A discrete fixed point theorem of Eilenberg as a particular case of the contraction principle
Fixed Point Theory and Applications volume 2004, Article number: 501092 (2004)
Abstract
We show that a discrete fixed point theorem of Eilenberg is equivalent to the restriction of the contraction principle to the class of non-Archimedean bounded metric spaces. We also give a simple extension of Eilenberg's theorem which yields the contraction principle.
