Question 1 solution: We need to check the conditions:
1. f € C[0, 1]
2. f(x) = [0, 1] for all x = [0, 1]
3. f'(x) exists on (0, 1)
4. There exists a constant k € (0, 1) such that f'(x)| ≤ k for all x € (0, 1).
If all the above are met then, by the Fixed Point Theorem, the sequence will converge
to a unique fixed point of f.
For (a), (c)- clearly f is continuous, and f'(x) = -e* throughout (0, 1).
For (b), we can see that f(x) is decreasing throughout the interval by checking the
derivative: f'(x) < 0 for all x € (0, 1). Therefore f(x) is maximised at x = 0 and
minimised at x = 1, so
0 <
<= 1 € = = f(1) ≤ f(x) ≤ f(0) = 1
hence f(x) = [0, 1] for all x € [0, 1].
For (d),
(²^(x)) = ²1 e-tx;
page 1
if x € [0, 1],
hence we can choose k = 1.
Therefore all the conditions are satisfied and hence the sequence will converge to a
unique fixed point.
