Banach fixed point theorem

Banach Fixed Point Theorem is a mathematical result which tells us that if we take a function and do the same thing to it over and over again then eventually that function will get stuck doing the same thing forever. To put it more simply, it means that if you keep repeating the same thing - no matter how complex - then you will eventually find a point where you can't keep repeating any more.
