Consider $ mathbbR^2 $ with the usual Euclidean distance $ d$. I have to show that the equation $ v = M(v)$ where



$$ M(v) = (1,1) + beta(x,y), quad beta in [0,1) $$



for all $ v=(x,y)$, has a unique fixed point $v^star$, by using the contraction mapping theorem (see here). Clearly $ mathbbR^2 $ is complete and $M:mathbbR^2 to mathbbR^2$. But how can I show that $M$ is a contraction?



Using the definition of contraction, I have to show that:



$$ lVert M(v) - M(v^prime) rVert leq beta lVert v - v^prime rVert $$



for some $beta in [0,1) $, and for all $v,v^prime in mathbbR^2$.

    Have you tried anything at all yet? (Hint: using the definition of a contraction gets you pretty far.....)

    @Thomas I computed the fixed point, $ v^star = ( dfrac11-beta, dfrac11-beta) $ :)

  • @Alessandro: Nicely done! You've shown that a fixed point (if it exists) has the form $leftlanglefrac11-beta,frac11-betarightrangle.$ Now, you are supposed to use the CMT to prove that a fixed point exists. You've taken an end-around approach, which (while valid) will not get you full credit on your assignment.

It was pretty easy :)
Let $ lVert cdot rVert $ denote the Euclidean distance between two vectors. Then



$$ lVert M(v) - M(v^prime) rVert = lVert beta (v_1,v_2)- beta(v^prime_1,v^prime_2) rVert = beta lVert v - v^prime rVert $$



This shows that $M$ is a contraction with modulus $ beta $. Therefore I can apply the CMT, as suggested above, and this buys me the fixed point.



Thanks @Thomas for the advice!
