Abstract :
It is shown that a closed convex bounded subset of a Banach space is weakly compact if and only if it has the generic fixed point property for continuous affine mappings. The class of continuous affine mappings can be replaced by the class of affine mappings which are uniformly Lipschitzian with some constant M>1 in the case of c0, the class of affine mappings which are uniformly Lipschitzian with some constant M>6 in the case of quasi-reflexive James’ space J and the class of nonexpansive affine mappings in the case of L-embedded spaces.
