Abstract

This paper aims to propose normed structures for groups and to establish the Lipschitz mapping of a normed group G to itself. We also investigate some conjugate and isomorphic Lipschitz mappings to determine the equivalent norm and inverse Lipschitz mappings. Specifically, in the main result, we present a fixed point theorem for self-mappings satisfying certain contraction principles on a complete normed group.

PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

In mathematical analysis, Lipschitz continuity (named after Rudolf Lipschitz) is the Picard–Lindelöf theorem’s central condition. A particular type of Lipschitz continuity, called contraction, is used in the Banach fixed-point theorem (known as the contraction mapping theorem) is an essential tool that ensures the existence and uniqueness of fixed points of certain self-mappings and provides a constructive method to find those fixed points. From previous studies, it has been shown that Banach fixed-point theorem is a useful mechanism for numerous branches of mathematical analysis, general topology, functional analysis, and economics. One of the most known applications of Banach’s fixed point theorem for economists is Bellman’s functional equations.

This article mainly focused on understanding the general properties of Lipschitz self-mappings and its connection with the existence of isomorphic group-norm. We have investigated Banach fixed point theorem for normed groups to determine the existence of unique fixed points following specific conditions.
