Abstract

Let (X,\dist)(X,\dist) be a complete metric space and let CXC\subseteq X be a closed invariant set. We study fixed points of maps T ⁣:CCT\colon C\to C governed by a \emph{verifiable} contractive modulus. The modulus is encoded by a contractive gauge ω\omega and a certified constant κ=sup0<rRω(r)/r<1\kappa=\sup_{0<r\le R}\omega(r)/r<1 on a computable working radius RR. From this datum we derive explicit a priori bounds \dist(xn,x)Φ(n;κ,δ0)\dist(x_n,x^\ast)\le \Phi(n;\kappa,\delta_0) for Picard iterates, a residual-to-error estimate, and a quantitative data dependence bound \dist(x,y)(1κ)1supxC\dist(Tx,Sx)\dist(x^\ast,y^\ast)\le (1-\kappa)^{-1}\sup_{x\in C}\dist(Tx,Sx). We further treat inexact evaluations \dist(x~n+1,Tx~n)ηn\dist(\tilde x_{n+1},T\tilde x_n)\le \eta_n and obtain certified resilience bounds with the same stability factor. The framework applies to Hammerstein--Volterra integral equations and to boundary value problems via Green operators, where kernel bounds yield certified convergence rates.
