Fixed point function

Given a function $g(x)$ defined over $Omega = [a,b]$ with the following properties:





  • $Omega$ stable by $g$ : $g(Omega) subset Omega iff forall x in Omega, g(Omega) in Omega$


  • $exists K,K<1, forall x forall y, |g(x)-g(y)|<K|x-y|$


How do I show that the function $g(x)-x$ changes sign over $Omega$ and deduct that exists a fixed point over $Omega$? I am inclined to use the fact that $(g(a)-a).(g(b)-b)<0$, but I am not quite sure how to get there.

$g(a) in [a,b] implies g(a) ge a$. If $g(a)=a$, then $a$ is a fixed point.



$g(b) in [a,b] implies g(b) le b$. If $g(b)=b$, then $b$ is a fixed point.



Otherwise, $g(a)-a>0$ and $g(b)-b<0$.



Finally, $|g(x)-g(y)|<K|x-y|$ implies that $g$ is continuous and you can apply the intermediate value theorem to $f(x)=g(x)-x$, as planned.

    $g(a) in [a,b] implies g(a) ge a$. If $g(a)=a$, then $a$ is a fixed point.



    $g(b) in [a,b] implies g(b) le b$. If $g(b)=b$, then $b$ is a fixed point.



    Otherwise, $g(a)-a>0$ and $g(b)-b<0$.



    Finally, $|g(x)-g(y)|<K|x-y|$ implies that $g$ is continuous and you can apply the intermediate value theorem to $f(x)=g(x)-x$, as planned.
