On iterative equivalence of some classes of mappings



Abstract

We introduce the notion of iterative equivalence of two classes of mappings on metric spaces and we demonstrate its utility in metric fixed-point theory. In particular, we show that the fixed-point theorem for Matkowski's contractions can be derived from the corresponding theorem for Browder's contractions, though the first class of mappings is essentially wider than the second one.
