The clever limerick statement by dilip sequeira and the splendid proof rejoinder of michael fryers. In mathematics, a contraction mapping, or contraction or contractor, on a metric space m, d is a function f from m to itself, with the property that there is some nonnegative real number. Lectures on some fixed point theorems of functional analysis. Part a shows that the inverse of f on u is indeed a function, and part b further proves that the inverse g is continuously di.

That is, given an initial guess x 0 at a solution, there is a function t such that x 1. This is also called the contraction mapping theorem. The next example extends the example just considered to the in. We do not present the most general or strongest version of this theorem, but a version that admits a straightforward proof using the contraction mapping. Advanced mathematical techniques in chemical engineering by prof. Economics 204 summerfall 2011 lecture wednesday august 10, 2011 section 5. Every contraction in a complete metric space admits a unique xed point. For example, the schauder fixed point theorem states that a continuous mapping on a convex, compact subset of a banach space has a fixed point. In particular, the closure condition is often awkward to verify.
