{{Short description|Theorem about metric spaces}}
In [[mathematics]], the '''Banach fixed-point theorem''' (also known as the '''contraction mapping theorem''' or '''contractive mapping theorem''' or '''Banach-CaccioppoliBanach–Caccioppoli theorem''') is an important [[Convergence proof techniques#contraction mapping|tool]] in the theory of [[metric space]]s; it guarantees the existence and uniqueness of [[fixed point (mathematics)|fixed points]] of certain self-maps of metric spaces, and provides a constructive method to find those fixed points. It can be understood as an abstract formulation of [[Fixed-point iteration|Picard's method of successive approximations]].<ref>{{cite book |first1=David |last1=Kinderlehrer |author-link=David Kinderlehrer |first2=Guido |last2=Stampacchia |author-link2=Guido Stampacchia |chapter=Variational Inequalities in '''R'''<sup>N</sup> |title=An Introduction to Variational Inequalities and Their Applications |___location=New York |publisher=Academic Press |year=1980 |isbn=0-12-407350-6 |pages=7–22 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eCDnoB3Np5oC&pg=PA7 }}</ref> The theorem is named after [[Stefan Banach]] (1892–1945) who first stated it in 1922.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Banach|first= Stefan|author-link=Stefan Banach| title=Sur les opérations dans les ensembles abstraits et leur application aux équations intégrales|journal=[[Fundamenta Mathematicae]]|volume= 3|year=1922|pages= 133–181 |url=http://matwbn.icm.edu.pl/ksiazki/or/or2/or215.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607002842/http://matwbn.icm.edu.pl/ksiazki/or/or2/or215.pdf |archive-date=2011-06-07 |url-status=live |doi=10.4064/fm-3-1-133-181}}</ref><ref>{{cite journal |first=Krzysztof |last=Ciesielski |title=On Stefan Banach and some of his results |journal=Banach J.

Line 64:
* One consequence of the Banach fixed-point theorem is that small Lipschitz perturbations of the identity are [[Lipschitz continuity#Definitions|bi-lipschitz]] homeomorphisms. Let Ω be an open set of a Banach space ''E''; let {{nobr|''I'' : Ω → ''E''}} denote the identity (inclusion) map and let ''g'' : Ω → ''E'' be a Lipschitz map of constant ''k'' < 1. Then
# Ω′ := (''I'' + ''g'')(Ω) is an open subset of ''E'': precisely, for any ''x'' in Ω such that {{nobr|''B''(''x'', ''r'') ⊂ Ω}} one has {{nobr|''B''((''I'' + ''g'')(''x''), ''r''(1 − ''k'')) ⊂ Ω′;}}
# ''I'' + ''g'' : Ω → Ω′ is a bi-lipschitzLipschitz homeomorphism;
: precisely, (''I'' + ''g'')<sup>−1</sup> is still of the form {{nobr|''I'' + ''h'' : Ω → Ω′}} with ''h'' a Lipschitz map of constant ''k''/(1&nbsp;−&nbsp;''k''). A direct consequence of this result yields the proof of the [[inverse function theorem]].
* It can be used to give sufficient conditions under which Newton's method of successive approximations is guaranteed to work, and similarly for Chebyshev's third-order method.

Let ''T'' : ''X'' → ''X'' be a map on a complete non-empty metric space. Then, for example, some generalizations of the Banach fixed-point theorem are:
*Assume that some iterate ''T<sup>n</sup>'' of ''T'' is a contraction. Then ''T'' has a unique fixed point.
*Assume that for each ''n'', there exist ''c<sub>n</sub>'' such that ''d''(''T''<sup>''n''</sup>(''x''), ''T''<sup>''n''</sup>(''y'')) ≤ ''c''<sub>''n''</sub>''d''(''x'', ''y)'') for all ''x'' and ''y'', and that
::<math>\sum\nolimits_n c_n <\infty.</math>
:Then ''T'' has a unique fixed point.
