For a bounded closed convex set K, in this note, we study the FPP for α-Hölder nonexpansive maps, i.e. mappings T : K → K for which T x − T y ≤ x − y α for all x, y ∈ K, α ∈ (0, 1). First, we note that only finite-dimensional spaces have the Hölder-FPP. Moreover, the unit ball B X of any infinite-dimensional space fails the FPP for Hölder maps with d(T, B X ) > 0, where d(T, K) denotes the minimal displacement of T . We further show that reflexivity and weak sequential continuity are sufficient conditions to capture fixed points of Hölder-Lipschitz maps with bounded orbits. Next we focus on the existence of fixed point free α-Hölder maps T : K → K with d(T, K) ≤ ϕ(α) where either ϕ(α) = 0 or ϕ(α) → 0 as α → 1. Interesting results are obtained for the spaces c, c 0 and ℓ 1 , and also for L p -spaces with p ∈ {1, ∞}. We also study the problem in spaces containing copies of c 0 and ℓ 1 . Some questions are left open.
