In this paper, we introduce the notion of ε-contractive maps in fuzzy metric space (X, M, ∗) and study the periodicities of ε-contractive maps. We show that if (X, M, ∗) is compact and f : X −→ X is ε-contractive, then P(f) = ∩ ∞n=1f n (X) and each connected component of X contains at most one periodic point of f, where P(f) is the set of periodic points of f. Furthermore, we present two examples to illustrate the applicability of the obtained results.
