Abstract: Huang and Zhang reviewed cone metric spaces in 2007 [Huang Long-Guang, Zhang Xian, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2007) 1468–1476]. We shall prove that there are no normal cones with normal constant and for each there are cones with normal constant . Also, by providing non-normal cones and omitting the assumption of normality in some results of [Huang Long-Guang, Zhang Xian, Cone metric spaces and fixed point theorems of contractive mappings, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 332 (2007) 1468–1476], we obtain generalizations of the results. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

A well-known result of W. Ray asserts that if C is an unbounded convex subset of a Hilbert space, then there is a nonexpansive mapping T : C → C that has no fixed point. In this paper we establish some common fixed point properties for a semitopological semigroup S of nonexpansive mappings acting on a closed convex subset C of a Hilbert space, assuming that there is a point c ∈ C with a bounded orbit and assuming that certain subspace of C b ( S ) has a left invariant mean. Left invariant mean (or amenability) is an important notion in harmonic analysis of semigroups and groups introduced by von Neumann in 1929 [28] and formalized by Day in 1957 [5] . In our investigation we use the notion of common attractive points introduced recently by S. Atsushiba and W. Takahashi. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
