MHB Contraction and contractive mapping

[ozkan12]

Let $(X,d)$ be a complete metric space, and suppose that $f:X \to X$ satisfies the condition: for each $\epsilon >0$, there exists $\delta > 0$ such that for all $x,y \in X$

$$ \epsilon \le d(x,y) < \epsilon+\delta \implies d(f(x),f(y)) < \epsilon.$$Clearly, this condition implies that the mapping $f$ is contractive... also $f$ map is contraction...but I don't understand ? how this contraction, how this happened ? please help me :) thanks a lot :)

Here's the definition of a contraction mapping on a metric space:

A function $f:M \to M$ is a contraction mapping iff there exists a real number $k\in [0,1)$ such that for all $x,y \in M$, we have $d(f(x),f(y)) \le k \, d(x,y)$.

It seems to me that we need to massage the condition you were given to look like the definition of a contraction mapping. How do you think we could do that?

Let $(X,d)$ be a complete metric space, and suppose that $f:X\to X$ satisfies the condition: for each $\epsilon >0$, there exists $\delta > 0$ such that for all $x,y \in X$,

$$\epsilon \le d(x,y) \implies d(f(x),f(y)) < \epsilon.$$this write in theorem...and this case has a relation with contraction mapping but I don't understand...I wrote this as in the theorem

Hi ozkan12,

It's not clear what the statement is. Are supposing that $f : X \to X$ satisfies the property that for every $\epsilon$, there is a $\delta > 0$ such that for all $x,y \in X$, $d(x,y) \ge \mathbf{\delta}$ implies $d(f(x),f(y)) < \epsilon$?

 

[ozkan12]

no, $f$ satisfies this condition

$$\epsilon \le d(x,y) <\epsilon+\delta \implies d(f(x),f(y))< \epsilon$$

then this concept has a relation contraction map...but it how happen ? I don't understand
