Moving closer: contractive maps on discrete metric spaces and graphs

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

We consider discrete metric spaces and we look for non-constant contractions. We introduce the notion of contractive map and we characterize the spaces with non-constant contractive maps. We provide some examples to discussion the possible relations between contractions, contractive maps and constant functions. Finally we apply the main result to the subgraphs of a non-oriented, connected graph.
