(b) Assume there is a subsequence p kn which converges to a point q in S. Prove that<br />

c dq, fq dfq, ffq.<br />

Deduce that q is a fixed point of f and that p n q.<br />

Proof: Since lim n p kn q, and lim n c n c, wehavelim n c kn c. So,we<br />

consider<br />

c lim n<br />

c kn<br />

lim n<br />

dp kn , p kn1 <br />

lim n<br />

dp kn , fp kn <br />

dq, fq<br />

and<br />

dp kn , p kn1 dp kn1 , p kn ... dfp kn1 , f 2 p kn1 ,<br />

we have<br />

c dq, fq lim n<br />

dfp kn1 , f 2 p kn1 dfq, f 2 q. *<br />

So, by (*) and hypoethesis<br />

dfx, fy dx, y<br />

where x y, we know that q fq c 0, in fact, this q is a unique fixed point. .<br />

In order to show that p n p, we consider (let m kn)<br />

dp m , q dp m , fq dp m1 , q .. dp kn , q<br />

So, given 0, there exists a positive integer N such that as n N, wehave<br />

dp kn , q .<br />

Hence, as m kN, wehave<br />

dp m , q .<br />

That is, p n p.
