Theorem: (Fixed-Point Theorem)
Let g C[a, b] be such that g(x) [a, b], for all x in [a, b]. Suppose, in
addition, that g’ exists on (a, b) and that a constant 0 < k < 1 exists with
|g’(x)| k for all x (a, b). Then, for any number p0 in [a, b], the
sequence defined by pn = g( pn – 1 ), n 1, converges to the unique fixed
point p in [a, b].
Proof: a. Let f(x) = g(x) – x.
a g( x ) b f (a ) g(a ) a 0 and f (b ) g (b) b 0
The Intermediate Value Theorem implies that f has a root,
and hence g has a fixed point.
b. Prove by contradiction:
Suppose p and q are both fixed points of g in [a, b] and p q.
The Mean Value Theorem implies that a number exists
between p and q with g(p) – g(q) = g’() (p – q).
(1 – g’()) (p – q) == 0p = q Contradiction!
Hence the fixed point is unique.
