Abstract
This paper provides a survey of iteration procedures that have been used to
obtain fixed points for maps satisfying a variety of contractive conditions. The author does
not claim to provide complete coverage of the literature, and admits to certain biases in the
theorems that are cited herein. In spite of these shortcomings, however, this paper should be
a useful reference for those persons wishing to become better acquainted with the area.
