    This document contains 7 questions for a coursework assignment on metric spaces and topology. The questions cover determining if a mapping is a contraction, applying the contraction mapping theorem to solve an equation numerically, computing iterations with different initial conditions, determining if a metric space is complete, showing a function is a contraction with respect to a metric, finding a fixed point of a function, and showing a Cauchy sequence converges if a subsequence converges.

    MTH6127 Metric Spaces and Topology

    Course work 7 10 March 2023

    1. Decide if the mapping f : R → R where f (x) = 12 cos x is a contraction.

    2. Apply the Contraction Mapping Theorem to solve numerically the equation


    1
    x= cos x.
    2

    3. Compute the iterations xn = f (xn−1 ) with two different initial conditions. Compare
    the results.

    4. Consider R2 with the d1 -metric, i.e. d1 (v, v 0 ) = |x − x0 | + |y − y 0 | where v = (x, y)


    and v 0 = (x0 , y 0 ). Is this metric space complete? Justify your answer.

    5. Let f : R2 → R2 be given by f (v) = ( 31 y, 31 (x + 1)) ,where v = (x, y). Show that f


    is a contraction with respect to the d1 -metric.

    6. Find the fixed point of f .

    7. Assume that a Cauchy sequence (xn ) in a metric space (X, d) contains a subsequence
    (xni ) which converges to a point x0 ∈ X. Show that the whole sequence (xn )
    converges to x0 as well.
