Projection invariance of fixed points for sunny nonexpansive retractions

About 11 years old · traced to

Let EE be a smooth and uniformly convex Banach space of dimension two. Let K⊆EK\subseteq E be nonempty, closed, bounded, and convex, and let f ⁣:K→Ef\colon K\to E be nonexpansive with Fix⁡(f)≠∅\operatorname{Fix}(f)\neq\emptyset. Let P ⁣:E→KP\colon E\to K be the sunny nonexpansive retraction onto KK. Projection invariance conjecture. One has

Fix⁡(P∘f)=Fix⁡(f).\operatorname{Fix}(P\circ f)=\operatorname{Fix}(f).

The claim would justify replacing a Hilbert-space projection by a sunny nonexpansive retraction in the fixed-point argument. The source presents it as an unresolved question and supplies no proof or disproof, so it remains open.
