Convergence of the Sequence of Successive Approximations to a Fixed Point

If (X,d) is a complete metric space and T is a contraction on X, then the conclusion of the Banach-Caccioppoli contraction principle is that the sequence of successive approximations {Tnx} of T starting from any point x∈X converges to a unique fixed point. In this paper, using the concept...

description If (X,d) is a complete metric space and T is a contraction on X, then the conclusion of the Banach-Caccioppoli contraction principle is that the sequence of successive approximations {Tnx} of T starting from any point x∈X converges to a unique fixed point. In this paper, using the concept of τ-distance, we obtain simple, sufficient, and necessary conditions of the above conclusion.
