As observed by A. Bielecki and others ([1], [3]) the Banach contraction principle, when applied to the theory of differential equations, provides proofs of existence and uniqueness of solutions only in a local sense. S. C. Chu and J. B. Diaz ([2]) have found that the contraction principle can be applied to operator or functional equations and even partial differential equations if the metric of the underlying function space is suitably changed.
