We show that the recent result of Bełdzi ński et al. on continuous dependence of fixed points on parameters, which extends a classical parametrized version of the Banach fixed point theorem, may be treated as a particular case of the contraction principle for a Nemytskii operator on a space of continuous functions with values in a metric space. Next, we establish a generalization of the result of Bełdzi ński et al. involving an equicontinuous family of mappings having contractive pth iterates for some p ∈ N. As an application, we obtain a theorem on continuous dependence of solutions of Cauchy's problem on both the initial values and the parameters. Finally, we establish two remetrization theorems and we discuss a possibility of deriving our main result from the Banach contraction principle by using a remetrization of the space.
