+## Review from last lecture
+
+### Bisection method for finding root
+
+P1. Let $f$ be a continuous function on $[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$, find $\xi \in [a,b]$ such that $f(\xi)=0$.
+
+P2. Let $g$ be a continuous function on $[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$, find $\xi \in [a,b]$ such that $g(\xi)=\xi$.
+
+#### Theorem 1:
+
+solution to P1 exists if $f(a)f(b)<0$.
+
+#### Theorem 2:
+
+Fixed point theorem:
+
+If solution to P2 exists, then $g:[a,b]\to [a,b]$.
+
+#### Bijection method
+
+Obtain two sequence $(a_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ and $(b_n)_{n=1}^\infty$.
+
+Initially, we set $a_0=a$ and $b_0=b$.
+
+If $|a_n-b_n|<2^{-n}|a_0-b_0|$, then $a_n$ and $b_n$ are Cauchy sequence. So their limit exists.
+
+$\lim_{n\to\infty} a_n=\lim_{n\to\infty} b_n=\xi$.
+
+### Simple iteration method
+
+#### Definition of Simple Iteration
+
+Given $x_0\in [a,b]$, we define a sequence $(x_n)_{n=0}^\infty$ by
+
+$$
+x_{n+1}=g(x_n)
+$$
+
+If a simple iteration converges, the it converges to a fixed point of
+
+
+
+Proof
+
+Let $c\coloneqq \lim_{n\to\infty} x_n=g(c)$.
+
+$g:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$ is continuous if and only if $g$ is continuous at $x_0\in [a,b]$.
+
+
+
+#### Definition of Lipschitz continuous
+
+A function $g:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$ is Lipschitz continuous if for all $x,y\in [a,b]$, there exists a constant $L>0$ such that
+
+$$
+|g(x)-g(y)|\leq L|x-y|
+$$
+
+for some $L>0$.
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Lipschitz continuous is a stronger condition than continuous.
+>
+> If a function is Lipschitz continuous, then it is continuous.
+>
+> However, the converse is not true.
+
+#### Definition of contraction mapping
+
+A function $g:[a,b]\to \mathbb{R}$ is a contraction mapping if it is Lipschitz continuous with $L<1$.
+
+#### Theorem of simple iteration
+
+Let $g:[a,b]\to [a,b]$ is a contraction mapping (Lipschitz continuous with $L<1$, with pointwise ontinuous $g$).
+
+Then
+
+- $g$ has a unique fixed point $\xi \in [a,b]$
+- Simple iteration $x_{n+1}=g(x_n)$ converges to $\xi$ for any $x_0\in [a,b]$.
+
+
+
+Proof
+
+**Uniqueness**:
+
+Suppose $\xi_1$ and $\xi_2$ are two fixed points of $g$.
+
+Then $|x_1-x_2|=|g(\xi_1)-g(\xi_2)|\leq L|\xi_1-\xi_2|$.
+
+Thus, $(1-L)|\xi_1-\xi_2|\leq 0$, which implies $|\xi_1-\xi_2|=0$.
+
+A more general result:
+
+Brouwer's fixed point theorem
+
+**Convergence**:
+
+Let $\xi\in [a,b]$ be the unique fixed point of $g$.
+
+Then,
+
+$$
+\begin{aligned}
+|x_n-\xi|&=|g(x_{n-1})-g(\xi)|\\
+&\leq L|x_{n-1}-\xi|\\
+&=L|g(x_{n-2})-g(\xi)|\\
+&\leq L^2|x_{n-2}-\xi|\\
+&\vdots\\
+&\leq L^n|x_0-\xi|
+$$
+
+Thus, we can always find $N$ such that $L^N|x_0-\xi|<\epsilon$ for any $\epsilon>0$. Choose $N=\log(\frac{\epsilon}{|x_0-\xi|})/\log(L)$.
+
+Therefore, $x_n$ converges to $\xi$.
