• Normal structure
• Nonexpansive mappings
• Fixed points
• Diminishing orbital diameters
• Orbitally nonexpansive mappings
• Strictly contractive mappings

In some sense all of the results discussed in this paper are an outgrowth of the concept of 'normal structure' introduced by Brodslcii and Milman in 1948 and following related idea introduced by Belluce and Kirk in 1969. A mapping T of a metric space K into itself is said to have 'diminishing orbital diameters' if given any x is an element of K it is the case that
(n ->infinity)lim diam (O(T-m (x))) < diam (O(x))
whenever diam (O(x)) > 0, where O(x) = {x,T (a),T-2 (x), ...}. Among other things Belluce and Kirk observed that the assumption of diminishing orbital diameters on a mapping T : K -> K is sufficient to assure that T has a fixed point if T is nonexpansive and if K is a weakly compact convex subset of a Banach space. It was later shown by Kirk that the convexity assumption on K can be dropped. The purpose of this discussion is to illustrate how the above ideas are related to a number of similar ones that have been introduced more recently. Among these is the following concept introduced recently by Amini-Harandi, et al. A mapping T : K -> K of a subset K of a Banach space is said to be nonexpansive tort orbits if for all x, y is an element of K,
parallel to T(x) - T(y)parallel to <= r(x) (O(y))
where
r(x) (O(y)) = sup {parallel to x-u parallel to : u is an element of O (y)}.
It is shown that if K is a weakly compact subset of a Banach space and if T : K K is nonexpansive wrt orbits then the following condition always assures the existence of a fixed point for T: For each x is an element of K with T (x) not equal x,
inf(m is an element of N) {lim sup (n ->infinity) parallel to T-m (x) - T-m (x)parallel to} < diam (O(x)). Some open questions are also discussed.
