Function contraction theorem
Let (X, d) be a complete metric space.
Suppose that f: XX satisfies
d(f(x), f(y)) ≤ 2-¹d(x, y) for all x, y E X.
Show that there exists a unique point x* EX such that f(x*) = x*.
Problem 5 Hint:
i=0
Step 1. Let xo E X. Define a sequence {x} by the recurrence relation
xi = f(xi-1) for i=1,2,....
Step 2. Show that {x}
Step 3. Show that x* is the point of interest.
converges to a point x* by showing that it is Cauchy.
