A question about the existence of surjective contractions
A few years ago I was doing some research in origami, and was motivated to as the following questions:
Consider $\mathbb{R}^2$ with the Euclidean metric and Lebesgue measure. Does there exist a ...

Finding a distance so that this function is a contraction mapping
Let $f(x,y)=(y,\frac{2}{x+y})$ defined on $(0,\infty)\times (0,\infty)$. Is there a distance $d$ on $(0,\infty)\times (0,\infty)$ such that $f$ is a contraction of the metric space $((0,\infty)\times (...

Differentiability of the fixed points of a family of contraction maps
Given a general Banach space $B$ and a one-parameter family of contractions $F_t:B\to B$ which is defined for all $t \in (a,b)$. $F_t$ depends continuously on $t$ (in the sense $\lim_{\varepsilon\to 0}...

Existence of distance-preserving mappings for general norm in vector space
We say a mapping $f:\mathbb R^n\to \mathbb R^n$ be 1-Lipschitz with respect to a norm $\|\cdot\|$ if $\|f(x)-f(z)\|\le\|x-z\|$ holds for all $x,z\in\mathbb R^n$. Such a mapping are sometimes called a ...

Is this a contraction mapping for small $T$?
Let $G$ be the heat kernal, i.e. for $0\le t<s$ and $x,y\in\mathbb R$
$$G(t,x;s,y):=\frac{1}{\sqrt{4\pi(s-t)}}\exp\left(-\frac{(y-x)^2}{4(s-t)}\right).$$
For $T>0$, let $\mathcal H_T:=\{h:[0,T]\...

Multivariate extensions of Ledoux--Talagrand contraction principle
Let $\{\varepsilon_i\}_{i=1}^n$ be a sequence of independent Radecmacher (i.e., symmetric Bernoulli) variables, and let $\phi_i :\mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ be contraction (i.e., 1-Lipschitz) mappings ...

Steps of the MMP "in family"
Let $\pi\colon X\to Y$ be a morphism between irreducible varieties with terminal singularities (let us say smooth if you want). I suppose that I have an open subset $U$ of $Y$ over which the fibres ...

Determining the behavior of a contraction mapping with undefined points
Label $X$ as the real interval $[0, a]$ where $a \in \mathbb{R}^+$, so that $\text{int}(X) = (0, a)$ labels the interior of $X$ and $\partial X$ labels the boundary of $X$. I have a function $f:\text{...

Gradient flows: convex potential vs. contractive flow?
Take a $\mathcal C^2$ potential $V:\mathbb R^d\to \mathbb R$, and assume that it is bounded from below (say $\min V=0$ for simplicity, so that $V\geq 0$).
Consider the autonomous gradient-flow
$$
\dot ...

Set operations over iterated function systems
An iterated function system (IFS) is a finite set of contraction mappings on a complete metric space. Symbolically,
$$\{f_i :X \to X \mid i=1,2,..n \},\quad n \in \mathbb{N}$$
is an IFS if each $...

Solving for a monotone function - contraction operator for functions?
I want to solve a problem for an increasing function $g(x)$, for $x \in [0,1]$ and with $g(0) = 0$ and $g(1) = 1$.
The solution will be solution to the following equation
$\forall x$, $f_1(x) = f_2(g(...

Generation of strict contraction semigroups
Let $T(t)$ be a $C_0$-semigroup on Banach space $X$, and $A$ its generator. By Lumer-Philipps theorem we know that if $A$ is densely defined and m-dissipative operator then it generates a $C_0$-...

A exemple of a strongly-continuous contraction semigroup : how to prove the contraction?
I am trying to prove that $P_t := e^{\lambda t (P-I)}$ (where $Pf:= \int f(y) P(\cdot , dy)\in \mathcal{C}_0(\mathbb{R}^d)$, for $f\in \mathcal{C}_0(\mathbb{R}^d)$, $P$ being a probability kernel), is ...

Notion of contractive map for certain set-valued functions
A map $f:\mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C}$ is contractive (and Lipschitz) if
for every $z_1,z_2$, we have $|f(z_1)-f(z_2)|\le K|z_1-z_2|$ for some positive $K<1$. This implies the existence of a unique, ...

Is there an appropriate weighted Sobolev space to include exponential map and projection map?
Observe that given a non negative function
$\omega: \mathbb{R^2} \rightarrow [0, \infty)$, we can define the weighted
$L^{p}(\mathbb{R}^2, \omega) $ spaces. They are measurable functions
