Inmathematicsand more particularly inanalyze, a contracting application a contraction, is aapplicationwho "brings closer theimagesor,
more precisely, aapplicationkLipschitzianaveck< 1. Thefixed point theoremthe simplest and most commonly used concerns contracting applications.
Aendomorphismnormed vector spacefrom thenormis strictly less than 1 (or aaffine applicationassociated with such an endomorphism) is a
contracting application. The simplest example is that of ahomothetythe report λ with |λ| < 1.
More generally, theinequality of finite incrementsallows to show that a differentiable function with bounded derivative in norm less than 1 is contracting; it is by
example the case on the application , aveck= 2/3.

The classical proof essentially consists of showing that for any sequence satisfying , on a .

Uniqueness
Existence
We deduce, as in the 'classic proof', the convergence of the sequence and the upper bound of the error, and the end of the proof of existence is
identical.

This theorem is often referred to as the fixed point theorem ofBanach— who stated it in 1920 as part of the resolution ofintegral equations

or the fixed point theorem ofPicard.

These results provide an algorithm for calculating the fixed point (this is the 'method of successive approximations'). ) unlike other point theorems
We only have fixes that guarantee the existence of fixed points without indicating how to determine them. Moreover, the statement provides an upper bound on the error.
