Banach fixed point theorem / convergence squeeze

I am trying to prove a convergence result on an iterative scheme which has the initial point defined as $$x_1 = \frac{1 - s(x_0)}{s(x_0)}$$ where s(x) is some unknown function. Here is my theorem and ...

Is this sum of nonexpansive maps itself nonexpansive?

For Hilbert spaces $\mathcal{H}_X$, $\mathcal{H}_Y$ and $\mathcal{K}$, consider a linear map $f\colon \mathcal{K} \oplus \mathcal{H}_X \to \mathcal{K} \oplus \mathcal{H}_Y$ that is given as a matrix $...

Takahashi minimization theorem for lower pseudo-continuous functions on complete metric spaces

Takahashi minimization theorem says : Let $(X,d)$ is a complete metric space, $f:X\to \mathbb{R}\cup\{+\infty\}$ is a proper(not constantly +$\infty$) lower semi continuous function, which is bounded ...

Base of topology for metric-like space

Let $X$ be a nonempty set and $p:X\times X\rightarrow\mathbb{R}^+ $ be a function satisfying the following conditions for all $x,y,z\in X$: \begin{align} &1)\enspace p(x,y)=0\implies x=y \\ &2)...

Converse to Banach's fixed point theorem?

Let $(X,d)$ be a metric space. Banach's fixed point theorem states that if $X$ is complete, then every contraction map $f:X\to X$ has a unique fixed point. A contraction map is a continuous map for ...

Continuity of central point operation

Stanisław Mazur and Stanisław Ulam, in their joint paper, characterized the mid-point $\ \frac{a+b}2\ $ in a Banach space in pure metric terms (without algebra). This allowed them to show that any two ...

Converse to Banach’s fixed point theorem for ordered fields?

Suppose $R$ is an ordered field. Call a continuous map $f: R \rightarrow R$ a contraction if there exists $r < 1$ (in $R$) such that $|f(x)-f(y)| \leq r |x-y|$ for all $x,y \in R$ (where $|x| := \...
