Fixed Point Theorem: Insights from Different Metric Space Settings

Abstract

The Fixed Point Theorem is a key conclusion in metric spaces, topology, and functional analysis. This theorem proves that a point stays unaltered after a specific transformation. The Fixed Point Theorem: Let X be a non-empty metric space and f: X → X be a contraction mapping. For any x, y ∈ X, the distance between f(x) and f(y) is less than or equal to k times the distance between x and y, i.e., d(f(x), f(y)) ≤ k * d(x, y), where d is the metric. The Fixed Point Theorem states that f(p) = p for a single point p ∈ X. A point in metric space stays unaltered when exposed to the contraction mapping f. This theorem affects several mathematical fields and more. It supports equation solutions, dynamical systems, and stability analysis. The Fixed Point Theorem and fixed points have applications in economics, computer science, and physics, not simply metric spaces. The Banach Contraction Mapping Principle, which guarantees a unique fixed point in a full metric space when the contraction mapping condition is fulfilled, is crucial to the Fixed Point Theorem demonstration. The geometric idea that a contraction mapping "squeezes" distances leads to a point that doesn't move under the mapping. The Fixed Point Theorem shows the power of mathematical abstraction and its far-reaching ramifications by proving the existence of solutions in numerous mathematical and practical situations.
