Abstract

The use of K-normed spaces gives us the possibility of proving that a fixed point theorem due to B. D. Lou [Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 127 (1999), no. 8, 2259–2264; MR1646199 (99m:47065)] is equivalent to the Banach contraction principle. This confirms the conspiracy among fixed point theorems. Moreover, the theorem of Luo is improved and extended to different contexts. A counterexample about the fixed points of the sum of a contraction and an integral operator is given. The usefulness of the K-norm is tested on a Volterra integral equation as well
