Common fixed point theorems for compatible self-maps of Hausdorff topological spaces

The concept of proper orbits of a map g is introduced and results of the following type are obtained. If a continuous self-map g of a Hausdorff topological space X has relatively compact proper orbits, then g has a fixed point. In fact, g has a common fixed point with every continuous self-map f of...
