A Generalized Contraction Mapping Theorem in E-Metric Spaces,

Abstract

The paper addresses itself to general theorems on the convergence of a sequence generated via (x sub (n+1)) = F(x sub n) to a fixed point of the operator F; the best known such theorem is the so-called contraction mapping theorem of Banach. Here the author proves two main theorems which include as special cases many previous generalizations of Banach's theorem. (Author)
