A note on Banach fixed point property


Abstract:

In this short note we consider a sort of converse of the Banach fixed point theorem and prove that a metric space $X$ is complete if and only if$,$ for each closed subspace $Y\subseteq X,$ any contraction $f\colon Y\rightarrow Y$ has a fixed point $y\in Y.$
