Define a contraction mapping and state the contraction mapping theorem.
Let be a non-empty complete metric space and let be a map. Set and . Assume that for some integer is a contraction mapping. Show that has a unique fixed point and that any has the property that as .
Let be the set of continuous real-valued functions on with the uniform norm. Suppose is defined by
for all and . Show that is not a contraction mapping but that is.
