We prove two general fixed theorems for maps in G-metric spaces and then show that these maps satisfy property P . 1. Introduction Metric fixed point theory is an important mathematical discipline because of its applications in areas such as variational and linear inequalities optimization and approximation theory. Generalizations of metric spaces were proposed by Gahler 1 2 called 2-metric spaces and Dhage 3 4 called D-metric spaces . Hsiao 5 showed that for every contractive definition with xn Tnx0 every orbit is linearly dependent thus rendering fixed point theorems in such spaces trivial. Unfortunately it was shown that certain theorems involving Dhage s D-metric spaces are flawed and most of the results claimed by Dhage and others are invalid. These errors were pointed out by Mustafa and Sims in 6 among others. They also introduced a valid generalized metric space structure which they call G-metric spaces. Some other papers dealing with G-metric spaces are those in 7-11 . Let T be a self-map of a complete metric space X d with a nonempty fixed point set F T . Then T is said to satisfy property P if F T F Tn for each n e N. An interesting fact about maps satisfying property P
