Let (X1, d1) and (X2, d2) be metric spaces. A mapping/: X1→X2 is said to be a Lipschitz mapping (with respect to d1 and d2) if and only if (*)d2(f(x), f(y))≤λ⋅ d1(x, y) for all x, y∈X1, where λ is a fixed real number. The constant λ is called a Lipschitz constant for f. If (*) is satisfied for λ=l, then f is called nonexpansive (see, for example, [21]) and if (*), again with λ=1, is replaced by a strict inequality for all x≠y, then f is called contractive [1]. If x∊X1 and X1=X2, then the sequence where f1(x)=f(x) and fn(x)=f(fn-1(x)) for each n>1, is called the sequence of iterates of f at x.
