Fixed-Point Theorems Involving Lipschitz in the Small

Lipschitz in the small is a generalization of the Lipschitz condition. The Lipschitz condition guarantees the uniqueness of the solution of the initial value problems. A special Lipschitz condition in the small is a contraction in the small. Based on the Lipschitz in the small in this paper, fixed-point theorems involving contraction in the small will be presented. The results will be applied to develop Picard's theorem.
