To state fixed-point properties of such a mapping, the self-Jung constant $J_s(X)$ is used, which is defined as the supremum of the ratio $2\,r_{\conv S}(S)/\diam S$ over all non-empty, non-singleton and bounded subsets $S$ of some normed linear space $X$, where r_{\conv S}(S) = \inf_{x\in\conv S} \sup_{y\in S} \'x - y\' is the self-radius of $S$ and $\diam S$ is its diameter. If $M$ is a closed and convex subset of some finite-dimensional normed space $X$ and if $T: \, M \to M$ is $r$-roughly $k$-contractive, then for all $\e > 0$ there exists $x^* \in M$ such that

If $\dim X = 1$, or $X$ is some two-dimensional strictly convex normed space, or $X$ is some Euclidean space, then there is $x^* \in M$ satisfying \'x^* - Tx^*\' \le {1 \over 2}\,J_s(X)\,r.
