Anderson (Concordia College, Moorhead, MN, USA) Richard I. Avery (Dakota State Univ., Madison, SD, USA) Johnny Henderson (Baylor University, Waco, TX, USA) Abstract: This paper presents a fixed point theorem of compression and expansion of functional type in the spirit of the original fixed point work of Leggett-Williams. Neither the entire lower nor the entire upper boundary is required to be mapped inward or outward. Submitted November 19, 2009. Published May 05, 2010. Math Subject Classifications: 47H10.
