Let $T:X \to X$ be a map on a complete non-empty metric space. Assume that for all $x$ and $y$ in $X$, $\sum_n d(T^n(x),T^n(y))<\infty$. Then $T$ has a unique fixed point.

guess: I assume that the existence and unicity of a fixed point can be shown directly with the standard Banach fixed point theorem, by a suitable choice of the metric that makes the map $T$ a contraction.

    @kahen: The fact that $T$ has a fixed point doesn't depend on the metric...2012-02-08
