On the fixed points of nonexpansive mappings in modular metric spaces

The notion of a modular metric on an arbitrary set and the corresponding modular spaces, generalizing classical modulars over linear spaces like Orlicz spaces, have been recently introduced. In this paper we investigate the existence of fixed points of modular nonexpansive mappings. We also discuss some compactness properties of the family of admissible sets in modular metric spaces with uniform normal structure property.
