Abstract

Some generalizations of the Banach contraction theorem replace the global hypothesis that the function be a contraction with various local hypotheses. In this paper, we examine a few of these, and show that, in fact, the functions actually satisfied the global hypothesis after a suitable change of metric. Finally, the techniques developed are applied to prove a new fixed point theorem for locally expansive maps.
