This paper is an outgrowth of studies related to the converse of the contraction mapping principle. A natural formulation of the converse statement may be stated as follows: “Let X be a complete metric space, and T be a mapping of X into itself such that for each x ∈ X, the sequence of iterates {Tnx} converges to a unique fixed point ω ∈ X. Then there exists a complete metric in X in which T is a contraction.” This is in fact true, even in a stronger sense, as may be seen from the following result of Bessaga (1).
