Statement

Let (X,d)(X,d) be a complete metric space, and suppose that XX is nonempty. Let T:XXT:X\to X be a contraction. Then TT has a unique fixed point in XX.

Moreover, for every x0Xx_0\in X, the iterated sequence

xm+1=T(xm)(mN{0})x_{m+1}=T(x_m)\qquad (m\in\mathbb{N}\cup\{0\})

converges to that fixed point, where N\mathbb{N} denotes the natural numbers.
