems for multimaps with not necessarily bounded images. Incidentally we obtain improvements over the results of Chang 3 Daffer et al. 6 Jachymski 9 Mizoguchi and Takahashi 12 and Wegrzyk 17 on the famous conjecture of Reich on multimaps Conjecture . 2.
