Summary:
W.A. Kirk in 1971 showed that if $T\colon C\to C$, where $C$ is a closed and convex subset of a Banach space, is $n$-periodic and uniformly $k$-lipschitzian mapping with $k<k_0(n)$, then $T$ has a fixed point. This result implies estimates of $k_0(n)$ for natural $n\geq 2$ for the general class of $k$-lipschitzian mappings. In these cases, $k_0(n)$ are less than or equal to 2. Using very simple method we extend this and later results for a certain subclass of the family of $k$-lipschitzian mappings. In the paper we show that $k_0(3)>2$ in any Banach space. We also show that $\operatorname{Fix}(T)$ is a Hölder continuous retract of $C$.
