Existence of unique fixed point in compact Metric space [duplicate]
Let $(X,d)$ be compact. Show: for a map $f$ that when $\forall x, y \in X$ with $x\neq y$
$d(f(x),f(y))<d(x,y)$ is fulfilled.
Then $f$ has a unique fixed point.

How to show there exist a unique $x_o$ in X such that f($x_o$)=$x_o$? [duplicate]
Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space. Let $f:X\rightarrow X$ be such that $d(f(x), f(y)) < d(x, y)$ for all $x, y\in X$ with $x$ not equal to $y$. Show that $f$ has a fixed point, that is, there ...

A subset of a compact set is compact?
Claim:Let $S\subset T\subset X$ where $X$ is a metric space. If $T$ is compact in $X$ then $S$ is also compact in $X$.
Proof:Given that $T$ is compact in $X$ then any open cover of T, there is a ...

How can I prove $x_{n+1} = e^{-x_n}$ is convergent?
I'm doing a practice problem which asks to prove that the sequence defined by $x_{n+1} = e^{-x_n}$ is convergent (or rather "study the convergence of $(x_n)$"). So I'd like to try and find some ...

Infimum of Distance in Compact Space
If $X$ is a compact metric space, $A: X\to X$, is it true that if $a = \inf d(x,Ax),\space x \in X$, then there exists $y \in X$ such that $d(y,Ay) = \inf d(x,Ax)$? If so, why?
