Abstract
In this paper we prove two fixed point theorems in compact cone metric
spaces over normal cones. The first theorem generalizes Edelstein theorem [8] and is different from the generalization obtained in [11]. The
second theorem generalizes the main result in [10] and the first theorem.
However, the two theorems fail in different categories. Moreover, different versions of the two theorems are proved in TVS-cone metric spaces
by making use of the nonlinear scalarization function used very recently
by Wei-Shih Du in [A note on cone metric fixed point theory and its
equivalence, Nonlinear Analysis,72(5),2259-2261 (2010).] to prove the
equivalence of the Banach contraction principle in cone metric spaces
and usual metric spaces
